Community small grants for healthy ageing

Primary Health Tasmania is offering eligible organisations the opportunity to apply for a grant of up to $75,000 to support activities that help older Tasmanians aged over 60 and Aboriginal people aged over 45, to age healthily while living in the community.

This grant program will deliver community based healthy ageing activities designed to improve physical, mental, and social wellbeing among older Tasmanians. Activities will address known needs in the population and align strongly with Primary Health Tasmania’s intent to support ageing well in the community. Healthy ageing initiatives may include, but are not limited to:

1. Social isolation reduction and community connection.
2. Mindfulness and wellbeing support.
3. Healthy ageing education and health literacy support.
4. Chronic disease self-management support.
5. Frailty and falls prevention.
   

The program will commence in June 2026 (earlier if possible) with all activities to be completed by 30 June 2027.
