Available funding opportunities for travel

Looking for funding support? Active Tasmania administers funding through a range of grant programs including support for sporting representatives and State sport and recreation organisations to lead, administer and develop activities around Tasmania.

Check out the below funding and grant options:

Junior Travel Assistance Program supports those aged 12 to 18 to travel interstate to compete in eligible National championships.

School Sport Association Championships are eligible under the Australian Sports Commission’s Local Sporting Champions program, rather than the Junior Travel Assistance Program.

Australian Sports Commission’s Local Sporting Champions provides funding for those athletes aged 12-18 years competing in eligible State, National or International events.

Please note, some sports and activities are not recognised by the Australian Sport Commission, meaning those selected/playing are not eligible under the Australian Sports Commission’s Local Sporting Champions Program.

The Australian Sports Foundation provides a platform enabling people to make tax deductible donations to sporting projects.

The Tasmanian Institute of Sport provides support for elite athletes and coaches through scholarships and services. This includes emerging and established talented athletes who compete in Olympic, Paralympic or Commonwealth Games sports and their recognised pathways.

National Representatives Fund provides funding to assist Tasmanian athletes and coaches competing at a Junior or Open Competition level to travel with an international team competing overseas.

Sporting Competitions Access Fund is to assist 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.

Some local councils assist residents selected in State or National teams, and/or Service Clubs such as Rotary or Lions may also assist. Contact your local organisation for information.
