Apply for Sports Club Solar & Energy Upgrade Funding

    Outdoor community sports club facility with solar panels installed on clubhouse roof representing the Game On grant program.

    Community sports clubs across Australia now have an opportunity to access federal funding through the Game On: Teaming Up for Climate Action program. The initiative offers grants ranging from $25,000 to $100,000 to help clubs reduce energy costs, improve sustainability, and strengthen facilities against climate-related challenges. Eligible upgrades include solar panel systems, battery storage, LED lighting, HVAC improvements, drainage upgrades, EV charging infrastructure, and other energy-efficient facility improvements.

    For many clubs, rising electricity bills and ageing infrastructure have become major financial pressures. This funding program gives sporting organisations a chance to modernise their facilities while creating long-term savings that can be reinvested into players, community programs, equipment, and future development. The program also focuses on helping clubs become more climate resilient through practical sustainability upgrades and cleaner energy solutions.

    Applications are assessed based on energy efficiency impact, climate resilience outcomes, and community benefit. Clubs must provide supporting documents, project details, quotations, and evidence of affiliation with recognised sporting organisations. Since the application process includes multiple compliance and assessment requirements, preparing a strong submission is essential to improving the chances of approval.

    At Australian Centre for Energy, we help community sports clubs understand their eligibility, identify suitable upgrade opportunities, prepare required documentation, and submit grant applications aligned with the program guidelines. Whether your club is planning solar installation, lighting upgrades, HVAC improvements, or climate resilience projects, our team can support you throughout the entire application process.
