2027 National Integrity Capability Enhancement Grant Program

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The Australian Sports Commission (ASC), in partnership with Sport Integrity Australia (SIA), invites eligible organisations to apply for funding through the 2027 National Integrity Capability Enhancement (NICE) Grant Program.

The 2027 NICE Program provides funding to support eligible organisations to strengthen sport integrity capability by implementing, maintaining and embedding the National Integrity Framework (NIF) across all levels of their sport. The Program aims to strengthen the capacity of organisations to identify, prevent and respond to integrity threats, while fostering safe, fair and inclusive sporting environments.

The Program supports activities that build integrity capability, strengthen governance and leadership, increase integrity awareness and education, and support the long-term sustainability of integrity functions within participating organisations.

The ASC will administer the Program in consultation with Sport Integrity Australia. In addition to grant funding, Sport Integrity Australia will continue to support organisations through integrity resources, education, training, guidance materials and engagement opportunities that assist organisations to implement and embed the National Integrity Framework.
