The NSW Government has announced that NSW shooting organisations can share in $800,000 of funding following the opening of the Safe Shooting Program.
Eligible projects include improvements to storage, security and safety, as well as new equipment, such as electronic targets.
A key focus of the program is to boost participation among underrepresented groups, including women and girls, physically impaired people, First Nations peoples, people from culturally and linguistically diverse communities, and LGBTQIA+ people.
Individual shooting clubs, shooting ranges and shooting organisations can apply for grants, which range from $10,000 to $50,000.
The program also supports projects which incorporate inclusive design, improved safety, environmental sustainability and climate resiliency.
The funding is part of the Minns Labor Government's continued commitment to supporting community organisations and uplifting grassroots sports facilities across the state, to ensure more people can access opportunities.
Applications close Friday, 17 November 2025. For further information and to apply for a grant visit: https://www.sport.nsw.gov.au/grants/safe-shooting-program
Minister for Sport Steve Kamper said:
"The Minns Labor Government remains committed to ensuring shooting facilities across the state are safe, inclusive and accessible to all.
"The Safe Shooting Program will improve the safety and quality of NSW shooting facilities, while supporting the development of the next generation of Olympic athletes. The program also aims to increase participation by removing barriers for underrepresented groups.
"Projects that receive funding will play a key role in supporting the next generation of Olympians and ensure Australia's success at the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games."
