CCIQ Chamber Wellness Fund

The Chamber Wellness Fund (the Fund) was developed by the Queensland Government in partnership with the Chamber of Commerce and Industry Queensland, and is part of the broader Small Business Wellness Package (the Package). The Package is part of the Queensland Government’s $14.5 billion economic recovery plan to keep businesses open and Queenslanders in jobs. The Package aims to support the mental health and wellness of Queensland small business owners and operators and promote available support services.

The Fund is available to Queensland chambers of commerce to help build awareness of services and to upskill chambers and their members to support business owners.

Chambers can apply to the Fund for grants to develop and implement local mental health and wellness initiatives that are tailored to small business owners and operators in their community. This can include initiatives for chamber members to strengthen their confidence and capability to start conversations about mental health and wellbeing with their staff or family members and other business owners.
