Elite Indigenous Travel and Accommodation Assistance Program
Australian Sports Commission
The Elite Indigenous Travel and Accommodation Assistance Program (EITAAP) is an initiative that is jointly managed by the Indigenous Sport Program and Department of Health and Ageing.
Indigenous sportspeople who are involved in mainstream official national championships and international sporting competitions can apply for financial assistance through EITAAP.
Funding is available for travel and accommodation expenses up to $1500 per person for national events and $4000 per person for international events during a financial year.
Indigenous sportspeople including athletes, coaches, managers, officials and trainers can apply if they meet all the following criteria:
- they are involved or compete in a sport recognised by the Australian Sports Commission - visit the Australian Sport Directory for the list of recognised sports
- they are selected in a state/territory or national team endorsed by the relevant state/territory or national sporting organisation
- they have their application sponsored by the state or national sporting organisation or relevant state/territory school sport representative body.
Indigenous sportspeople cannot apply for assistance if they are:
- selected in Indigenous-only teams
- individuals participating in commercial tours
- attending a professional event or an event that involves prize money
- individuals under the age of 12 (exemptions may apply).
Once a complete application has been lodged, the applicant and/or sponsoring organisation will be notified on the outcome within two weeks.
For more information please contact the Indigenous Sport Development Officer in your area or email the Indigenous Sport Program. Contact details can be found on the contacts page.
