Paediatric Priority Funding 2021-24

​​​The PDF Paediatric Priority Funding Strategy was determined following stakeholder consultation, and is aligned with recommendation 29 of the Henry Review.​

​Local health districts and specialty health networks were invited to apply for funding to initiate, progress or scale a project focused on care navigation and integration for children and young people with complex needs.

Funding was provided for four projects during FY2021-24. Total funding for the four successful projects for FY2021-24 is over $2.6million.
