REIMBURSEMENT GRANTS PROGRAM

The Mental Health Month Reimbursement Grants Program provides funding to help local ACT groups and organisations host a mental health-focused event during Mental Health Month.

​

The scope of Mental Health Month events is limited only by your imagination and enthusiasm! 

​

Events should seek to maximise the wellbeing of individuals and the wider community and promote positive mental health.
