About Grants Program

Grants are offered each year and are tailored to meet the diverse needs of children and teenagers aged 7-17 years to ensure relevancy in their sporting pathway. Each year our grants include a Pathway to Paralympic Grant, a Sporting Club grant (sporting clubs providing programs), a kick start grant for the 7-13 years and an equipment grant for the 13-17 year age group. Applications open each year between March and April, and close between July to August. Announcement of grants are made in November each year. Recipients awarded a grant can use their funds for:

the costs of travelling to and from sporting events and training;

the costs of participating in sporting events including participation, entry or enrolment fees;

the purchase of specialist sport equipment or clothing;

the purchase of protective or adaptive equipment; and

the costs of consulting with health professionals to develop an appropriate sporting program for that child;

engage and coordinate with other institutions to provide that child with support and access to appropriate sporting programs, sporting activities and other resources to help them achieve their sporting goals (particularly in their local communities); and

to solicit donations, gifts, bequests and other forms of financial assistance to further, or for the benefit of, these objects (including by conducting fundraising initiatives); and

all matters incidental to and ancillary to the above mentioned objects (including in relation to generating alternate revenue sources through social enterprise and commercial activity).
