$50,000 GRANTS TO CREATE MENTALLY HEALTHY WORKPLACES

Projects and initiatives that help support mental health recovery in the workplace could be eligible for a NSW Government grant worth up to $50,000.

Minister for Customer Service Victor Dominello said the Recovery Boost program, administered by the State Insurance Regulatory Authority (SIRA), would fund projects that promote seeking assistance early, supporting an individual's recovery and reducing stigma around mental health.

Projects must demonstrate that they meet at least one or more of Recovery Boost’s funding principles of being sustainable, innovative and adoptable in the workplace.

Minister for Mental Health Bronnie Taylor urged more businesses to take up the annual program to support the mental health and wellbeing of staff during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Australian based organisations, including not- for-profit organisations, social enterprises, government agencies and individuals are eligible to apply.

Expressions of interest for the Recovery Boost Grant program are open until 6 August.
