The Victorian Government's Community Sport Sector COVID-19 Short-term Survival Package provides grants to support the operational viability of community sport and active recreation organisations impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The program has two streams: Stream 1 for State Sporting Associations, State Sport and Recreation Bodies, Regional Academies of Sport, and Regional Sports Assemblies, and Stream 2 for associations, leagues, and community sport and active recreation organisations and clubs. Eligible organisations can apply for funding to support operational expenses, with Stream 1 prioritising support to organisations demonstrating loss of revenue, drawdown of cash reserves, and ineligibility for other stimulus packages. Stream 2 provides support to associations, leagues, and community organisations to support operational viability, with funding amounts ranging from $500 to $2,000. Applications are accepted through the DJPR Online Grants portal, with eligibility criteria including recognition as a State Sporting Association or peak body, non-government, not-for-profit status, and registration as an incorporated body or company limited by guarantee.
