Clubs Tasmania?
Keeping our communities strong and connected is important to us all. Community clubs play an essential role in the health and wellbeing of Tasmanians. Funded by the State Government (2019-2022), Clubs Tasmania, part of the Tasmanian Hospitality Association, operates as a not for profit, or profit for purpose entity.
We work in partnership with the three tiers of Government, Communities, Sport and Recreation, state sporting associations and peak bodies to:
Advocate for increased Government investment in the community club sector (successful lobbying since 2018 with additional $24 million secured in Government funding)
Maintain relationships with Government / Communities, Sport and Recreation
Increase employment in the community club sector
Strengthen the community club industry by helping clubs and peak bodies increase participation
Support clubs to remain viable and sustainable with timely and tailored advice, webinars and teleconferences on issues that matter to community clubs
Provide a voice for grassroots community clubs and
Assist community clubs to access a suite of corporate partners and Government services that enable community clubs to reduce costs, increase revenue, decrease volunteer workload and build capacity so clubs can ‘thrive and survive’ post COVID 19
“COVID-19 has had an impact on all facets of our lives including within our community and sporting clubs. The Government has provided substantial support to the sector throughout the pandemic which has provided certainty and consistency at a time when it is needed most. Clubs Tasmania is ideally placed to assist sporting clubs and organisations as they recover and rebuild from COVID-19 and I commend Clubs Tasmania for its ongoing advocacy.”
