Victorian Government's Sporting Club Grants Program

Closes June 18th


The Victorian Government is delivering more support for grassroots sports clubs and their members with new payments towards costs associated with coronavirus restrictions.

Minister for Community Sport Ros Spence today announced grants of $2,000 were available for clubs hit hard by the effects of the latest restrictions.

The grants from the Sporting Club Grants Program are available for clubs that have incurred costs that cannot be recouped after events or activities were cancelled or postponed.

Costs available to be claimed include cancellation fees for facilities, coaches and officials, as well as loss of perishable goods and booking fees.

Check to see if your club is eligible here.

Grassroots clubs and organisations are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.
