To be eligible to apply you must be one of the Primary Health Networks (PHNs) listed in the Grant Opportunity Guidelines.

PHNs are invited to apply for this grant opportunity as they have been assessed to have:

• capability to deliver the project activities in the project location;
• existing infrastructure and relationships to support the project activities; and
• existing knowledge of and capability to deliver the project objectives and outcomes.

PHNs utilise consortia arrangements, local knowledge and linkages with other services in commissioning lead agencies to operate headspace services in their catchment region. The most effective method of delivering activities of this nature is to utilise the existing skills and knowledge of PHNs. This approach has been determined to provide the best value for money.
