How clubs can get help
Through the new Community Sport Flood Recovery program, clubs and associations will be able to receive help in getting back to playing sport as quickly as possible.
It is important that, in such a difficult time, club volunteers can have access to the information they need to assist with the recovery process.
When clubs are ready to return to sport, you will be able to receive support from our friendly, knowledgeable and supportive team. Our team consist of members of our Member Regional Sports Assemblies, based across regional Victoria and understanding of the challenges you face in resuming sport.
We’re ready to support you with queries on completing the clean-up, resuming competitions, grant opportunities and so much more.
