Game on for Change - Local Impact (Small)

The Game on for Change – Preventing Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence through Sport (the Program) aims to empower all levels of the sporting sector to play a leading role in the prevention of domestic, family and sexual violence.

The Local Impact (Small) tier offers grants between $15,000 and $75,000 to support small-scale projects delivered at the local level. This tier is designed, but not limited to, projects that make change at the local level, generally working with one club or organisation.

Purpose

• The Program aims to empower all levels of the sporting sector to play a leading role in the prevention of domestic, family and sexual violence.
• Through the Program, the Office of Sport is building the capacity and capability of the sector to address the gendered drivers of domestic, family and sexual violence leading to positive change in knowledge, skills, values and behaviours. 

Key Objectives

• Identifying and scaling up evidence-based prevention initiatives, whilst testing and evaluating new approaches to build the evidence base and foster safe, respectful and inclusive environments.
• Establishing and/or strengthening partnerships between the sport and primary prevention sectors to build shared capacity, align efforts, and embed prevention practices across sporting environments.
• Ensuring prevention initiatives in sport are inclusive and responsive to diverse lived experiences, recognising how intersecting identities influence participation, safety and access to support.
