Clubs can be awarded a share of $700,000 thanks to the Transport Accident Commission’s Club Rewards Program.
This year’s program aims to empower clubs to develop a culture where all players and members consider road safety before getting behind the wheel.
Now in its sixth year, the TAC Club Rewards Program allows AFL Victoria-affiliated football and netball clubs to apply for rewards of up to $10,000 to spend on club initiatives such as club transport, new equipment and uniforms or facility upgrades.
A further $100,000 has been added to this year’s funding pool to support more clubs in spreading the message.
More than 230 clubs earned a share of last year’s pool, with many motivated to take part after being affected by road tragedy.
State Member for Northern Victoria Jaclyn Symes said that as part of this year’s program, clubs would be asked to start conversations and be part of the campaign to raise awareness of the dangers of speeding, with the tagline ‘Be the difference’.
“Last year we supported more than 230 grassroots clubs for shining a light on road safety,” Ms Symes said.
“We want more clubs in northern Victoria to get involved this year to ensure every journey on our regional roads is a safe one.”
As of Thursday, June 5, 134 people had lost their lives on Victorian roads in 2025, with more than 60 per cent of deaths happening on the same regional roads that footballers and netballers travel on for games every week.
