What we mean by growth funding
We use growth funding to respond to the evolving needs as Australia’s population grows to provide more funding and services into the CHSP.
We allocate it based on priority geographical areas and service types.
Growth funding helps service providers:
- expand entry-level aged care services for older people
- meet demonstrated needs and identified gaps in service delivery.
Why growth funding is important
Growth funding targets specific:
- CHSP service types
- priority Aged Care Planning Regions across Australia
- services where demand is greater than supply.
How we advertise grants
We will list future grant opportunities on GrantConnect when they open.
If you want GrantConnect to notify you about future CHSP funding opportunities:
