The ABF will allocate to each State/Territory up to $3000p.a. as a co subsidy for teaching tours. The teaching may be of players and/or directors. The ABF subsidy will be an amount equal to that paid by the State/Territory body nett of fees collected. For example, if the total cost is projected to be $2500 and it is expected that $500 in fees collected then the State body would need to contribute $1000 and the ABF would match that amount. As this programme is only designed to subsidise teaching events, it is expected that a reasonable fee will be charged to participants.

All applications are to be made by the state body to the treasurer of the ABF ( treasurer@abf.com.au ) with a rough budget supplied. Any applications received directly from clubs or individuals will not be processed as clubs or individuals need to apply via their State association. If applicable, the amount of the subsidy will be determined and paid in advance of the event.

For the sake of this subsidy the ABTA and ABDA, will be considered a State and eligible to the same co-contribution. (In other words, if the ABTA allocates say, $1500 for a tour or seminar, the ABF will match that).

Any applications received directly from clubs or individuals will not be processed as clubs or individuals need to apply via their State association. If applicable, the amount of the subsidy will be determined and paid in advance of the event.
