Overview

Sport and volunteering are interlinked. In the community sport sector, we know that volunteers ensure the activities of every sport of any size and at all levels go ahead, are well run, and are safe, accessible and inclusive. Volunteers come out in huge numbers in all weathers and at all hours to ensure sport activities take place. It is our volunteers who allow sport to form a critical part of the fabric of our communities.

The ASC was established in 1985 under the Australian Sports Commission Act 1989, and operates in accordance with the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013
