Hardship

The Hardship program has been established under the Community Support Program to provide financial assistance to families, communities, and individuals to ensure there are no barriers to participate in Netball.  

Applicants applying for funding are members struggling through hard times and who require financial assistance to continue to participate in our sport.

Applicants will be assessed on all information provided, and a request may be made to provide more evidence/clarification on your situation. Every application must contain true and accurate information. 

Please note, a support letter from your Club, Association or League is required to confirm how you are currently experiencing hardship. 

If applying for membership or club fees, applicants must submit either an invoice for outstanding membership or club fees, or proof of payment where membership or club fees have already been paid. 

Applications will be assessed by the Netball Victoria grant assessment panel.  Approvals will also be subject to an annual budget until the funds are exhausted. 

Your information is kept in accordance with our privacy policy which can be found on our website Privacy Policy | Netball Victoria
