Sporting Schools funding is available for remote schools to deliver sport activities before, during or after school hours using one of our national sporting organisation (NSO) partners or another sport or physical activity that better suits your school in line with the Grant Guidelines, Parameters, Spending Fact Sheet and terms and conditions.
To be eligible to apply for a Remote Sporting Schools grant, a school must:
• be registered with the state registration authority as a primary, secondary, combined, or special school, from Prep to Year 12
• be located in remote and very remote area of your school's state (as per ARIA+ categorisation)
• have an Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) ID listed on the Australian Schools List website
• be registered with Sporting Schools (this can be done during the application period)
• provide valid bank details (name, account name, BSB and account number). Note, account details can refer to the registered school’s general account or a department of education account in the event of a shared service arrangement (such as those currently in place for WA Department of Education schools).
• have no outstanding acquittal reporting for the 2024 and 2025 Remote Sporting Schools programs
• have no outstanding debts with the ASC, whether in relation to Sporting Schools or otherwise
• not be an organisation named by the National Redress Scheme for Institutional Child Sexual Abuse on its list of Institutions that have not joined or signified their intent to join the Scheme.
Schools are required to adhere to Sporting Schools terms and conditions to receive a grant, including child safe policies.
