Major Grants - Project Funding

Wishlist is happy to announce the approved funding distribution for 2025/2026 is $2.1M – this is a record-breaking amount to support our Health Service. During the remainder of 2025 Wishlist will be reviewing its funding process and will advise when major funding rounds will reopen in early 2026.  You can still apply for minor funding applications – via an Expression of Interest (over $10,000) or Minor Grants (under $10,000), with both open all year round.  The review in the funding process is expected to make the application process easier and better demonstrate the impact of Wishlist funding.

Minor Grants - Project Funding

Use this application form if your project costs will be under $10,000.
Completed applications are directed to the SCHHS Senior Director Capital, Assets and Infrastructure (SDCAI), who liaises with Wishlist on an outcome. Applications can be submitted at any time during the year, for a response within one month.
