Funding of up to $4,000 through the Healthy Sporting Club Program is now available for Western Australian sporting clubs seeking to reduce children's exposure to unhealthy food marketing, increase access to healthy food and drink, and develop awareness around healthy eating choices.

Healthway's Healthy Sporting Club Program is open for summer applications, with the goal to boost healthier food options for members at club-run canteens and kiosks.

Successful applicants will have the ability to upskill canteen staff and club volunteers through the Western Australian School Canteen Association's Fuel to Go & Play™ accreditation program.

Western Australian Health Minister Roger Cook advises "Sporting clubs already provide pathways to healthy lifestyles through physical activity and the Healthy Sporting Club Program aims to inspire clubs to promote healthy eating habits.

"This program helps Western Australians get the nutrition they need to succeed in their chosen sport this summer.

"If you're part of a sporting club that wants to create a healthier food environment for your members, I'd encourage you to apply for funding through the Healthy Sporting Club Program."

Applications are open until 12 noon, Friday 24th September, 2021.
