IPMHA professional development grants funded 2026

IPMHA professional development grants are specifically for people working in roles as part of the integrated primary mental health and addiction (IPMHA) programme, employed as health improvement practitioners (HIPs), health coaches, or support workers in primary care and community settings.

The grants will help cover the costs for people in existing IPMHA roles to take part in learning activities that develop professional knowledge and skills, enhancing their role in delivering IPMHA services.

Priorities for the 2026 grants were learning activities that:

  • enhance practice to better provide services for Māori and Pacific people
  • build an understanding of addiction related challenges to support individuals, whānau and communities affected by addiction challenges
  • align with the values, attitudes and Real Skills of Keeping it Real | Kia Pono te Tika.
