Grant Opportunities

SGPN can assist in identifying funding opportunities available to general practice. Funding is most commonly offered through the Federal Government, but can also be available through State Government and private trust funds.

Most grants are open for application for a limited period of time and occur annually. Therefore it is important to understand the aims and timing of the funding program and have your information ready to go.

SGPN provides the following submission writing assistance free of charge to the region's general practices:

  • Initial visit to discuss process and selection criteria
  • Provision of data such as population demographics
  • Letter of support
  • Review submission prior to sending

Alternatively, SGPN Business Solutions can contract a submission writer to prepare the entire funding proposal.

On this pages there are links to some existing funding programs, however, the best option is to contact us and outline your needs and we will endeavour to identify potential sources of funds.
