The Health Promotion Grant (HPG) is provided by the Health Promotion Program Team to fund activities and programs throughout the University of Melbourne that address the health and wellbeing of students.
Objectives of the Health Promotion Grant:
- Increase health and well-being opportunities for students;
- Inform, promote, and support the engagement of positive health behaviours and practices among students;
- Increase awareness of support services available and reduce barriers to access (such as stigma around help-seeking), so students utilise services and make informed choices;
- Create sustainable and health-promoting environments that optimise social connection and belonging;
- Engage with a range of student cohorts in various settings to increase reach and address issues affecting diverse and vulnerable groups, taking greater account of intersectional factors;
- Promote the integration of health and well-being within the university’s plans and policies.
