Carers Small Grants Program
Status: OPEN - closing 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.
What's the Program About?
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.
Your project, event, or activity should demonstrate how it 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.
You are also encouraged to consider how your project, event or activity aligns to the Tasmania Government commitments under the National Agreement on Closing the Gap. This could include ensuring your project, event or activity is culturally respectful or captures data on the experiences of Aboriginal carers.
Your organisation is encouraged to engage with carers to design the project, event or activity.
Holding your project, event or activity around National Carers Week 2025 can help attract local media attention and increase your reach in the community.
Your project, event, or activity must be complete no later 30 June 2026.
