Sports Central has begun working with Regional Sport Victoria and seven other Regional Sports Assemblies to conduct a research project designed to better understand the position of regional sport clubs, leagues, recreation groups and associations. The project aims to gather information about the issues limiting organisations, and where our resources should be focused to support these concerns.
Moving forward, the project is critical to ensuring that funding, support services and educational resources are used efficiently and effectively to assist sporting organisations throughout regional Victoria. This will allow organisations to thrive and attract or retain players, volunteers, and members within smoothly ran competitions and leagues.
Our staff have begun calling representatives from sporting organisations within the Central Highlands to participate in a 15–20 minute conversation to gain insights and opinions on factors currently effecting our sporting sector.
If you receive a call regarding this project, we encourage you to please participate or contact the office directly on 5331 6966 to organise a consultation. Alternatively you can email info@sportscentral.org.au to participate.
The Victorian Government’s Get Active Kids Voucher Program is now open for Round 11, providing eligible children and young people with up to $200 towards sport and active recreation costs. Families can use vouchers for eligible membership and registration fees, helping reduce financial barriers and support participation in community sport.
Sports Central is partnering with VicHealth and Regional Sport Victoria to Set the Standard across the Central Highlands. The initiative connects coaches and club leaders with practical resources and subsidised anti-racism training, helping sporting clubs prevent and respond to racism while creating healthier, welcoming and culturally safe environments for everyone.
