ACTIVE CLUB GRANT  

LOCAL sport and active recreation organisations can sometimes find it difficult to acquire funding for the essential equipment or training required to allow teams and groups to participate in physical activity. For some, this could be the only barrier to participation, and is sometimes a one-off cost.

VicHealth makes it easier for clubs by offering funding through Active Club Grants for sports injury prevention and management equipment, essential sporting equipment, volunteer and club training, and portable sun shade.  

 

Grants of up to $2,500 per application are available for:  

 

- Sports injury prevention and management equipment
- Essential sporting equipment/items
- Volunteer and club training
- Portable sun shade  

 

Key Dates

Applications open: Monday, October 31, 2011
Deadline for submission of applications: 4pm, Thursday 8 December 2011
Successful applicants notified: Early March 2012

LEVEL 1 OFFICIALS ACCREDITATION  AVAILABLE  

LEVEL 1 Officials Accreditation had previously only been used for flag marshals, however it is now being used to accredit lower-level officials who will be able to run practice days and club days, without having to attend a day-long course and secure a Level 2 accreditation.  

 

This will greatly assist clubs with running events and regular practice days throughout a long season and better reflects the levels of accreditation as set out in Chapter 9 of the General Competition Rulebook.  

 

Click here to find out more on the Level 1 Officials Accreditation process.   

 

Once applicants have completed an application and assessment form, they will need to send this into the MV Office to be marked and processed, and may take up to two weeks.

All Level 1 applicants who wish to apply as Clerk of Course in their specific disciplines will need to complete a WWC check (Working With Children Check), and a reminder to all officials that Level 2 is the lowest level of accreditation for a Steward and all officials who apply for Clerk of Course or Steward at any level need to complete WWC checks. Application forms can be found at your local Australia Post Outlet or can be sent to you by MV upon request.    

 

MV feels this system will make it easier for clubs to have accredited officials, and assist clubs with being able to run events, as the number of officials will increase.
