The Healthy Club sponsorship program provides an incentive for sporting clubs to identify and address a range of issues that have the potential to enhance the wellbeing of their members and supporters.

The funding can be used to implement a number of different initiatives including:

Safety initiatives – First aid equipment, padding and safety equipment, or injury prevention courses;

Health initiatives – Shade structures, sunscreen, water bottles, hats, drugs in sport workshop, education sessions for members;

Education/training initiatives – Coaching education courses, referee and umpiring courses, finance/administration resources; and

Participation initiatives – Equipment to encourage participation by people with disabilities and advertising costs for local newspapers to attract new members.

In return for sponsorship, clubs are required to develop a Healthy Club Policy to address smoking, sport safety, sun protection, alcohol and other drugs, and healthy catering.

Sponsorships of up to $2,500 are offered to incorporated sporting clubs competing in a recognised competition over the 2010/11 period.
