Overview
Australian Sports Commission
The Australian Sports Commission (ASC) supports sport through many innovative programs ranging from promoting ethical sporting practices to helping clubs grow their membership base. It also works with national sporting organisations (NSOs) and national sporting organisations for people with a disability (NSODs) to ensure clear pathways from community sport to elite performance.
The ASC takes an important leadership role in working with NSO/NSODs to establish structures and policies to ensure a fair, safe, ethical and inclusive culture pervades sport at all levels.
The Australian Government, through the ASC is committed to strengthening community level sport and building on Australia's success in the international sporting arena. To achieve this, funds are made available to recognised national sporting organisations, including those with specific programs in areas such as Indigenous sport and member growth. As well, in specific programs funds are made available directly to individual athletes, coaches and officials.
