The Foundation does not fund applications seeking salaries or to complete a qualification.
In relation to research, the Foundation does not fund systematic reviews, or projects without ethics approval.

It is essential that applications follow the Foundation’s requirements for submissions as indicated in the application form below.
The Trustees will consider each case at their absolute discretion.
What we look for in applications:
The Trustees take a broad view of their mandate. In light of the Foundation’s objectives, they look for:
- Relevance: The need for the proposal to be consistent with what the Foundation is seeking to achieve
- Value: The desirability of the proposal adding materially to Australia’s knowledge and experience base
- Feasibility: Is it realistic to expect that the proposed program can be carried out and the claimed benefits achieved?
- Dissemination: The outcome of the Fellowship being communicated to a broad audience concerned with young persons’ health and wellbeing.
- Affordability: Can the proposal be undertaken within funds available to the Foundation, consistent with the Foundation supporting a range of endeavours in various fields?
- Impact: Does the proposed project have the potential to provide significant impact on the field of children and young people’s mental health, or on those with an interest in the field?
