A COVID-19 vaccine community funding program has been created to increase COVID-19 vaccination uptake amongst priority cohorts.
These groups include Aboriginal people, people with disability, people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, people who are homeless or sleeping rough, people with a mental health issue and those who are at greater risk of COVID-19.
Funding of up to $5,000 is available for organisations, including not-for-profit organisations, Aboriginal corporations, and local government authorities, to promote and facilitate COVID-19 vaccinations in their communities.
The funding can help organisations with activities including local educational programs about vaccines, venue hire for information sessions and vaccination events, and transportation to access vaccinations.
The program is being finalised with more details to be released soon.
