The number of people playing sport in Australia is in sharp decline. Athletes struggle to pay for sporting gear or for competition related travel. Grassroots clubs are resorting to using old and tired equipment.
Acknowledgment of Country
We acknowledge and pay respect to the Traditional Owners and Elders—past and present—of the lands on which the Australian Sports Foundation operates. We extend this acknowledgment to the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters, and community.
At the ASF, we celebrate the diversity and strength of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and their significant contributions to Australian sport and society.
