Programs and Equipment Grants

You can apply for up to $5,000 for a Programs and Equipment Grant; for costs associated with conducting programs to develop or improve the service the Club provides and/or the cost of consumable equipment, uniforms or ground maintenance equipment.

If you are successful, the entire grant cannot be used to cover the following project costs:

• Costs incurred before 1 July 2019 are not considered eligible.
• Operating costs, such as ongoing venue lease or hire fees, utilities, grant administration costs, office costs, rent expenses or insurance costs
• Purchasing of prizes, trophies, motor vehicles, white goods (such as refrigerators, freezers and dishwashers), furniture and covering food and catering costs, are also ineligible
• Facility projects or capital works are not eligible under program and equipment funding. Please note this includes any items that are fixed or are considered a permanent fixture. Examples may include pop up irrigation, surface upgrades, shade sails, building storage sheds, installing light towers etc.
• Travel and accommodation costs NOT associated with professional development. For example, ORSR will fund coaches / officials / volunteers to travel to gain accreditation or to undertake training. ORSR will not fund clubs to send teams / individuals to participate in competitions.
• Funding under this category cannot be used for playing, coaching, instructing or honorarium wages (e.g. paid coaches).

A Funding Assessment Committee assesses all eligible applications, with the following principles used to prioritise applications;

• when an applicant last received funding through for a Programs and Equipment Grant through the Active Club Program
• whether an applicant is affiliated with their Peak Body
• whether an applicant has registered with or completed STARCLUB, check the club's STARCLUB Status here.

Please note, satisfying the principles alone does not guarantee the receipt of funding. In addition, it is anticipated that the number of eligible applications and funds sought will exceed the funds available and therefore the Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing does not guarantee applications will be successful nor that successful applications will receive the full amount of funding requested.

STEP 1 – Application Screening

The Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing conducts a preliminary assessment of all applications to check that;

• the applicant organisation is eligible to apply, and
• the application has been completed in full, and all essential information has been provided.

Incomplete applications may be deemed ineligible.

STEP 2 – Assessment against principles

If the application passes screening, a Funding Assessment Committee assesses all eligible applications, with the following principles used to prioritise applications;

• when an applicant last received funding through for a Programs and Equipment Grant through the Active Club Program
• whether an applicant is affiliated with their Peak Body
• whether an applicant has registered with or completed STARCLUB

Please note, satisfying the principles alone does not guarantee the receipt of funding. In addition, it is anticipated that the number of eligible applications and funds sought will exceed the funds available and therefore the Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing does not guarantee applications will be successful nor that successful applications will receive the full amount of funding requested.

STEP 3 - Recommendations

Once assessment is completed, funding recommendations are forwarded to the Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing for consideration.  All organisations will be notified in writing of the outcome of their application.
