Community Recreation Grants Program

Most grants are in the range of $500 and $50 000, and are made to clubs, associations, local government, private companies and registered charities.  Projects must address barriers to participation in sport and recreation.  Barriers can include, but are not limited to, such things as gender, age, disability, isolation, health issues, cultural or linguistic diversity, and socio-economic circumstances.

The Community Recreation Grants Program is continuous and applications will be accepted at any time until 30 April 2009.  Applicants will be advised of outcomes within three months of lodging their application.
