Department of Health & Ageing -Healthier Communities Coming After an Australian Government Grant

The Rudd Government announced today $4.9 Million for 12 Healthy Communities grants across Australia to tackle overweight and obesity in local communities. Part of the Healthy Communities pilot program, these communities will receive funding to run initiatives to get their communities active or participating in exercise. In addition to the Local Government Area Grants, the Healthy Communities initiative will provide National Program Grants to not-for-profit organisations to support proven and sustainable programs aimed at improving adults’ physical activity levels, healthy eating behaviours and/or weight.
