About
The Indigenous Sport program was developed to encourage Indigenous people to be more active and to play sport at all levels. The program also works to increase opportunities for Indigenous people to learn the skills needed to organise, deliver and manage community-based sport, and to ensure that talented Indigenous sportspeople are able to access the support they need to reach their sporting goals.
The Indigenous Sport program has a network of Indigenous Sport Development Officers who work with state and territory departments of sport and recreation. These officers look at the sporting needs of Indigenous communities and then develop programs, often in partnership with other sporting organisations, to deliver community-based sporting opportunities and services.
