Community Health Services

Strengthening Community Service Delivery

Strengthening Community Service Delivery grants have been developed to add value to the various not-for-profit community services available to the Western Australian Community. They recognise the critical role played by community services in helping to improve the quality of life for our citizens.

Priority for these grants is given to:

• Organisations that provide support to disadvantaged people or groups
• Proposals that will provide a broad community benefit

Lotterywest may support health-related services which are an initiative of the community, rather than a core government service.

Diagnostic / Monitoring Services

Grants may be considered towards the cost of diagnostic/ or monitoring equipment for not-for-profit organisations that provide a significant community service, such as the Lions Help to Hear Foundation and the WA Speech and Hearing Centre.

Targeted Community Health Strategies

Lotterywest will consider grants to community health services for medical equipment for services that:

• Are delivered within a community setting
• Involve preventative and educational elements
• Are of a high quality and use professional, qualified personnel and
• Are financially viable

Community Health Centres

Lotterywest may support general preventative and educative health services provided by Community Health Centres through a grant towards the cost of medical equipment where:

• the service is of a high quality and delivered by appropriate medical professionals
• the service is complementary to the Centre’s core services that are delivered through contractual arrangements with the Health Department and other funding bodies
• the service is financially viable and is supported by medical practitioners in the local area
• services complement rather than duplicate private or public services in the area
• the equipment being purchased is not the responsibility of another agency and
• the service is available to all of the key target groups, e.g. women, Aboriginal people, young people.
