Grantful Case Studies
$15m+ in Aged Care Primary Health Network Grants
The Challenge
A high-performing aged care provider was frequently invited to apply for local Primary Health Network (PHN) funding but kept losing the competitive tenders, leaving their leadership baffled. Their internal approach was scattered, with different program delivery staff answering questions in isolation, resulting in duplicated, unsubstantiated claims despite having the data to prove their success.
The Solution
Grantful diagnosed the core issue: a disconnect between their strong operational performance and their ability to articulate it in a way that satisfies asse ssors. We implemented a structured, end-to-end process for designing and drafting responses, ensuring every claim was backed by evidence and aligned directly with the scoring criteria.
The Outcome
The turnaround was immediate and significant. Of the next nine applications submitted using this structured approach, the organisation won seven. This secured over $15 million in funding across critical aged care programs—including Care Finders, Home Care Packages, and Commonwealth Home Support—and enabled expansion into new regions and new primary health care providers.
The cumulative impact of sustained, structured grant and tender strategy has been transformational. Since engaging Grantful, the organisation's annual income has grown from $9.4 million to in excess of $30 million.
