Emerging Priorities Program

The intended outcomes for the EPP are:

• improved educational outcomes for school students
• improved engagement of school students and their families with school education
• improved wellbeing of school leaders, teachers, and school students.

The continuing impacts of COVID-19 on schools and students have been immensely challenging. Recognising these impacts, the EPP Open Competitive Grant Opportunity was conducted in early 2022 to fund on-the-ground support for schools.

The Department of Education received very strong interest in the Grant Opportunity and successful applications were of a very high standard. Following the conclusion of the Grant Opportunity, 34 providers were selected to deliver projects under the EPP.
