Welcome to the Sport and Recreation on-line application service. This site will allow you to complete the 2026 State Sporting Organisation (SSO) Categorisation Application Tool.
The SSO Categorisation Application Tool is what SSOs use to provide current, authentic, valid and reliable evidence, against each specific performance criteria within the SSO Categorisation Matrix.
In addition to SSOs providing a description of how their organisation meets each performance criteria, SSOs will be asked to submit mandatory supporting documentation and other available documentation to strengthen their application.
