The program gives small remote, rural and regional communities across Australia the opportunity to fund projects with a clear focus on mental health, social/ emotional health and wellbeing. 

This year, the In a Good Place program will offer grants of up to $20,000, from a funding pool of at least $290,000.

There are two streams of funding available: 

• Community wellbeing for projects focussing on general mental health and wellbeing within remote, rural and regional communities. 
• Farmers and farming communities for projects specifically supporting mental health and wellbeing of farmers and the communities they live in. Note: Farming communities refers to remote, rural and regional communities with a high economic dependency on agriculture and related industries
