Does my club qualify?

Your club likely qualifies if:

• You are a not-for-profit, community-focused sports club

• You have an ABN and an Australian bank account

• Your club is structured as a company, incorporated association, cooperative, or indigenous corporation (most registered clubs are)

• You are affiliated with a recognised state or national sporting body — for example, if you're affiliated with your state's football association, bowls federation, cricket association, netball association, or similar

• Your facilities are used to deliver sports at the grassroots community level

Your club likely does NOT qualify if:

• You are a for-profit business or private entity

• Your facility is primarily a licensed venue, RSL club, or gaming/poker machine venue: the grant explicitly excludes areas used for licensed bars and gaming machines, although other areas - such as carparks for solar car shades - may be fine

• You are an unincorporated association, sole trader, or partnership

• You have outstanding compliance issues with previous Commonwealth grants

• Your organisation is on the Workplace Gender Equality Agency non-compliant list
