The Australian Sports Commission (ASC) is the Australian Government body that develops, manages and invests in sport at all levels in Australia.
The ASC funds and works closely with a range of national sporting organisations, State and local governments, schools and community bodies to ensure sport is well run and accessible so that everyone can participate and enjoy the benefits. It also works with these organisations, and through the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) and State and Territory Institutes and Academies, to develop elite sporting excellence.
The ASC also works to uphold the integrity of sport through many innovative programs ranging from the promotion of ethical sporting practices on and off the field to the enforcement of Australia’s commitment to keeping sport free of performance- enhancing drugs.
