Clinic Extension Grants

Clinic Extension Grants are offered to support services to provide extra screening during PapScreen advertising campaigns. The grants enable existing providers of Pap test clinics to:

• Extend clinic hours; or
  
  
• Support outreach clinics to reach women who are unscreened or underscreened due to social or geographical isolation.

Requirements

• Non-recurrent grants of up to $2,500 (+GST) are available.
  
  
• Only Victorian-based organisations may apply.
  
  
• A minimum of two Pap test clinics or outreach clinics must be implemented or supported.
  
  
• Successful applicants will be required to seek advertising and editorial coverage in local media (print, online, radio or TV) profiling their extended clinic times and PapScreen Victoria key messages. A media kit will be mailed to you and made available on the PapScreen Victoria website to assist with this.
  
  
• Organisations should provide some financial or in kind commitment to the project, for example nurse salary and administration support.
  
  
• PapScreen Victoria would request that extra clinics run using grant money are made available to women free of charge.

Timelines

• Applications open 1 June
• Applications close 30 June
