Emergency Grant: Sporting and Recreational Equipment

The Emergency Grant: Sporting and Recreational Equipment Program helps local sport and active recreation clubs and organisations replace essential sports equipment that has been lost or destroyed as a consequence of unpreventable and exceptional events such as fire, flood, significant storms, theft or criminal damage.

Grants are available towards the replacement cost of essential equipment owned by the club or organisation.

Essential equipment is:

• equipment that is required for ongoing participation in an activity that is transferable to other participants and remains the property of the club/organisation (for example, bats, match balls, helmets, equestrian jumps, racquets, gymnastic mats, team equipment kits, gloves and badminton nets)
• injury prevention equipment that is transferable (for example, goal post padding, batting pads, gloves, goalie gear, helmets, catcher’s gear)
• first aid equipment which is necessary for immediate attention to injury that may occur during participation in sport or recreation.
