Power2Pedal is back in 2023! Power2Pedal a 5-week bike riding program for children aged 5 – 12 with autism. The program will offer participants the opportunity to learn to ride a bike in an inclusive and supportive environment.

Through the new ‘Community Sport Flood Recovery’ program, regional sporting clubs will be able to receive help in getting back to playing sport as quickly as possible.

As flood affected towns across Victoria begin relief and recovery efforts, the Victorian Government is working to minimise the risks floodwaters can cause to human health, and investing to support communities, including local sporting clubs, to rebuild and recover together.

Our thoughts go out to everyone across the Central Highlands region who has been impacted by flooding. The images we see both from individuals and sporting clubs are devastating, but seeing strangers come together to help their community is heartwarming. 

Sports Central has been working with Regional Sport Victoria (RSV) to introduce the Stride into Sport campaign, aiming to boost club registrations. This campaign will actively promote sporting opportunities available over the Summer and highlight how the barriers to sport can be overcome.

Why Stride into Sport? The days are getting longer, and summer sport seasons are around the corner. It’s time to get back involved in your local club!

Does your team need new uniforms or equipment to kick off the season? The 2022 Australian Sports Foundation Active Kids Grant program is now open for volunteer-run community clubs and organisations with members aged 20 or younger.

Responsible Service of Alcohol training provides participants with the awareness and knowledge to serve alcohol responsibly. Sports Central offer local sporting clubs the opportunity to host training for their members.

JumpStart! Round 2 is all about building healthier communities. Does your organisation have a community-led idea that will help young Victorians, but need some support to help get it off the ground? Then you’re just in time because JumpStart! grants are back with $2.8 million on offer!
