4270 - SUNFLOWER CENTRE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Mental Health, Minister for Healthy Lifestyles, and Minister for Western New South Wales

Why did the Newcastle based Sunflower Centre not have its Community Development Program grant rolled over following the closure of NSW Health's NGO Grant Program in July 2013?
Answer -

I am advised:

For internal reasons within the Schizophrenia Fellowship, NSW Health did not receive a 2013-14 Grant Application on this matter.

The Chief Executive of Schizophrenia Fellowship recently met with the Director of Mental Health and Drug and Alcohol Programs in the Ministry of Health.

As indicated at the 2013 Estimates Hearing for Mental Health on 12 August 2013, this matter is now being resolved.

The NSW Health NGO Grant Program has not closed. The Program is transitioning to a new contestable and transparent approach under the Partnerships for Health program.

The Parliament of New South Wales acknowledges and respects the traditional lands of all Aboriginal people, and pays respects to all Elders past and present. We acknowledge the Gadigal people as the traditional custodians of the land on which the Parliament of New South Wales stands.
