In an effort to assist clubs & event organisers to comply with CAMS minimum essential officials' requirements when submitting a Permit Application, CAMS have put together an Essential Officials Matrix which identifies the type of Essential Official along with the minimum licence level required to fulfil each role.

Funding Opportunities
In Australia, funding is available for organisations and / or individuals involved in sport and recreation from a range of sources. While the majority of capital comes from National, State/Territory and Local Government programs, Sport and Recreation agencies are not the only avenues to dispense grants. Funding is also channelled through programs for community groups to achieve a range of development goals through sport, physical activity and / or recreation.
If you are seeking funding for an event/s, think of what your event can bring to the local area & its economy. Are people going to travel to your event (intrastate / interstate / international)? Will they be travelling alone or will they be travelling to the event with other people (e.g. family, pit crew, etc.)?
For those considering equipment grants, you need to prosecute your case for funding with compelling reasons as to why the equipment is going to greatly improve your club's ability to develop. What is the overall benefit of the funding body providing your club with funding to purchase the equipment? What benefits can your club demonstrate will occur because of the new / improved equipment? Is there a plan to maintain the equipment, so that your club will not be seeking funding for a similar purpose in the near future?
Below is a list of funding opportunities available to CAMS car clubs. If you would like more information on a particular grant or would like assistance with your club's application, please contact your local Sport & Club Development Officer.
Please be aware that CAMS does not guarantee the accuracy of the information below. You are advised to make your own enquiries regarding the eligibility requirements, deadlines, funding priorities & amounts for each relevant funding program listed prior to commencing the process of submitting an application in any funding program. Please report any broken links to [email protected].

Local Government
Most Local Governments provide a range of grants to sporting organisations, especially those to encourage participation.
CAMS encourages clubs to look on their Local Government's websites for access to this information.
If you are holding an event in another Local Government jurisdiction, you would be advised to also seek any grant opportunities within that jurisdiction also.

Play By The Rules
The Play By The Rules website has a number of resources (video, audio & written) that can assist clubs in providing information & forming their own policies relating to:-
- Member Protection
- Behaviour
- Social Media
- Alcohol
- Communication
Please note that not all the resources on the Play By The Rules website are specifically aimed at reducing risk specifically for clubs that stage programs & activities that cater to minors. There is a benefit in viewing the website regardless of whether your club provides activities that cater to minors.
Child Protection Obligations
Each jurisdiction within Australia has their own legislation pertaining to child protection.
Each club is legally obligated to comply with the relevant legislation within its jurisdiction.
For clubs that do offer services & programs to minors, your club would be best advised to stay on top of the legislation relating to child protection. Should your club offer services to minors, please follow the link for your jurisdiction to see what legal obligations there are pertaining to organisations.
Should you require further information on this matter, you are advised to contact [email protected] or speak with the CAMS Integrity Officer (1300 883 959).
