Grants Program
Supporting local GPs, health services and community wellbeing initiatives
Western NSW Primary Health Network (WNSW PHN) is committed to supporting local communities by providing targeted health service and GP grants. Through our primary care grants program, we aim to support initiatives that address local health priorities, strengthen primary health care services, and improve health and wellbeing across the WNSW PHN region.
Whether you’re a health provider, community organisation or not-for-profit, our health services and GP grants program offers opportunities to bring your community health initiatives to life. From tackling chronic disease to improving mental health or supporting Aboriginal health services, our funding helps deliver real, lasting outcomes for the people of Western and Far West NSW.

Active Minds, Active Bodies Program Initiative 2025 – Allied Health Led Community Activation
WNSW PHN is supporting the rollout of the Active Minds, Active Bodies program across Western and Far West NSW to promote inclusive, meaningful, and sustainable physical and social activities for older Australians.

The program is designed to support older people—including those from Aboriginal communities, culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, LGBTQI+ communities, and individuals with mobility challenges—by offering opportunities to participate in activities that enhance physical wellbeing – reducing frailty and falls, mental health, and social inclusion.

Activities should be developed in consultation with local communities and may include initiatives such as walking groups or other health-focused gatherings covering 6 months period.
