ASC Message Message from the Australian Sports Commission The Australian Government is committed to increasing participation in sport and for our high performance athletes to excel on the world stage. Sport not only inspires and unites; it also promotes community involvement and active lifestyles. The Olympic and Paralympic Games is an exciting time for Australians and highlights the substantial contribution of sport to the Australian community, from athletes competing in the Games to those involved in weekend club competition and social play, as well as parents and volunteers. Australia’s performance at the London Olympic and Paralympic Games is the culmination of extensive long-term efforts across the Australian high performance sector. Following the Games, there will be opportunity to celebrate our success and critically review our next steps to ensure we focus and align our efforts to deliver the best possible results on the world stage. It is two years since the Australian Government delivered its new vision for sport through Australian Sport: The Pathway to Success. As a result the Australian Sports Commission (ASC) received an increase in recurrent funding. Since then, we have focused on implementing our new plans, delivering key programs, supporting national sporting organisations (NSOs) to deliver participation and high performance outcomes while also assisting with building there capacity and improving collaboration, alignment and effectiveness within the Australian sport sector. The 2012 Budget delivered a continuation of the Active After-school Communities program. This will enable primary school-aged children across the country the opportunity to embed sport and physical activity into their daily life. We will continue working with sporting organisations at all levels to ensure the program provides maximum value to sports and supports the transition of program participants into local clubs. The Prime Minister’s Olympic and Paralympic Challenges were a unique way for primary school children to capture the Olympic spirit and create their own Olympic journey. This initiative encouraged and inspired children to get active, have fun and earn rewards. This, coupled with participation programs delivered by NSOs, continues the Australian Government’s commitment to ensuring greater access to the benefits of sport. The support received from the Australian Government for Australian sport is essential and plays an integral role in connecting our young sporting participants with their dreams of podium success in the future. This is an exciting and challenging time for Australian sport. The Australian Sports Commission looks forward to working with sporting organisations, state and territory institutes and academies of sport and departments of sport and recreation, to promote access to, and participation in sport. Together we can promote an active lifestyle and develop sporting champions now and into the future.
