About the disability self help grants program 2026-2028
The Disability self help grants program provides grants to Victorian disability self help groups.
Self help groups provide peer support for people with disability and their families and carers.
The Victorian Government recognises that disability self help and peer support groups have an important role. They boost social connection, mental health and wellbeing.
This grant program supports activities that:
- bring people with disability and their families together to share experiences
- provide mutual support
- foster community connections
- promote positive community attitudes and build disability pride.
Grants help strengthen the operation of the self help groups, including:
- administration costs
- communications
- activities.
