Australian Sports Commission

The Australian Sports Commission (ASC) is the Australian Government body that manages, develops 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 organisations 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), which is a division of the ASC, and state and territory institutes and academies of sport, to develop sporting excellence at the elite level.
