Archived Grant Opportunity View - GO1890

The intention of the grant opportunity is to continue funding to the 8 organisations that provide specialist counselling and related support services to those who are experiencing psychological and/or psychosocial difficulties as a result of pre-migration torture and trauma.

The PASTT Program is designed to fund a range of activities that contribute to better integrated service delivery that ensures vulnerable individuals in the target group receive the support they require.

The objectives of PASTT are to:

• provide survivors of torture and trauma with appropriate counselling and related support services;
• promote the physical health and psycho-social recovery of humanitarian entrants to Australia who have pre-migration experiences of conflict and human rights abuses, which make them vulnerable to developing mental health problems; and
• provide services tailored to the needs of clients, whether this involves short, medium or long-term support.

Suitability to receive grant funding will be assessed as per Section 5 of the grant opportunity guidelines.
