How to apply
Download an application form:
You can apply once you have attended the sporting championship. Each application must be signed by your parent or guardian, and participation at the championship confirmed by the relevant organisation. All applicants will receive written notification advising the outcome of their application.
More information is available by phoning 1300 656 191.
Financial assistance
Financial assistance of $200 per applicant is available once every 2 years. This is to help cover the cost of travel and accommodation for the championship. Applicants must use their own resources to travel to the championship, as the funding is only provided after the event. Lodging an application does not guarantee funding.
