- formalise and expand the Program’s services through greater sector engagement and communication as well as increase partnerships with universities, health schools and services, and health professional organisations.
The intended outcomes of the grant opportunity are to:
- increase access and uptake of peer support within the healthcare workforce;
- increase retention and reduce the prevalence of mental health impacts such as burnout among the healthcare workforce; and
- improve the overall mental health and wellbeing of the healthcare workforce across Australia.
