Local Area Priorities

The ClubGrants Guidelines state Category 1 expenditure is for projects and/or services that contribute to the welfare and broader social fabric of the local community, and are aimed at improving the living standards of low income and disadvantaged people.

Applications that aim to reduce social disadvantage and have an early intervention focus will generally be ranked highly by the local ClubGrants assessment panel; as well as programs and projects that address the following needs or service gaps:

  • Reducing social isolation and increasing community connectedness
  • Supporting and promoting mental health, healthy lifestyles and wellbeing
  • Enhancing employment outcomes, particularly for those that experience barriers to participation in the workforce.
  • Affordable housing initiatives and supporting tenants
  • Increase the liveability of neighbourhoods and place-based connectedness eg neighbourhood and youth drop-in centres or creative arts/cultural initiatives.
  • Preventing domestic violence
  • Increasing community safety and preventing crime eg addressing drug and alcohol related issues
  • Ensuring public safety (eg water/surf safety, fires, crime)
  • Raising awareness and providing community education on a range of important social issues

Generally support the following groups:

  • Children (0-11yrs)
  • Youth (12-24yrs)
