The Chronic Conditions Prevention and Integrated Care Program (GO8398) supports improved health outcomes for people in Australia living with, or at risk of, chronic conditions by enabling early detection, prevention, and effective management. Guided by the National Strategic Framework for Chronic Conditions 2026-2035, the Program provides a strategic and competitive investment approach that ensures transparency, fairness and alignment with Government priorities.

Overview

Funding will be awarded to initiatives that demonstrate measurable impact and contribute to long-term, sustainable improvements in chronic conditions health outcomes. The objectives of the Program are:

• Health Promotion and Education
• Embedding Prevention and Early Detection
• System integrated, multidisciplinary and person centred continuity of care
• Managing Multimorbidity
• Enhanced and targeted support for health equity

Funding is prioritised under two tiers:

• Tier 1: National Collaborative Activities – Supports large-scale activities with national scope that address multiple chronic conditions and/or risk factors and meet at least two Program objectives. These initiatives foster cross-sector collaboration and use a unified approach addressing related conditions or common risk factors regardless of specific diagnoses.
