Local Sporting Champions Round 2 - 2024/25

Submissions closed at midnight 31 October 2024 (AEDT).

IMPORTANT: Please read information below to assist you in completing your application online.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Welcome to the Australian Sports Commission's online grant application portal, powered by SmartyGrants.

NAVIGATING THROUGH THE APPLICATION FORM

The Form Navigation contents box (on the left of the screen) links directly to every page of the application.

It is recommended that you click Save Progress when you are filling out a form - for security reasons you will be logged out of the system if 60 minutes has elapsed and you have not saved your progress or navigated between pages.

Questions with a red asterisk* are required fields. Although you can continue to navigate through the pages and complete other questions, you won't be able to submit the form until you have returned to all of the required fields and provided answers.

SAVING YOUR DRAFT APPLICATION

If you wish to leave the application process prior to submitting your form, press ‘save progress’ and log out. When you log back in and click on the 'My Submissions' link at the top of the screen, you will see any applications you have started or submitted. You can reopen your draft application and continue where you left off.

You can also download your application, whether draft or completed, as a PDF. Click on the 'Download' button located at the bottom of the last page of the application form.

ATTACHMENTS AND SUPPORT DOCUMENTS

You may need to upload supporting documentation with your application. 

You need to allow enough time for each file to upload before trying to attach another file. Files can be up to 25MB each; however, we do recommend trying to keep files to a maximum of 5MB – the larger the file, the longer the upload time.

SUBMITTING YOUR APPLICATION

You will find a Review and Submit button at the bottom of the navigation panel. You need to review your application before you can submit it.

Once you have submitted your application, no further editing or uploading of supporting documentation is possible.

You will then receive an automated confirmation email with a copy of your submitted application attached. This will be sent to the email address you used to register.

If you do not receive an automated confirmation email then you should presume that your application has NOT been submitted.

Hint: also check the email hasn’t landed in your spam or junk email folder.
