The Sport, Major Venues & Events industry is important to Australia’s way of life, collectively delivering significant commercial, economic, health and social benefits to Australian society. It is unique in its ability to develop the skills, deliver the experiences and facilitate the memories that live on in our hearts and minds and enhance our individual and collective lived experience.

It is at the forefront of promoting the physical activity that allows us to have healthy and productive lives, of supporting our local economies and jobs through operational and tourism expenditure, of expanding our horizons through new creative and cultural experiences, of supporting collaboration and knowledge sharing, and of bringing communities together to enhance civic pride, social cohesion and overall human and social capital.
