Backing Our Sporting Culture
Sport is at the centre of Australian culture. We play it, watch it and support it from all corners of the country, in every shape and form. It’s also big business, getting bigger and more complex every year. Challenges are growing, on and off the field. Every sporting organisation, from grassroots to professional, is adapting to changing times. Constantly facing new questions around governance and behaviour, funding and sponsorship, and how we deliver sports in the digital age.
