The Rural PHC Business Support Grant assists private allied health practices and Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services (ACCHS) in rural South Australia to increase access to essential primary care for their local communities.

The grant provides up to $5,000 ex GST towards the cost of implementing quality improvement and innovation initiatives that will improve or increase access to primary care. Eligible activities are outlined in the applicant guidelines.

Eligibility

To be eligible for this grant, allied health practices and ACCHS must:

• Be located in a rural South Australian (MM2-7)
• Be a business entity registered with an ABN
• Employ or contract PHC allied health professionals currently delivering services to the rural community for at least five sessions (0.5FTE) per week ongoing
• Be able to undertake the proposed initiatives within the 2025/26 financial year.

Practices with multiple sites can apply for a grant for each site, provided the site meets the eligibility criteria. A separate application for each site is required unless the activity across multiple sites is less than the maximum grant of $5,000 ex GST.

State, Australian and local government owned or operated entities are not eligible to apply.

You can check your MM location in South Australia using the Health Workforce Locator Modified Monash Model 2023.
