KidSport

The State Government through the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries (Formally Sport and Recreation) is a major supporter of KidSport in WA.

KidSport enables Western Australian children to participate in community sport and recreation, no matter their financial circumstances.

While the primary objective of KidSport is to ensure all Western Australian children can participate in sport and recreation clubs, its secondary objective is to engage these children and their families in the community.
