Athlete Grants

To support our athletes to take advantage of every sporting opportunity available to them, we run an annual Athlete Grant Program, funded by GIO.

Our Athlete and Junior Members are eligible for grants that can be used to subsidise sport related expenses such as entry fees, equipment and transport for events in our 9 managed sports.

There are three levels of Members Grants:

Level 1: Elite - Current National Representative (up to $450)

Level 2: Emerging - Current State Representative (up to $300)

Level 3: Developing Competitor (up to $200)

Grant Applications for 2024/2025 are closed.

Applications closed at 5pm on June 13th 2024.
