Timeline

Grant programs often take many months to progress from the application stage all the way through to notification, please refer to each program's guidelines for an indication of timelines. The Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing can never guarantee the receipt of funding and applicants are encouraged to prepare themselves for either outcome.

Once an application form has been submitted through SmartyGrants, typically the following process occurs:

  1. Screening
  2. Assessment
  3. Recommendation
  4. Notification

Screening

The application is screened to ensure all questions have been answered, important documents are attached, and the applicant and project meets the eligibility criteria. You may be required to edit your application. Ensure you submit your completed application by the required timeframe. The Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing cannot view an application until it has been submitted.

Assessment

A Funding Assessment Committee is established and the Committee assesses all applications and makes suggested recommendations to the Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing.

Recommendation

The Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing reviews the suggested recommendations and the final recommendations are forwarded to the Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing for consideration.

Notification

Once the Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing or authorised delegate has approved the grants, all applicants are notified of the outcome.
