Sport and Recreation Inclusive Participation Grants Program

Creating inclusive, accessible, safe and welcoming environments, operations and participation opportunities in sport and recreation.

The Sport and Recreation Inclusive Participation Grants Program provides financial support to organisations to create inclusive, accessible, safe and welcoming environments, operations and participation opportunities in sport and recreation settings for people from low participation groups.

This includes support to provide entry level or skill development participation opportunities, education and training opportunities for the sport and recreation workforce, including volunteers, and develop partnerships with a minimum of one other organisation.

The DLGSC is seeking applications for projects ranging from 1 to 3 years that will support participation for all in sport and recreation activities by reducing the barriers to participation for low participation groups across Western Australia.
