Grants

Funding initiatives that improve return to work outcomes

Each grant round will have a specific theme. Each theme will:

• align to the key return to work areas of focus
• address key barriers workers face.

Initiatives can include:

• education and training programs
• new treatment and support services
• programs that promote recovery at work.

We will share our key learnings with the community to improve support for workers.

Grant rounds

Round 1 – March 2025

Early intervention for mental injuries

Getting people back to work after an injury is beneficial for their health and wellbeing. It encourages financial independence, improved physical functioning and better mental health.

The sooner someone returns to work after an injury, the better their chances of returning to their pre-injury life.

Grants up to $500,000 are available for initiatives that improve workers' return to work outcomes from the time a mental injury claim is lodged up to 26 weeks post claim acceptance.
