The Morrison Government continues to back Australian high-performance sport with a\u00a0$257.5 million\u00a0investment for National Sporting Organisations (NSOs) to take them through to the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games and beyond.
\nMinister for Sport Richard Colbeck said funding allocations to NSOs provides certainty to athletes as they prepare for Paris 2024.
\n\u201cOur athletes inspired Australians everywhere with their efforts at the delayed Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games, and through the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) this funding provides the perfect platform to perform in Paris,\u201d Minister Colbeck said.
\n\u201cThrough this commitment by the Federal Government and\u00a0via a collaborative process with the\u00a0AIS, sports\u00a0are enabled to build their plans in advance for a full summer Games cycle, with funding right through until the end of 2024.\u201d
\n\u201cThis will be the first time that sports have received funding certainty so far out from an Olympic and Paralympic Games, and we\u2019re proud to have made that commitment to building sustainable success for our\u00a0high performance\u00a0athletes and their support teams.\u201d
\nSports will receive grants for the period 1 July 2022 through until December 2024, with Australia\u2019s Matildas benefiting from $1.9 million dedicated specifically to Paris 2024, and a further $8.83m over two years to support\u00a0to Matildas 2023 World Cup campaign\u00a0and broader Matildas programs.
\nIncreased commitments have also been made to\u00a0a number of\u00a0other sports, including Women\u2019s Rugby 7s, Canoe (Para and Able), Rowing (Para and Able) Surfing,\u00a0Skate, Combat, Equestrian and\u00a0Para Table Tennis
\nThrough an $82.2 million package dedicated to athletes of the future and athlete wellbeing, the Federal Government is also strongly committed to success at Brisbane 2032.
\nAs a result of these most recent investment decisions, Performance Pathways funding has increased to sports that include softball, baseball, gymnastics, women\u2019s hockey, men\u2019s\u00a0football\u00a0and rugby 7s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
