Grants to support connection, mental health and mental wellbeing

Applications are now open for the 2023 Australia Post Community Grants program.

Eligible not-for-profit organisations can apply for a grant of up to $10,000 to support community-led, local projects that connect individuals and communities to improve mental health and mental wellbeing.

We know that being connected and being part of a community is vital to maintaining good mental health and wellbeing. Our Post Offices and our people are at the centre of more than 4,000 communities and, as a postal service, we facilitate millions of connections each year.

That’s why we’re committed to help making mental health and wellbeing a part of everyday conversations and to build stronger, more connected communities.

Our Community Grants enable organisations such as Monash Men's Shed to run Check Mate, a weekly meeting encouraging men to check in and to let others know how they are feeling, to expand their scope or resources. 

Since 2020, we’ve awarded more than 200 grants to community organisations to support projects that help improve connection, mental health and mental wellbeing.

Because when we connect, we feel better.

Applications close 2 July 2023. To learn more about the program, visit the Community Grants Program page on the Australia Post website.

*Incorporated not-for-profit organisations are eligible to apply. Applicants should read the guidelines carefully before completing the online application form.
