Current Grant Opportunity View - GO6956

In line with the Priority Reforms under the National Agreement on Closing the Gap, the LIME program has been identified by the Department to transition to a First Nations-led organisation.

The purpose of the LIME Network grant opportunity is to support quality and effective teaching of First Nations health in medical education, to promote best practice and foster stronger relationships between key organisations.

The intended outcomes of the grant opportunity are:

• increased number of First Nations medical students enrolled in tertiary medical education
• increased number of First Nations medical graduates
• increased number of mentoring opportunities for First Nations medical students
• increased capacity of the broader medical workforce to understand and address the needs of First Nations people
• increased collaboration and relationships between Aboriginal community-controlled health organisations and specialist medical colleges

The Australian Government has a total of $2.72 million (GST Exclusive) over four years for this grant opportunity. Eligibility requirements for applying are provided in the Grant Opportunity Guidelines.

To view the grant opportunity documents, please select the red "Grant Opportunity Documents" button on the left-hand side.

Applications from consortia are acceptable, providing there is a lead organisation that is solely accountable to the Commonwealth for the delivery of grant activities and is an eligible entity. Only the lead organisation can submit the application form and enter into a grant agreement with the Commonwealth. The lead organisation must be First Nations-led (see definition below).

Eligible organisations can form a consortium with ineligible organisations, with the exception of those organisations deemed ineligible because they are included on the National Redress Scheme’s website on the list of ‘Institutions that have not joined or signified their intent to join the Scheme’.

For the purposes of this Grant Opportunity, the definition of First Nations led organisation aligns with Chapter 12 in the National Agreement on Closing the Gap, that outlines what Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations (other than an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-controlled organisation) are:

• a business, charity, not-for-profit organisation, incorporated under Commonwealth, state or territory legislation, that has at least 51% Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander ownership and/or directorship and is operated for the benefit of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities . 

Further details on eligibility requirements can be found in Section 4 of the Grant Opportunity Guidelines.
