Healthy Club Sponsorship Guidelines Summer 2010/11

Healthy Club Application form Summer 2010/11

Successful applicants can use the sponsorship to implement a range of health, safety, education and participation initiatives within their club 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
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.

There are two rounds of funding per year. Incorporated sporting clubs playing in a recognised sporting competition may apply for up to $2500 for initiatives that address health issues within the club (e.g smoking, nutrition, alcohol and injury prevention) as well as specific education and training initiatives.
