On 9 September 2021, the State Government committed to funding the Mentally Healthy Workplaces Grant Program (MHW Program) over the budget forward estimates to 2024–25. Through the MHW Program, grant funding has been allocated to the Mates in Construction and Steering Healthy Minds initiatives as per the Premier’s 11 March 2021 election commitment.
Grant funding is also available for other similar and innovative initiatives interested in participating in the MHW Program
Program purpose
The Mentally Healthy Workplaces Grant Program will provide funding for entities to implement initiatives that:
- prevent mental injury and mental health conditions at work by managing work-related psychosocial hazards and their associated risks; and
- promote positive practices at work that support mental health and wellbeing.
The program recognises that workplaces can negatively impact mental health. Exposure to experiences such as bullying, harassment, unreasonable demands and excessive control can harm mental health
