Multicultural Access Program - Local grants

Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) communities are growing in South Eastern NSW, but many still face challenges getting the healthcare they need. These challenges include language barriers, cultural safety concerns, low health literacy, the cost of care and difficulty finding and navigating primary care services, especially outside major towns.

To support local CALD communities, COORDINARE is offering local grants to eligible organisations, to run short, impactful activities that produce meaningful outcomes for CALD communities across South Eastern NSW.

Example activities are included on page 4 of the EOI guidelines. All grant funds must be expended, and project activities completed, by 31 December 2026.
