New! Volunteer Learning and Development Grants

Offered in two categories – the first for 'Clubs' and the second 'State Sporting Associations' (SSAs) – the Volunteer Learning and Development Grants assist community club volunteers to access learning and development opportunities, and SSAs to develop a learning and development program. The goal? To help volunteers in their club or sport to fulfil their roles more efficiently and effectively.

The grants can be used in the following ways:

  • Provide access for volunteers within a club to external learning and development opportunities; or
  • Support a volunteer coordinator/manager to establish and deliver a 'train the trainer' learning and development program tailored to the needs of the volunteers within that club.
