Club Capability and Growth Grant Program
The first area of consultation, as part of the Participation Landscape Review is TTA’s club grants program.
The proposed Club Capability & Growth Grant Program replaces the previous Club Equipment and Facilities Grant Program and broadens the focus beyond equipment alone.
The aim is to support practical investment that helps clubs become stronger, more capable and more sustainable.
TTA will be informed directly by Member Associations, reflecting their understanding of the needs and priorities within each jurisdiction. Member Associations will, in turn, work with their affiliated clubs to bring local experience and feedback into that process.
To complement this, clubs are also invited to provide feedback through the survey here.
These responses will provide an additional source of practical insight and, together with feedback from Member Associations, will inform refinements to the 2026 program.
The full review will help shape future programs between 2027-2030, including how future investment can better respond to different club needs across participation, capability and sustainability.
Table Tennis Australia (TTA) is pleased to announce the launch of the 2026 Club Capability & Growth Program, providing affiliated clubs and associations with access to funding of up to $2,000 per application to strengthen participation, club capability and long-term sustainability.
Formerly known as the Equipment & Facilities Grant Program, the refreshed program supports practical investment that helps clubs create welcoming, inclusive and sustainable environments where more Australians can enjoy table tennis.
The program aligns with TTA's strategic direction and the Australian Sports Commission's Play Well Strategy.
A Transitional Approach for 2026
The 2026 program represents a transitional year, retaining the core funding arrangements of the previous program while broadening the scope of eligible investments to better reflect the evolving needs of clubs.
The program maintains the previous equipment funding settings, with infrastructure and facilities projects excluded for 2026 while dedicated guidelines remain under review.
This approach provides continuity for clubs while supporting practical investment across three streams:
Equipment & Signage:
Tables, nets, barriers, training equipment, storage solutions, signage and event activation equipment.
Technology:
Competition laptops, tablets, audiovisual equipment, competition management equipment and other technology supporting club administration and participant experiences. RevSport portal fees are also eligible, including additional costs arising from Fun & Fan membership growth and associated subscription tier increases.
Safety & Accessibility:
Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), first aid equipment, protective barriers, safety signage, lighting improvements and accessibility initiatives.
Eligible affiliated clubs and associations can apply for up to $2,000 per project, with TTA contributing a maximum of 50% of the total eligible project value. Applicants must contribute at least 50% through cash and/or in-kind support.
Funding is competitive and subject to the available program budget.
2026 Program Applications Now Open
Applications for the 2026 Club Capability & Growth Program open Friday 9 October 2026 and close at 11:59pm AEDT on Sunday 25 October 2026.
Successful projects must be completed and acquitted by 11:59pm AEDT on Sunday 29 November 2026, with all funded purchases made after written grant approval and supported by receipts dated in 2026.
Applicants must meet the eligibility requirements outlined in the 2026 Program Guidelines, which also provides access to the RevSport application form. Clubs are encouraged to consult their Member Association before applying.
For enquiries, please email membership@tabletennis.org.au, copying the relevant Member Association representative into the correspondence.
TTA looks forward to supporting practical projects that strengthen affiliated clubs, recognise the contribution of volunteers and create more opportunities for Australians to participate in table tennis.
