The grants will be available across all areas of NSW. Sporting bodies can deliver projects that support the general population or specific priority population groups including Aboriginal people, LGBTQI+ people, cultural and linguistically diverse (CALD) people and individuals with coexisting Alcohol and Other Drugs and mental health issues.

Funding can be used to:
• expand an existing mental health, resilience or wellbeing project
