VicHealth’s Active Club Grants recognise the important role local clubs/organisations play in increasing physical activity and helping communities stay connected.
To create greater opportunities for sporting clubs to access Active Club Grants, VicHealth will run two rounds of funding, the first round opening 15 September and closing 10 October 2014, and opening again in January 2015.
Grants of up to $3,000 are on offer to community sport and active recreation clubs across Victoria to assist with the purchase of:
• sports injury prevention and management equipment
• essential sporting equipment/items
Priority will be given to applications from clubs/organisations who can demonstrate that an Active Club Grant will increase opportunities for regular physical activity in their community.
The program guidelines, application form and a promotional video are available on the 
VicHealth Active Club Grants website.
All sporting clubs and active recreation organisations across Victoria are encouraged to apply.
Clubs who do not hold an incorporated status can apply but must include written consent through an auspice agreement with a State Sporting Association.
