It is a model for precisely the kind of program which was intended to be supported by both arts and health funding as agreed by both arms of state government in the Arts and Health agreement 2008. If it doesn't fit in existing funding categories then this shows a serious oversight in policy and program design - an appropriate category should be introduced to accommodate the very valuable contribution such initiatives make to the community including budget savings by keeping people out of hospital!!

It has been a project the has also work in partnership with the Health department which has provided part of the funding.
