Sports Central in partnership with Regional Sport Victoria are currently undertaking a research project aimed at highlighting the needs and trends of people with a disability in relation to community sport and active recreation.
The Access All Abilities (AAA) Needs Analysis and Mapping Project will inform the development of future participation opportunities and initiatives for people with a disability within the Central Highlands and across the state.
Sport and Recreation Victoria have launched the first round of the Aboriginal Sport Participation Grant Program. The grants provide assistance to Aboriginal Victorians to participate in Aboriginal sporting carnivals, buy sports uniforms and equipment, as well as funding for travel and accommodation expenses for athletes to compete in state and national competitions.
The Australian Sports Commission’s Local Sporting Champions program are now open, providing financial assistance for coaches, officials and competitors aged 12-18 participating in state, national or international championships.
