Funding available to expand awareness of the importance of vaccination in vulnerable communities in North Queensland

NQPHN Building Community COVID Vaccination and Awareness Program

The objectives of the NQPHN Building Community COVID Vaccination and Awareness Program are to:

  • protect those most vulnerable from COVID-19 and other vaccine preventable diseases
  • empower community by increasing awareness and uptake of recommended COVID-19 vaccination in communities that are vulnerable to COVID-19 infection, due to low vaccination coverage rates
  • build partnerships with local agencies and community groups to optimise individual and community uptake of vaccination.

Applicants may seek funding for up to $30,000 (excluding GST) – or earlier if funds are exhausted. The timeframe for the delivery of activities to meet Program objectives is until 31 December 2023. Due to the short funding timeframes, all applications will be assessed upon receipt.
