Most Local Governments provide a range of grants to sporting organisations, especially those to encourage participation.  

Motorsport Australia encourages clubs to look on their Local Government's websites for access to this information.  

If you are holding an event in another Local Government jurisdiction, you would be advised to also seek any grant opportunities within that jurisdiction also.

The Play By The Rules website has a number of resources (video, audio & written) that can assist clubs in providing information & forming their own policies relating to:-

• Member Protection
• Behaviour
• Social Media
• Alcohol
• Communication

Please note that not all the resources on the Play By The Rules website are specifically aimed at reducing risk specifically for clubs that stage programs & activities that cater to minors.  There is a benefit in viewing the website regardless of whether your club provides activities that cater to minors.

Each jurisdiction within Australia has their own legislation pertaining to child protection.

Each club is legally obligated to comply with the relevant legislation within its jurisdiction.

For clubs that do offer services & programs to minors, your club would be best advised to stay on top of the legislation relating to child protection. Should your club offer services to minors, please follow the link for your jurisdiction to see what legal obligations there are pertaining to organisations.



Should you require further information on this matter, you are advised to contact [email protected] or speak with the Motorsport Australia Integrity Officer (1300 883 959).
