Curtin's up for girls in sport (20 Apr 2024)

Western suburb girls' and women's sporting clubs have until midday on April 29 to apply for Play Our Way program grants. Up to $200million is being spent on the program by the federal government to boost women's and girls' sports nationally. Funding can be sought for new or upgraded facilities or to improve participation and equipment. "With the rising popularity of AFLW, Big Bash League and of course the Matildas, Curtin has seen a surge in women and girls registering for sports like these," Curtin MP Kate Chaney said. "This is a pivotal moment for sporting clubs across the electorate to ensure the future sustainability of their women's and girls' teams through new or upgraded facilities, and improved programs and equipment. I encourage all sports teams to apply." To find out more about Play Our Way Grants, on this website head to the Helping You section and click on General Grants. This page also has a direct link to the grant application. For further help, call the office of Kate Chaney to speak to grants officer Pippa, who has been helping clubs locally to navigate the application process. The number to call is 9388 0288.
