Applications are now open for the 2021-22 Sporting Competitions Access Fund Grants Program.
The Fund assists athletes with disability, enabling them to compete in national or international sporting competitions and allowing them to excel in their chosen sport at the highest possible level.
Grants of up to $6,000 will be available to eligible applicants, with a total of $150,000 available under the Fund.
Eligible applicants are:
* Non-Tasmanian Institute of Sport (TIS) scholarship athletes with disability for expenses incurred by themselves, their coach and/or identified carer to attend a national or international level competition; and
* Coaches and/or identified carers only of TIS scholarship athletes with disability for expenses incurred to support the athlete at the same national or international level competition.
Grants for national-level selection competitions or selection camps will also be considered, and the chosen sport must be recognised by Sport Australia.
Guidelines and application forms are available from the Communities Tasmania website: www.communities.tas.gov.au/csr
