Skateboarding has rapidly evolved from a grassroots movement into a global Olympic sport—and Australia is right at the forefront of that journey. From the streets and skateparks of local communities to the world stage, our athletes are redefining what’s possible and inspiring a new generation to get on board. Through the Skate Australia Donor Program, we are raising funds to directly support Australia’s Olympic skateboarders and their families—helping them pursue the sport at the highest level, both at home and around the world. This investment will ease the financial and logistical pressures of elite competition, providing access to coaching, international pathways, and performance support, so athletes can focus on what matters most: performing on the global stage. It will also contribute to our ambition to develop a world-class training and event facility, giving athletes a home base to train, prepare and compete in Australia. We care deeply about this because behind every athlete is a network of families and communities making sacrifices to support their journey. Skateboarding is more than a sport—it’s a culture and a way of life. By backing our athletes and investing in the environments they need to succeed, we are creating the conditions for Australia to deliver its most successful Olympic skateboarding campaign at Brisbane 2032, on home soil. Our plan is clear: to build a sustainable, athlete-centred high performance system that nurtures talent, removes barriers, and creates consistent opportunities to compete and succeed internationally. With LA28 and Brisbane 2032 on the horizon, this is a critical window to invest in our athletes and secure Australia’s place as a leading force in Olympic skateboarding.Skate Australia is the national governing body for skateboarding, responsible for developing the sport at all levels—from grassroots participation to elite performance. We work closely with athletes, coaches and communities across the country to create pathways, deliver programs, and represent Australia on the world stage. By supporting this campaign, you are helping shape the future of Australian skateboarding—fueling the dreams of our athletes and building a legacy that extends well beyond the Olympic Games.
