In2Sport Brimbank, a subsidy program designed to help children living in Brimbank take part in community sport regardless of financial circumstances, is accepting priority applications from eligible residents.
First time applicants, females and people with a disability can now register their interest for the program, before general applications open on February 17.
The initiative aims to fund 75 per cent or up to $200 towards club membership fees, subject to availability.
As part of the application process, you will be asked to complete an online application form — you’ll need to upload a copy of your family’s Health Care Card or Pension Card.
It will need to list the nominated child’s name.
After you submit the application it’ll be assessed by the council and you’ll be notified of the outcome via email.
The notification process can take two to four weeks after the date of application.
If approved, present the approval letter to your nominated club when joining.
Pay the membership fee, minus the approved In2Sport Brimbank funding.
The club will send the invoice to council for the approved cost of the fees.
According to council first time applications, females and people living with a disability can apply during the entire application period, but priority will only be given during the nominated priority period.
