An expert panel including departmental and inter-agency representatives and community leaders will review proposals against the fact sheet and funding guidelines.

Priority will be given to projects:

  • that embed local leadership in their design and delivery
  • for communities with significant social and emotional wellbeing needs
  • for communities with interim Local Decision Making Bodies as part of the Local Thriving Communities reform
  • for communities that have not yet received government funding for social and emotional wellbeing and suicide prevention programs or initiatives.
