Funding available through Sport and Recreation COVID SAFE Restart Plan
As part of the Queensland Government’s Return to Play initiative, assistance is available to eligible community sport, recreation and fitness organisations through a range of funding and grants.
Getting Queenslanders active is a key priority of the government, and restarting activities in stages will ensure they keep everyone safe, healthy and moving.
Support includes restart packages for:
- COVID SAFE Active Clubs Kickstart - For hygiene supplies, equipment and operational costs for COVID Safe clubs to return to sport. $2,000 for up to 7,000 clubs
- FairPlay vouchers - For young participants to participate in local sporting activities and support families experiencing hardship as a result of COVID-19.
- Active Restart Infrastructure Recovery Fund - Grants for minor capital works and support for clubs to purchase revenue generating equipment to support Return to Play.
- Active Industry Fund - Payment will be distributed to State Level Organisations ahead of schedule. This will secure the future of community sport and support the easing of restrictions.
For further information regarding grant and funding assistance see the Queensland Government website.
