Sport occupies a central position in Australian life. It is a source of health and enjoyment for millions who participate as players, coaches, officials, administrators and spectators, the vast majority of whom do so in a voluntary capacity. As an industry, sport contributes significantly to the Australian economy. Within the Australian community, sport also provides a strong and continuous thread through a diverse and widespread population. In short, sport is a binding element in the social and cultural fabric of Australia. On behalf of the Australian Government, the Australian Sports Commission plays a central leadership role in the development and operation of the Australian sports system, administering and funding innovative sport programs. Since its establishment almost 20 years ago, the Australian Sports Commission has earned a national and international reputation for its innovative, quality programs and for the delivery of those programs. With unprecedented levels of support from the Australian Government, the Australian Sports Commission has enhanced the operation of a national sports system that remains a world leader in developing high performance and community sport. The world-renowned Australian Institute of Sport, a division of the Australian Sports Commission, is a world-leading centre of excellence for the training and development of elite athletes and coaches. This strategic plan covers the period 2006 to 2009. It outlines the challenges facing Australian sport, the proposed directions for the Australian Sports Commission to address these challenges, and the broad framework and strategies that will allow the Commission to meet its statutory objectives and to achieve the outcomes that the Government requires. This plan builds on previous plans developed in line with the Australian Sports Commission`s mission: to enrich the lives of all Australians through sport. It meets the Australian Sports Commission`s statutory obligation, under Section 23 of the Australian Sports Commission Act 1989, to develop a strategic plan every four years.
