WorkSafe grant applications open

Applications are now open for the latest round of WorkSafe Victoria’s grants program – focused on preventing or minimising risks from occupational disease and illness.

Grants of up to $300,000 are available for projects that deliver improved risk management practices, increased education and awareness, or provide better support for those impacted or at risk of harm.

The goal of the WorkSafe grants program is to fund projects that deliver outcomes such as: new or improved risk controls to prevent occupational illness and disease; employers, workers and medical practitioners having the information, knowledge and capabilities required to effectively prevent and respond to occupational illness and disease; improved awareness and education of occupational illness and disease; improved insights or data relating to new or emerging occupational illness and disease and better support for those impacted by occupational disease and illness

Applicants can apply for up to $300,000 in funding for a project to commence in 2024/25 with a maximum project length of three years.

To be eligible, applicants must be organisations with an ABN and must demonstrate the necessary expertise, resources and finances to carry out the proposed project.

Applications close at 2pm on Tuesday, August 6.
