Review of Recognition Criteria

The recognition criteria against which the eligibility of all NSOs/NSODs is assessed are designed to assist the ASC to assess whether an organisation is considered the pre-eminent body for the sport they represent in Australia, has sufficient standing within its sport and has adequate governance.

The ASC may update the recognition criteria and the supporting process at any time to ensure each remains relevant and contemporary.

Periodically, an ASC working party reviews the recognition criteria. Such reviews encompass international benchmarking and wide consultation with Commonwealth and State/Territory stakeholders, including the relevant ASC business areas and Commonwealth/State/Territory sporting agencies.
