Sport 2030 - National Sports Plan

Released in mid-2018, the National Sport Plan demonstrates a clear vision of the Australia Government for sport and physical activity in Australia. One of the four key pillars of the plan is ‘Building a More Active Australia’. This will be promoted in the following ways:

• Drive movement for life through sport and physical activity participation for all Australians
• Ensure all Australian children have the skills, confidence and motivation to be active for life and safe in the water
• Reduce barriers to sport and physical activity participation, including swimming, and actively promote incentives for participation
• Coordinated investment in sport and recreation facilities to achieve sustainable outcomes for communities, with a focus on universal design to ensure sport is accessible to all Australians.

National Sport and Active Recreation Policy Framework

The National Sport and Active Recreation Policy Framework, endorsed by the Commonwealth and State and Territory Ministers for Sport and Recreation in February 2011, provides the basis for continued collaborative work between Governments in sport and active recreation. The framework provides a guide for the development of policies by all governments and it is intended that coordinated strategies and initiatives that flow from the framework will lead to greater alignment of sport and active recreation funding and programs in pursuit of an improved sport and active recreation system. The Framework is currently under review.
