Referring a Child to TeamSports4All
TeamSports4All supports children and young people experiencing financial hardship to start or continue participating in organised community sport. We work with families, community organisations, schools, and sporting partners to ensure cost is not a barrier to inclusion.
Before you submit a referral
Please ensure the following apply:
- The child is aged 5–18 and enrolled in primary or secondary school
- The child’s parent or guardian holds a current Health Care Card (HCC), Low Income Health Care Card (LIC/LI), or Pensioner Concession Card (PCC) and the child is named on the card or resides in and is financially dependent on that household.
- The child needs financial support to start organised community club sport, or is at risk of stopping due to ongoing financial hardship
- A parent or carer is aware of the referral and open to being contacted
- The household has capacity to support the child’s participation in a community club
Our approach to sport participation
TeamSports4All focuses on supporting children to participate in structured, community-based team sport, where they can build connection, routine and a sense of belonging.
Our priority is to support:
• children who have never participated in organised sport
• children who have stopped participating due to financial hardship
We do not provide general subsidies or fund participation where financial hardship is not a clear barrier.
What to expect
• Referrals are assessed based on eligibility, local availability and funding
• Referrals that do not meet these criteria are unlikely to be progressed
• Submission of a referral does not guarantee support

Foundational Supporter
As we grow we need financial support which is recurring. Our Foundational Supporters commit to an ongoing level of financial support each year. Each new child we support in any given year needs funding the following year, and the following year…
Local support
Our philosophy is all about local residents helping their own community. Our local heros are businesses or individuals who choose to financially support a local region.
Every little bit helps, whether you donate $5 or $5000 our goal is to make a positive healthy change to the lives of as many kids as possible and to expand into other areas in Victoria and then Australia.
