Is your local sports club feeling the pinch of rising electricity bills? Or perhaps your clubhouse is struggling to stay cool during record-breaking summer heatwaves?
The Australian Government has just announced a major winning play for community sports: the Game On: Teaming Up for Climate Action program. Managed by the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW), this initiative provides $35.3 million in funding to help clubs across the country lower their costs and build climate resilience.
If you want to secure a grant of up to $100,000, here is everything you need to know to get your application match-ready with the help of the team at myenergy.
The program is designed to support up to 500 community sporting clubs. The goal is simple: help clubs decarbonise their operations, slash energy bills, and upgrade facilities to withstand extreme weather like storms and heatwaves.
While the grant covers various upgrades, the most impactful investment for most clubs is a combined Solar PV and Battery Storage system.
At myenergy, we specialise in helping clubs transition from being passive energy consumers to active energy managers. By pairing solar with a high-capacity battery, your club can:
We don't just talk about energy efficiency; we deliver it. myenergy has a proud history of engaging with iconic community institutions like the Southport Surf Life Saving Club.
By working closely with their committee, we identified specific energy drains—from heavy-duty refrigeration for the bistro to high-draw lighting for evening operations. Our tailored energy efficiency solution helped them significantly reduce their carbon footprint and operating costs.
Successes like Southport SLSC demonstrate that with the right partner, community clubs can achieve professional-grade energy performance that protects their bottom line and the environment.
Applying for a $100,000 government grant can be daunting. You need technical audits, precise quotes, and a clear vision for the project. myenergy is more than just an installer; we are your project partner.
The first round opens on 11 June 2026, but the best time to start is now.
Start documenting your current energy use. Gather your last four power bills so you can demonstrate the financial burden on your club.
Grant applications require detailed, realistic budgets. Reach out to the MyEnergy team today for a site assessment and a formal quote that meets the DCCEEW guidelines.
DCCEEW looks for projects that benefit the broader community. Mention how many members use the facility and how the savings will be used to keep registration fees low or improve local participation.
Don’t let your club get left in the dark. With $100,000 on the table, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to future-proof your clubhouse.
