Round 2 of the 2022-23 Aboriginal Sport Participation Grant is now open!

10 Mar Round 2 of the 2022-23 Aboriginal Sport Participation Grant is now open!

With sport now back in full swing after a challenging couple of years, we are proud to deliver another year of sport and active recreation support for the community through the Aboriginal Sport Participation Grant Program.

It’s all about backing even more to Aboriginal Victorians as they fulfill their sport aspirations and get back out into the community, having a yarn, getting active and spreading laughter.

So far over $280,000 has been distributed into the Victorian Aboriginal Sporting Community since the release of the Aboriginal Sport Participation Grant Program in 2020.
