The Primary Health Network is funding five (5) grants of $6,000 each to CALD support organisations in the Hunter New England and Central Coast areas to develop video, audio and/or printed materials to encourage local people in CALD community groups impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and associated social isolation to access local mental health and wellbeing support services.
Project outcomes must include:
These resources will provide local information which will help with general mental health issues and also issues such as isolation and social disconnection that are related to the COVID pandemic, or other natural disasters.

The resources are to be completed before August 2021.
