Participation Design Toolkit

The Australian Sports Commission has a vision for Australia to be the most active sporting nation. By creating a positive experience for participants we can drive behaviour change and get more Australians moving more often through sport.

This toolkit will help sports design quality participation experiences and attract and retain more participants. The information, resources and templates will assist sport to develop effective participation plans and co-design participant-centred products and experiences that are informed by market insights and evidence-based approaches.
