HPV vaccination grants

Cancer Council Victoria is pleased to announce a new grants program as part of its Cervical Cancer Elimination Strategy.

Up to 5 grants of up to $15,000 ex GST will be awarded to selected Victorian immunisation providers to support initiatives that increase HPV vaccination access uptake among culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) Victorians aged 12 to 25.

 

About the grants

These grants form part of Cancer Council Victoria’s Cervical Cancer Elimination Strategy, which aims to support equitable progress towards eliminating cervical cancer as a public health problem.

Funded activities should focus on improving access to HPV vaccination through culturally and linguistically appropriate approaches, including outreach, engagement, and service delivery models that respond to the needs of CALD communities.
