Aussie Athlete Fund

Building a sustainable athlete economy

Aussie Athlete Fund was founded for the sole purpose of building the sustainable athlete economy movement. To fuel Aussie athlete dreams to compete in the green and gold. So no athlete quits due to lack of funding.

The harsh reality is that Australian athletes are struggling to fund their food, a home to live, training and competition with risk of abandoning their pursuit of the green and gold. 46% of athletes identified to represent Australia on the world stage are living below the poverty line earning less than $23,000 p.a.

Help keep our athletes above the poverty line, support their dream, be on the journey of the green and gold dream and give them every chance to win!

Aussie Athlete Fund is paving the way in creating the sustainable athlete economy:

Funding to keep athletes competing.

Education to build capabilities beyond the sporting field of play.

Support to build financial wellbeing.

Funding so athletes don’t retire in debt.

Creating corporate networking opportunities for athletes.
