To be eligible for SSRDP funding, applicants must meet the requirements of one of the following organisation classifications:

• State Sporting Organisation
• State Active Recreation Organisation
• Industry Support Organisation
• National Sporting Organisation operating under a one management or unitary structure.

Please note further information is available in the guidelines associated with the current round.

The following organisations will be considered ineligible for SSRDP funding:

• Organisations with a three-year average annual financial turnover greater than $10 million (minus government grants). Note that the annual financial turnover of National Sporting Organisations operating under a one management or unitary structure will be based on the annual financial turnover of the South Australian branch.
• State Sporting Organisations, State Active Recreation Organisations, and Industry Support Organisations that have been operating for less than three years.
• For profit, private organisations.
• An organisation that has overdue ORSR grant acquittals as at the application closing date of the program. However, applications may be considered by the ORSR if these overdue acquittals have been submitted prior to the date when the final grant recommendations are forwarded to the Minister for approval.

The minimum amount that an applicant will be allocated under the SSRDP is $7,500 per annum and capped at $100,000 per annum.

Financial support is provided for the leadership, policy development and services provided by South Australian State Sport and Recreation Organisations, Industry Support Organisations and National Sport Organisations operating under a one management or unitary structure.

The financial support will ensure a sustainable and thriving sector, capable of providing a diversity of physical activity opportunities for South Australians.

Eligible applicants will be assessed based on their previous three-year annual financial turnover (minus Government grants and revenue derived from gambling) and membership.

The assessment will also take into consideration the following factors:

• Applicant’s proven capacity to administer and deliver programs/projects;
• Strategic objectives of the Government and ORSR.
