Get Out, Get Active Program Open

Do you have a great idea for a new initiative to increase female participation in sport and active recreation? We want to hear from you!

The Department of National Parks, Sport and Racing is providing $1 million in grant funding to local councils, and for the first time, $700,000 is available for not-for-profit community sport and recreation organisations as part of the Embracing 2018 Legacy Program for the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games.

Applications are now open for Get Out, Get Active grants of up to $40,000 to deliver enjoyable, accessible and affordable sport and active recreation activities for women and girls across Queensland.

If you think your clubs and associations may be able to participate in this great initiative jump on our website for further details. The closing date for applications is 28 April 2017.

What is Get Out, Get Active?

The Get Out, Get Active program provides funding for projects that will deliver community-based sport and recreation activities that increase opportunities for participation by women and girls who are either currently inactive, or would otherwise benefit from further participation.

Previously, Get Out, Get Active funding has been provided to councils to improve women’s and girls’ sport and active recreation opportunities. In partnership with the Office of the Commonwealth Games, Round 3 has been expanded to include a new category of not-for-profit sport and recreation organisations. This has been made available through the Embracing 2018 Legacy Program for the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games.
