We didn't start with fridges. We started with saving lives — and grants.

Staying Alive Health built its name helping not-for-profit sporting clubs across Australia navigate grant funding to get defibrillators into clubhouses. Clubhouse Essentials applies that same grant know-how to the rest of what a clubhouse runs on — and to what helps it earn.

Everything on the clubhouse wishlist

If it keeps a canteen running, a sideline shaded, or a committee meeting caffeinated, chances are it's grant-eligible — and chances are we supply it.

Fridges & Coolrooms

Bar fridges to full walk-in coolrooms, sized for match-day canteen volume.

Chest & Upright Freezers

Keep ice, icy poles and bulk catering stock ready for finals season.

BBQs & Canteen Cooking

Flat-tops, hooded BBQs and canteen cookers built for volunteer crews.

Shade Tents & Marquees

Sideline shelter for players, officials and spectators, wet or shine.

Slushie & Drinks Machines

Canteen crowd-pleasers that turn match day into fundraising day.

Coffee Machines

Keep the committee, coaches and cold-morning parents on side.

Line Marking Machines

Get the oval or court ready every week without hiring gear or guessing paint.

Ice Machines

Steady ice supply for drinks, esky top-ups and first-aid on hot match days.

Chip Fryers

Canteen classics done properly — commercial fryers built for high-volume days.

Bain Maries

Keep pies, sauces and hot food service-ready right through the day.

Gear that pays the club back

It's not just about equipping the clubhouse — it's about equipping it to make money. These are the money-makers clubs ask us for most.

POS & EFTPOS Systems

Take cashless payments at the canteen, bar and gate without the drama.

Merchandise & Uniforms

Kit out every team in the club — playing strips, training gear and club merch, sourced and printed to sell to players, parents and supporters.

From wishlist to clubhouse, in five steps

This is the same grant pathway that's already worked for defibrillators across dozens of clubs — now pointed at the rest of the equipment list.

  • 1. Tell us the wishlist

    Fridge, freezer, BBQ, POS, vending machine — tell us what the club actually needs.

  • 2. We check eligibility

    Our team matches your club and equipment against current grants.

  • 3. We write the submission

    We prepare and lodge the grant application on your behalf.

  • 4. Funding comes through

    Your club is notified and we lock in pricing ahead of delivery.

  • 5. We deliver and install

    Equipment arrives ready to use, with hands-on service and support.

Grant know-how you don't have to learn yourself

Committees are run by volunteers, not grant consultants. That's the gap Clubhouse Essentials exists to close.

  • Most clubs don't miss out on grants because they're not eligible — they miss out because nobody had the time to find the grant, let alone write the application.

    Why we built Clubhouse Essentials

  • The same grant relationships that got AEDs into clubhouses around Australia now work just as hard for coolrooms, POS systems and canteen gear.

    One team, a much longer equipment list
