Veterans' Health and Wellbeing Research Grants Program

You must meet project deliverables by the deadlines specified in the executed letter of agreement. This may include six-monthly progress reports and a final report. The progress reports will outline the progress of your project against agreed milestones.

As part of the reporting process, you must also provide financial acquittal statements that detail expenditure against each source of project funding. A final report is also required.

Changes are only allowed in exceptional circumstances. Administering or applicant organisations must make a detailed request in writing to the Office for Veterans, Department of the Premier and Cabinet (DPC) at least four weeks prior to the proposed effective date of change. This may include proposed changes to the project timeframe, use of funding, scope or the administering organisation.

The request will be considered by DPC and, if approved, a formal variation will be drafted. The variation will come into effect following execution by both DPC and the administering or applicant organisation.

You can commence your research project once the letter of agreement is fully executed. Research activities and expenditure cannot commence before the letter of agreement is fully executed.

It is anticipated that the outcomes of the grant program will be communicated in November 2023. Following the announcement of grants recipients, DPC will work with successful administering and applicant organisations to confirm project schedules and execute agreements. It is anticipated the agreements will be fully executed in December 2023.

Projects funded under the grants program are expected to commence from 2 January 2024 and be fully completed by 30 June 2025.
