The NSW Government has opened up EOI’s for the AOD Family Carers and Friends Grant. Total funding of $1 million per year is available, with a maximum of $250,000 per organisation per year. Funding is for an initial 3 years, with the possibility of extension.
This EOI is for ACCHS that already have an AOD or Social and Emotional Wellbeing program, with the aim being to enhance their ability to:
- work with people using AOD in more family-inclusive ways
- provide more services and supports for families/carers/friends/kin of people using AOD and
- link families/carers/friends/kin with the services and supports they need to maintain their own health and wellbeing.
This aims to improve outcomes for people using AOD as well as outcomes for their families, carers, friends and kin.
The guidelines for the EOI and the application form here.
Note that Stream 1 of the AOD Family Carer and Friends Grant is also currently open. If you wish, you may apply for either or both of these streams, however only one grant per organisation will be awarded.
Further information is available here.
Both streams of the grant will close on 9 December 2024 at 12.00 noon.
