About this fund

Community Grants are available to children's health services within hospitals and community health organisations, to health professionals, and to special groups for chronically ill children and their parents and guardians.

Grants are for items that can be shown to provide medical or therapeutic help to groups of children. Applications are reviewed by the grant selection committee, you'll get a copy of your submission by email, and we'll let you know the decision by email too.

The form lets you save and come back later — you'll be emailed a link to pick up where you left off.

Who can apply

Children's health services within hospitals
Community health organisations and health professionals
Special groups for chronically ill children and their parents or guardians

What we can fund

Yes, we can help with

Equipment with a medical or therapeutic benefit for children

Sorry, we can't fund

Staff development or conference costs — refer these to hospital management
Goods ordered online or from overseas companies

Outgrown it? Pass it on. It's a condition of the grant that equipment no longer needed can be returned to Our Kids for our equipment pool — and some requests may be met from that pool straight away.

Before you start

Applications open on Tuesday 1 June, so there's time to get these together. Have these ready before you start. Tick them off as you go — we'll remember on this device.
