Eligibility criteria
To be eligible to be considered for funding under the Program, an organisation must:
- be a national sporting organisation (NSO) or a national sporting organisation for people with disability (NSOD) recognised by the Australian Sports Commission (for a list of recognised organisations, please see the Australian Sports Directory)
- have adopted or committed to adopt the National Integrity Framework issued by SIA
- not be an organisation that is named by the National Redress Scheme for Institutional Child Sexual Abuse or on its list of institutions that have not joined or signified their intent to join the Scheme (www.nationalredress.gov.au).
Grant funding opportunity
Funding is available to enhance NSO/NSODs’ integrity capability and will be managed via two streams.
NSO/NSODs will be expected to enhance their integrity capability to assist with the adoption and implementation of the Framework. NSO/NSODs are also expected to ensure the role of the National Integrity Manager is established or maintained within their organisation, with responsibility for implementing the Framework and educating participants at all levels on the Framework policies.
Stream 1
Eligible NSO/NSODs funded through the National Integrity Manager grant program in 2022–23 may apply to receive funding in this stream. Existing arrangements between NSO/NSODs that share an Integrity Manager will continue unless the NSOs can demonstrate the need to vary the arrangement. Funding will be provided to further enhance the integrity capability within these organisations for the 2023–24 period with maximum grants available of $120,000 (excl GST). A funding pool of approximately $1.67 million is available for this stream of funding.
Stream 2
Eligible NSO/NSODs not previously funded through the National Integrity Manager grant program in 2022–23 may apply to receive funding in this stream. Eligible organisations may apply for funding up to a maximum of $120,000 (excl GST) to be used to assist in building the NSO/NSOD’s integrity capability and implementation of the National Integrity Framework. A funding pool of $0.33 million is available for this stream.
