The Small Projects Funding Scheme is an initiative of the Rural Pharmacy Workforce Program (RPWP).  The RPWP was established in recognition of the key role pharmacist’s play in maintaining the health of all Australians, particularly in rural and remote Australia. The objectives of the RPWP are aimed at increasing access to pharmacy services in rural and remote areas and strengthening and supporting the rural and remote pharmacy workforce in Australia.  It is funded under the Fourth Community Pharmacy Agreement between The Pharmacy Guild of Australia and The Australian Government, as represented by the Department of Health and Ageing.

The Small Project Funding Scheme is intended to support the role of community pharmacists in rural and remote communities so that innovative ideas and services can be developed and implemented. 

Projects are required to follow the following criteria: 

• demonstrate a capacity for ongoing benefits to the community after completion;
• demonstrate involvement of a pharmacist or pharmacy related organisation in the development of the proposal; and
• the applicant must be an Australian citizen.
