The 2024/25 Project Support Program (‘the Program’) has been created to administer projects that have been identified by the NSW Government and that fall within the portfolio of the Minister for Sport.
Program objective
The key objectives of the Program align to the Office of Sport Strategic Plan and include:
- Participation: improve participation in sport and active recreation, including under-represented or marginalised groups such as women and girls, people with disability, First Nations peoples, people from culturally and linguistically diverse communities, LGBTQIA+ people and those experiencing hardship, by catering to their diverse needs.
- Partnerships and Investment: Increase recognition of sport and active recreation as an important contributor to government priorities. Support events that celebrate the achievements of a grassroots sport and active recreation club and/or association and its volunteers and participants.
- Sector Sustainability: Increase the organisational health of the sport sector.
This program is administered by Department of Creative Industries, Tourism, Hospitality and Sport.
