A new round of community sport grants have opened up, and there is a chance for more women and girls in Brimbank from all backgrounds to get involved in the sport they love.

Applications for the state government’s 2023-24 Change Our Game Community Activation Grants program have now opened.

Grants of up to $10,000 are available to support community sport and recreation clubs or organisations to increase participation, build capability, promote gender equity and support the professional development of women volunteering and working in community sport.

In this round of the program there is also a strong focus on supporting club or organisation initiatives that encourage the equitable inclusion of women and girls from all backgrounds and experiences.

The program is part of the state government’s Change Our Game initiative, working to make sport more accessible, increasing local participation and providing opportunities for all Victorians to be leaders in their local sporting community.

Community Sport Minister Ros Spence said the Change Our Game Community Activation Grants program is a “fantastic opportunity” for community sport and recreation clubs to take positive steps towards making community sport more accessible and inclusive for everyone.

Applications for the program close at 5pm on Monday, March 4.
