$5000 relief payments available: Community Sport Emergency Flood Assistance Program

On Friday, October 21 the Victorian State Government launched the Community Sport Emergency Flood Assistance Program, to provide relief for those affected by the recent floods in Victoria.

A $5.2 million Community Sport Emergency Flood Assistance Program has been established to aid directly-affected sporting clubs across the state, helping them meet some initial upfront costs of item and equipment replacement to help communities get back out on the field as soon as possible

$5,000 one-off grants are available to assist in the replacement of items that have been lost, damaged or destroyed. The Program is now open for applications will stay open until 5pm on 13 January 2023 or until funding is exhausted.
