Carers Small Grants Program
Status: CLOSED 2:00pm, Thursday 4 September 2025
Supporting Tasmanian Carers
The Tasmanian Government acknowledges the vital role and significant contribution of unpaid carers to the health, wellbeing and security of their family members and friends who need support and assistance. We also recognise that carers needs are just as vital.
About the Program 2025-26
To celebrate and promote the contribution of carers to their communities, the Tasmanian Government is providing $20,000 in 2025-26 for a Carers Small Grants Program, for events and activities during National Carers Week 2025, or for projects that support the health and wellbeing of carers.
Projects, events, or activities needed to demonstrate how they will achieve one or more of the following outcomes for carers:
- Feeling recognised, valued and supported;
- Improved health and wellbeing;
- Greater awareness of the supports or services available to them; and
- Feeling connected to other carers and their communities.
Applicants were encouraged to consider how their project, event or activity aligns to the Tasmania Government commitments under the National Agreement on Closing the Gap. This could include ensuring that their project, event or activity is culturally respectful or captures data on the experiences of Aboriginal carers.
Organisations were encouraged to engage with carers to design the project, event or activity.
Holding their project, event or activity around National Carers Week 2025 can help attract local media attention and increase reach in the community.
All projects, events, or activities had to be complete by 30 June 2026.
Funding Arrangements
The total competitive grant pool for the Carers Small Grants Program 2025-26 is $20,000.
