Active Queenslanders Industry Alliance provides assistance and services to the fitness, sport and recreation industry in Queensland on behalf of the sector’s peak bodies – Fitness Australia, QSport and the Queensland Outdoor Recreation Federation.
We exist to make it easier for community-level organisations and clubs to operate in their local communities and to support their workforce, because a strong and vibrant fitness, sport and recreation industry is important for the health, quality of life and social connection of Queenslanders.

Active Queenslanders Industry Alliance provides free one-on-one advice on how to apply for and win grants, free access to club management templates and tools, fact sheets, videos, legal information, advice on staffing and volunteer matters and subsidised Strategic and Business Planning audits and workshops.

AQIA Members
The funding and grants maze can sometimes seem confusing or overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. All organisations and clubs need financial support for facilities, infrastructure and equipment in order to service their participants, volunteers, supporters and staff. Grants are available, but are generally given for specific programs or projects, not for operating costs.
Miscellaneous
AQIA Safe Return to Play Guide
The free e-Learning course covers important information such as COVID Safety Officer training and the Queensland Government’s Return to Play guide.
Your organisation or club can become COVID-safe ready and ensure best practice community health and hygiene is in place as COVID restrictions ease.
