Description: Grants are financial assistance arrangements paid to non-State Government entities to assist them to carry out activities that drive outcomes aligned with the WA health system’s strategic intent.

For community services related funding processes, the following process and documentation requirements should be read in conjunction with the Delivering Community Services in Partnership Policy which is mandated across the WA Government through Premier’s Circular 2019/02.
