Australian Sports Commission releases its corporate plan for next four years

The Australian Sports Commission has outlined its strategic goals and key focus areas for the next four years in its Corporate Plan for 2023-27.

Each year the ASC produces a rolling four-year Corporate Plan that details the key activities, targets and measures upon which we are held accountable.

The ASC is committed to lead, support and grow Australian sport at all levels.

To achieve their strategic goals, the ASC have identified five key focus areas which set the direction for their work:

1. Build the capability of sport and the people involved

2. Advocate for sport and its positive influence on Australia

3. Promote and support inclusive and diverse sporting environments

4. Drive thought leadership and innovation, inspiring world’s best practices

5. Optimise our facilities to advance sport and inspire Australians to get involved

ASC Chair Josephine Sukkar AM recognised the ASC’s role in providing opportunities for all communities to be involved in sport, while growing elite success and representation, and inspiring future generations.

Sukkar shares “We aim to bring out the best in everyone involved in sport as we establish Australia as the world’s best sporting nation.

“We are also helping change the face of sport participation so that it reflects our society now and into the future. It’s a key objective of Australia’s first co-designed National Sport Participation Strategy which we are facilitating in partnership with sector stakeholders.

“We continue to develop community sport through our participation programs and support 3 million sport volunteers who are at the heart of our sector.

“We’re also helping more children access free and fun sporting opportunities through our Sporting Schools program which has now helped more than 15 million Australian children to get active and try a range of different sports.

“Our new community coaching approach is helping reshape the sporting experience and encouraging more people to get involved and enjoy sport.”

The launch of Australia’s High Performance 2032+ Sport Strategy was a major milestone for Australian sport which saw peak bodies from across Australia’s Olympic, Paralympic and Commonwealth Games sports unite for the first time under a national commitment to Win Well.

“The strategy aims to position Australia for its best ever performances at upcoming major events including the Commonwealth Games, the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Brisbane and beyond.

“This ASC is proud of the role it plays in supporting Australian athletes and coaches to reach their potential and prepare for major events, at home and abroad,” Sukkar added.
