The Department of Creative Industries, Tourism and Sport's (CITS) vision is to make Western Australia a world-class arts, cultural, sport and Aboriginal tourist destination. CITS aims to continue to increase the number of people visiting Western Australia from interstate and overseas so they can experience our unique arts, cultural, sport and Aboriginal attractions.

The following organisations are eligible to apply: 

• recognised national sporting organisations (NSOs) and organisations for people with disability (NSODs)
• CITS recognised State sporting associations (SSAs), State active recreation organisations (SAROs) and peak bodies
• local government authorities (LGAs)
• regional and local sport and active recreation clubs and associations, affiliated with a recognised governing body
• community sport and active recreation organisations.

In addition, to be eligible for funding organisations must: 

• be incorporated under the Associations Incorporations Act 2015 (WA) or a company limited by guarantee under the Corporations Act 2001 (Commonwealth) or a registered local government entity in Western Australia
• possess an Australian Business Number (ABN)
• maintain appropriate and sufficient insurance cover for the duration of the grant period. Please note, for Public Liability Insurance, a minimum value of $10 million per claim or occurrence giving rise to a claim is required.

In addition, the following will apply: 

• Provide written evidence that the relevant state, national or international body is supportive of the event being conducted in WA and confirming that the event is the pinnacle event for the sport, age group or discipline. For mass participation events, a letter of support is still recommended. This may be provided by the governing body of the activity or the local government where the event is taking place. 
• Organisations with outstanding acquittals for any CITS grant may have payments withheld until outstanding acquittal documentation is satisfactorily completed.
