Add an event to the eligible Emerging Athlete Pathways events list

Event nominations can only be provided by the relevant event organiser directly to the department.

• School events are submitted by Queensland Representative School Sport or School Sport Australia.
• All other events are submitted by the relevant State or National level sport or active recreation organisation.

Eligible events under the subsidy:

• must be a Queensland State Championship, Queensland State School Championship, Australian National Championship, Australian National School Championship, or International Championship.
• must require participants to have undergone a selection/qualification process to attend or provide a pathway for athletes (e.g. selection to compete at the nationals undertaken at the state event).
• each event organiser or selector is allowed a maximum of 1 event per tier (state, national and international), per age group, division and discipline only.

The following events are not eligible:

• local or regional championships, training squads and development camps, ongoing seasonal competitions, ongoing series, friendship or invitational events.
• State level events not located in Queensland and National level events not located in Australia, except where the relevant event organiser has confirmed that there is no equivalent pathway event for the specific tier within Queensland/Australia.
• school events where there is an existing non-school event for that age group (with the exception of events nominated by Queensland Representative School Sport or School Sport Australia).
• Events submitted after the event start date.
• Multiple events for the same sport or activity in the same discipline and the same age group, except where the sport or activity conducts their event in multiple rounds.
• events that do not lead to pathways for athletes, coaches or officials.

Detailed eligibility information is available on the EAP guidelines (PDF, 332.7 KB) and terms and conditions.

The department will be in touch with registered state sport and recreation organisations and Queensland Representative School Sport to request upcoming eligible event submissions on a regular basis. You will also need to provide any updates to locations of events, if they occur, prior to the event. For more information or to register, email eap@dtis.qld.gov.au
