Live4Life – Information for Schools
Thank you for your interest in the Live4Life model. Unlike other mental health education programs listed on the School Mental Health Fund Menu, Live4Life is a whole-of-community approach to mental health education and suicide prevention, developed specially for rural and regional communities.
Evidence shows that health promotion programs that operate in an environment of community wellness contribute to the promotion of strong communities and positive social outcomes for young people.

Are there any additional expenses for schools?
Due to the Department of Education and Training procurement process, funds contributing to operating costs will be paid to Youth Live4Life who will then provide funds to the local community’s Lead Agency as per the funding agreement.
There is an administration fee of $500 (minimum) or 10% of the total cost (up to a maximum of $1000 per school) for Live4Life to administer the funds and undertake all the reporting requirements as set out by the Department.
Any other costs associated with the implementation of the Live4Life program, such as staff backfill, doesn’t need to go through Live4Life and can be paid towards CRT-related expenses.
Still have questions?

We look forward to working with you and your community.
