The Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) mission is to lead and enable a united high performance (HP) system that supports Australian athletes/teams to achieve podium success.
We are continually looking for ways to progress the AIS and Australian sport.
The AIS was one-of-a-kind in 1981, the only sport institute in Australia. There is now a sport institute or academy in every state and territory.
We have united to become the National Institute Network and are positioned to positively influence more Australian athletes than ever before.
Here are some of the key moments in our journey so far.
