Implementation
Implementation Plan
Everyone has a right to participate in sport. Sport is a powerful vehicle for personal growth, community building and positive social change.
Harnessing knowledge and experience from across the sector, we commit to making positive changes, to break down barriers and empower individuals to explore, create and connect through sport. We are redefining participation to be about more than just competing. It is about creating safe, welcoming and inclusive spaces where everyone can belong and thrive.
The Play Well Implementation Planning and Review Process outlines the steps we will take over the next 12 months to deliver our priority initiatives and bring the strategy to life.
A new implementation plan will be released each year.
