SUNSHINE Coast organisations are being encouraged to apply for Health and Wellbeing Queensland’s 2025 Community Grants, with up to $600,000 available statewide for grassroots health initiatives.
Backed by $1.6 million in total funding since 2023, the grants support innovative, community-led projects that improve nutrition, physical activity, sleep, wellbeing, and health equity — particularly in areas facing disadvantage.
“The grants are designed to support bold ideas and local projects – especially in communities experiencing disadvantage or facing barriers to good health,” said Dr Robyn Littlewood, Chief Executive, Health and Wellbeing Queensland.
Up to $20,000 is available per project, with local relevant groups on the Sunshine Coast eligible to apply.
“These projects are now helping to shape healthier environments for Queensland kids and their families, where good food, active lifestyles and healthy sleep are supported by design – not left to chance,” Dr Littlewood said.
Applications are now open via the Health and Wellbeing Queensland website.
