Veterans' Health and Wellbeing Research Grants Program

The Queensland Government committed $500,000 in funding to establish the Veterans’ Health and Wellbeing Research Grants Program to support research to identify new and better ways to strengthen and foster veterans’ health and wellbeing.

Grant funding up to $150,000 (ex GST) has been provided to four organisations to undertake a five new research projects or to expand the scope of an existing research project to improve understanding of issues impacting on veterans’ health and wellbeing.

The proposed research projects were required to add to existing understanding of veterans’ health and wellbeing, in areas including:

  • veteran suicide and mental health issues
  • drug and alcohol use
  • prevention, treatment, rehabilitation and intervention for veterans’ health issues (e.g. management of service-related chronic pain)
  • promotion of veteran resilience
  • support for transition from the Australian Defence Force (ADF)
  • impacts of ADF service on veterans’ partners and family members.
