The Back to Sport COVID-19 Relief Program also includes a vital $1 million Club Support program, which will provide investment directly into community clubs through a $500 subsidy available to clubs registered with KidSport.

This subsidy will provide assistance with volunteer support and engagement, the purchase of additional equipment to support vulnerable participants and enable the club environment to remain COVID safe.

Applications for this subsidy open today and close Wednesday 4 November 2020, and information on how to apply will be communicated via email directly to all KidSport clubs today.
