Treasurer Ben Wyatt has announced the Insurance Commission of Western Australia will provide $540,000 of funding to Football West over three years for their participation in the Belt Up campaign.
The campaign aims to promote public awareness about the importance of wearing a seatbelt and educate the community on how to sustain fewer and less serious injuries when involved in motor vehicle crashes, leading to fewer insurance claims incurring lower costs.
The Football West partnership will see more than 2,000 Belt Up soccer balls and goals distributed to 215 teams participating in regional and metropolitan competitions. This includes the men’s and women’s leagues, and the all abilities inclusion competition.
