Federal Government policy endeavours to strengthen Australia’s high performance sport system and back Australian sporting ability over the next ten years to enable Australian athletes to excel at Olympic, Paralympic and Commonwealth Games, other major multi-sport events and world championships. The Government’s new Sports Excellence Program, delivered through the ASC, will nourish the continued success of Australian athletes through sustained international competition and exposure to world class coaches.
NSOs will be challenged to enhance their high performance programs and to include athletes with disabilities in mainstream sports activities.
Federal Government policy has determined a significant ongoing role for the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) in the delivery of high performance outcomes.
