Purpose
Regional Flight Assistance assists with the development of sport and recreation in Regional WA. This program allows the department to offer regional people opportunities to access the latest information through training courses, best practice management and governance in sport and recreation through the provision of air travel.
Regions serviced
Regional Flight Assistance is available from most regional cities throughout the State that utilise air travel with major airline carriers.
Skywest Airlines is our airline partner for the South West, Great Southern, Goldfields and Mid West regions. Their support by supplying free air travel to the regional cities of Busselton, Albany, Geraldton, Esperance and Kalgoorlie ensures such opportunities will build the capacity of sport and recreation in these regional centres
Skippers Airlines is our airline partner for the Gascoyne region. They supply free air travel to both Carnarvon and Monkey Mia.
The Pilbara and Kimberley regions utilise an allocation through Active Regional Communities (Sports Lotteries Account) to service the regional cities of Kununurra, Broome, Karratha, Port Hedland and Carnarvon.
The regions of Peel and Wheatbelt are not serviced through Regional Flight Assistance.
Who can apply?
