Game On: Teaming up for climate action

The Game on: Teaming up for climate action program will deliver $35.262 million over 2 funding rounds and will run over 3 years from 2026–27 to 2028–29. The program was announced as part of the Support for the Net Zero Plan.

The program will provide support for up to 500 community sports clubs, helping them upgrade their facilities to be more climate resilient and energy efficient.

The objectives of the program are:

• support up to 500 community sports clubs to decarbonise their operations and reduce energy bills through energy efficiency, electrification and climate resilience upgrades
• increase awareness and understanding of energy efficiency, electrification and climate adaptation activities among sports club members and their communities
• support emissions abatement to contribute to Australia’s target to reduce emissions to 62-70% below 2005 levels by 2035.

Please note that the draft Grant Opportunity Guidelines have been updated since they were published on 7 April 2026.

Final Grant Opportunity Guidelines and other supporting documents will be published on GrantConnect when the grant opportunity is open for applications.

The delivery of the program will also be supported by Program Support Providers, to be engaged by the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (AusTender Reference ATM_2026_6047).
