Getting more Australians on the water, more often and in more ways is the focus of Australian Sailing’s new national Participation Plan.

Some of the country’s biggest names have thrown their support behind Australia’s Sport Participation Strategy, Play Well, by taking part in a new podcast series.

Australia is developing its first National Community Sport Infrastructure Plan to support more informed and coordinated decision-making about community sport facilities.

It’s been another big year at the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS), and there’s no signs of slowing down as we race towards the end of 2025.

The Australian Sports Commission (ASC) has announced Veronica Treloar, from the Williamstown Swimming & Life Saving Club in Melbourne, as the winner of the prestigious 2025 ASC Sport Volunteer of the Year Award.

The ASC is calling for EOIs from Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people to join a Play Well First Nations Advisory Group.

Do you know a sport volunteer who has made an exceptional impact over the past 12 months?

Behind the scenes of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, an important transformation was taking place. The Australian Sports Commission (ASC) and Football Australia were working together to strengthen community clubs in preparation for a surge in participation.

Bringing the sector together to align resources, effort and investment is the focus of Horizon 1 (2024-2026) of the Play Well Strategy.

Australia is known as a sport loving nation, but when it comes to participating in organised sport, we’re spending more time on the bench than on the playing field.
