The Australian Sports Commission, comprising Sport Australia and the Australian Institute of Sport, has released its 2019-2023 Corporate Plan to outline its vision and strategic priorities for the next four years.
We are focused on improving the health and wellbeing of all Australians, and making communities stronger through sport and physical activity. From grassroots up to the pinnacle of elite international competition, we will continue to champion the role sport can play in engaging every Australian and deliver three key outcomes:
- Getting more Australians moving more often
- Building the capability of sport to create a robust, connected industry
- Creating national pride and inspiration through international sporting success
Our programs benefit the whole community, through investment in national sporting organisations, athletes, community sport infrastructure, school programs and participation initiatives for older Australians. We are activating national behaviour change to get more people moving.
August 1 also marks the first anniversary of the Australian Government's Sport 2030 National Sport Plan and the creation of our Sport Australia entity – charged with delivering Australia's commitment to reduce physical inactivity by 15 per cent by 2030.
In leading Australia's high performance sport system, the AIS is delivering the first joint National High Performance Sport Strategy 2024 – which focuses on enhancing athlete pathways and athlete wellbeing to create long-term sustainable success.
