Intro
All Australian governments signed off on the National Sport and Active Recreation Policy Framework in 2011. This policy framework prescribed generic policy roles for national and state sport organisations.
There has been no discussion triggered by a State, territory or the federal government that these need amendment or revision.
National Organisations
State Organisations
In collaboration, alignment and partnership with their national sport and active recreation organisation.
The state’s investment level in sports will be premised on the following characteristics being evident in SSA operations:
*Note SSAs should derive fair and reasonable financial support from NSO commercial arrangements, including national sponsorship. This is especially applicable where such arrangements source Western Australian talent, intellectual property and content within their business models.
The primary support to SSAs is through the three sport and recreation portfolio entities; Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries, Western Australian Institute of Sport and VenuesWest. There are several other departments of state and/or statutory authorities (Lotterywest, WA Tourism Commission and Healthway) that also support SSAs directly and indirectly.
The nature of investment by the state government into sport includes grant funding support for a comprehensive range of state-wide program initiatives. It also includes capital funding support for state, regional and local sporting facilities, either directly or in partnership with local governments.
The state government will include all current funding in deliberations of ongoing support to SSAs and NSOs.
