National Sport Strategy

About Sport Horizon 

Sport Horizon:

• sets a shared vision for creating healthy, active, connected communities and a thriving sport system over the next decade
• provides a framework to align our focus, efforts and resources. 

Why it’s important

Sport Horizon:

• responds to changes in the sporting landscape following the COVID-19 pandemic
• maximises the opportunities created by the decade of major sporting events leading up to and including the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games
• lays a foundation for coordinated action across the sport sector and government to deliver high-quality policies and programs.

Our priorities will be activated through aligned national sport strategy documents, including:

• Australia’s National Sport Participation Strategy – Play Well
• Australia’s 2032+ High Performance Sport Strategy – Win Well
• Sports Diplomacy 2030
• Major Sporting Events Legacy Framework
• Sport Volunteer Coalition Action Plan
• Sport Governance Principles
• National Integrity Framework
• state and territory sport and recreation plans.
