General practices in our region are encouraged to apply for our the Supporting Access to Vaccination for Vulnerable Groups Grant in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing efforts of general practice to support the vaccination program. These grants may be used for COVID-19 vaccination related expenses to improve vaccination rates for vulnerable and non-Medicare eligible populations.
General practices in the Blue Mountains, Hawkesbury, Lithgow and Penrith LGAs.
This grant offers general practices support for unplanned additional costs incurred during the pandemic.This grant can also be used to improve the vaccination status of vulnerable populations and non-Medicare eligible patients using data quality activities.
Examples of vulnerable groups include but are not limited to the following:
Costs covered by the Medicare Benefits Schedule or applications relating to infrastructure are out of scope for this grant and will not be successful.
Applications are now closed.
Applications will be assessed by us on a rolling basis, and successful grant recipients will be notified via email with a Letter of Agreement, which needs to be signed and returned. Round one applications are currently closed as funds have been fully expended.
The grants are per site, i.e. if a general practice has more than one site, they can apply once for each site.
Grant recipients may be asked to provide data relating to instances of service relating to grant funded activities. Successful grant recipients will be provided with further details.
No, the general practice does not need to be a COVID-19 vaccination provider.
