National Sport Plan - Shaping the future direction of sport in Australia

Overview

The Office for Sport, within the Department of Health and Aged Care, is undertaking a public consultation to inform the development of a new National Sport Plan (the Plan). The Australian Government is harnessing the power of sport and physical activity to build healthy, active, connected and thriving communities.

Over the next decade, Australia will host some of the world’s largest sporting events, culminating in the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The Plan will be an important mechanism to deliver on the Australian Government’s commitments and priorities for sport, and to ensure success for Australia throughout the 'green and gold decade' (2022–2032) and beyond.

The Plan provides an opportunity to leverage the decade of major sporting events to reshape the future direction of sport in Australia. This includes making the most of high performance, participation, tourism, trade, employment, inclusion and economic opportunities. The Plan recognises that sport has an important role in Australian society to promote and uphold inclusion, unity, equality, fairness and social connectedness, and that sport should always be safe for participants and supporters.

The consultation paper provides details on the proposed Plan. Please read the consultation paper before completing the survey.
