Sport and Recreation Inclusive Participation Program

Creating inclusive, accessible, safe and welcoming environments, operations and participation opportunities in sport and recreation.

The Sport and Recreation Inclusive Participation Program (IPP) provides financial support to organisations to create inclusive, accessible, safe and welcoming environments, operations and participation opportunities in sport and recreation settings for people from low participation groups.

This includes support to provide entry level or skill development participation opportunities, education and training opportunities for the sport and recreation workforce, including volunteers, and develop partnerships with a minimum of one other organisation.
