Program 15.1: Sport and Recreation

Program 15.1 aims to improve opportunities for community participation in sport and recreation, and achieve excellence and integrity in high-performance athletes.

Key Strategic Directions for 2009-10

In 2009-10, the department's strategies to achieve these aims were to:

improve public health outcomes through national strategies that encourage, facilitate and support regular physical activity and other recreational pursuits;
increase Indigenous Australians' participation in, and encourage community ownership and management of, sport and physical recreation activities;
maintain a strategic, best practice and evidence-based anti-doping regime to ensure Australia maintains a robust anti-doping system that continues to meet international obligations through research and policy development; and
support sporting competitiveness and integrity through policy development and program implementation in order to maximise the impact of public investment in high performance sport.

Major Activities

Increased Participation in Sport and Physical Activity

Participation in sport and active recreation offers numerous benefits to the individual and the community through improvements in health and wellbeing, social inclusion, community development and diversion from anti-social behaviour. Sport and active recreation have features that encourage long term physical activity, including socialisation, commitment through payment of registration fees and shared responsibility with team mates, the learning of new skills and the enjoyment of participation. In 2009-10, the department facilitated the development of the National Sport and Active Recreation Policy Framework through the Sport and Recreation Ministers' Council which is expected to be agreed by ministers in late 2010.

The department continued to work with peak national recreation safety organisations to implement priority water and snow safety activities under the Australian Water Safety Strategy 2008-11. For example, the department worked with water safety advocate Laurie Lawrence to develop and distribute more than 600,000 DVDs on water safety for parents of children under five years old.

The department funded improvements to community-based sport and recreation infrastructure to deliver more accessible, safe and inclusive sport and recreation activities. More than 60 community sport and recreation organisations have now completed their infrastructure and facility improvement projects.

Increased Indigenous Australians' Participation in Sport and Physical Recreation

Sport and recreation programs contribute to the Australian Government initiative of Closing the Gap in Indigenous disadvantage by providing opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to participate in sport and physical activities. The Council of Australian Governments recognises that overcoming Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander disadvantage requires a long-term generational commitment that will see major efforts directed across a number of strategic platforms or 'Building Blocks'. Of the seven Building Blocks endorsed by the council, the Indigenous Sport and Recreation Programs administered under Outcome 15 contribute to Health (by encouraging a healthier lifestyle that includes physical activity), Economic Participation (through employment opportunities such as sport and recreation officers), Safe Communities (by providing an alternative to anti-social behaviour) and Governance and Leadership (by funding initiatives to build the capacity of Indigenous communities to deliver sport and recreation activities independently).

In 2009-10, the department assisted Indigenous Australians to become more involved in healthy activity by managing initiatives through the Indigenous Sport and Recreation Program and the Job Creation Package (Sport and Recreation). The department also managed 104 funding agreements with 90 organisations through the Indigenous Sport and Recreation Program, and assessed 230 applications for projects to be funded in 2010-11.

The department contributed, through a Memorandum of Understanding with the Australian Sports Commission, to the employment of 28 Indigenous sport and recreation development officers, and the operation of the Elite Indigenous Travel and Accommodation Assistance Program. In 2009-10, this program provided financial assistance to Indigenous athletes to be involved in, and travel to, national championships and international sporting competitions. Under the Job Creation Package (Sport and Recreation) the department also managed 39 funding agreements for the creation of 162 part time (85 full time equivalent) sport and recreation jobs across Australia.

Both programs contributed to increased Indigenous participation in sport and recreation by providing personnel to assist in the organisation of sporting events and activities, or providing financial assistance to Indigenous communities to support participation in various sport and recreation activities.

National Anti-Doping Efforts

Alignment of Australia's anti-doping efforts with the world anti-doping program ensures that all Australian athletes competing at the national and international level are subject to the same anti-doping rules, sanctions and procedures as their competitors.

In 2009-10, the department reaffirmed its tough stance on doping in sport and took further steps to ensure that Australia's anti-doping regime maintained a strategic, best practice and evidence-based approach consistent with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) International Convention Against Doping in Sport, the World Anti-Doping Code and international standards.

Legislation was enacted on 1 January 2010 to significantly change the governance structure of the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority. In implementing the reforms, the newly created Chief Executive Officer position was filled; and the Anti-Doping Rule Violation Panel established. The legislation also provided for the formation of an Advisory Group.

Globally, the department continued its commitment to international cooperation through ongoing funding to the administration costs of the World Anti-Doping Agency and the UNESCO voluntary fund, to assist developing countries to implement anti-doping programs. In 2009-10, the department also provided support for the Oceania Regional Anti-Doping Organisation by assisting with costs associated with the organisation's management, education programs, and operating overheads.

Research continues to play an important role in ensuring that detection methods keep pace with global doping trends and athletes are educated effectively about the risks and consequences of doping. In 2009-10, the department continued to fund academic and scientific organisations under the Anti-Doping Research Program and supported six new research projects. These projects contribute to developing better ways of detecting doping with erythropoietin (a hormone that stimulates red blood cell production), improving the reliability of current testing for steroid use, expanding the understanding of the reasons for deliberate and inadvertent doping, and developing new educational tools for junior elite athletes.

In 2010-11, the department will continue to support research that investigates how to better detect banned substances and methods, and improve understanding of doping behaviours.

Support for Sporting Competitiveness and Integrity

The success of Australian athletes generates great national pride and provides positive role models particularly for young people. Participation in sport also has a vital role to play in the Government's preventative health agenda; is a vehicle for building community identity and cohesion; provides a positive alternative to anti-social behaviour; and promotes fairness, teamwork, respect and dedication.

In 2009-10, the department continued to implement the Club Champions program with seven key national sporting organisations (Australian Football League, Australian Rugby Union, Cricket Australia, Football Federation Australia, National Rugby League, Netball Australia and Swimming Australia). Athletes, coaches, officials and support staff nominated by their sporting organisation are taking part in sport-specific alcohol education sessions. The department contracted Queensland University of Technology to develop an alcohol education and training package for the program that has formed the basis for the sport-specific programs. The training package includes materials and resources that carry the key messages of the National Binge Drinking Strategy, the Australian Alcohol Guidelines and the principles of the National Alcohol Code of Conduct. The sessions promote an understanding of the harms associated with binge drinking.

The department also implemented the Government's Illicit Drugs in Sport Action Plan. Initial research on the use of illicit drugs by elite athletes was released in September 2009. Eight national sporting organisations (Australian Football League, Australian Rugby League, the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport, Cricket Australia, Netball Australia, Rowing Australia, Surfing Australia and Swimming Australia) adopted the Illicit Drugs in Sport Policies and commenced education programs for their athletes and the broader community. Agreements were signed with the Australian Sports Commission to introduce testing for illicit drug use on Australian Institute of Sport athletes and with the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport, to introduce pre-race testing to prevent drivers competing under the influence of illicit drugs. The department also provided funding to the Australian Psychological Society to build capacity within its membership to deal with athlete specific issues and the Australian National University's National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre, to adapt existing motivational intervention techniques through the 'MoodGym' online counselling service to cater for psychostimulant users seeking confidential assistance.

Independent Sport Panel Report

The Independent Sport Panel was commissioned in 2008-09 to investigate the reforms required to ensure that, both at community and high performance levels, the Australian sporting system remains prepared for future challenges. Following an extensive consultation and review process, the panel presented its report, The Future of Sport in Australia, for Government consideration on 16 October 2009.

The panel made 39 recommendations on a wide range of issues including defining a national vision and policy objectives; suggested changes to the structure and role of the Australian Sports Commission, the Australian Institute of Sport and state and territory institutes and academies of sport; the need to build the capacity of the sport system and its organisations; the role of sport and physical activity in the education system; the role of sport in community development and social inclusion; and the steps needed to sustain the funding base for sport.

The department provided policy advice and support to assist the Minister in the preparation of the Government's response to the panel's report. The Government's response to the panel's recommendations and its new policy directions paper, Australian Sport: the pathway to success, was launched on 11 May 2010, along with the announcement of funding to the Australian Sports Commission to support the measures included in the paper. The Government accepted the majority of the panel's recommendations. A major emphasis of the recommendations was a whole-of-sport approach to be adopted in the delivery of government funding and programs.

The department will play a key role in developing many of the new policy directions. The department, in consultation with the Australian Sports Commission and state and territory departments responsible for sport and recreation, commenced work on the development of a National Sport and Active Recreation Policy Framework including the reform of the network of Australia's sports institutes. The department will also work with Education Ministers, the Department of Employment, Education and Workplace Relations and other stakeholders to develop a National Sport and Education Strategy. It is also intended that the framework include strategies to fully harness the potential of sport and active recreation to contribute to government social inclusion objectives and to recruit and retain volunteers to the sector. The Australian Sports Commission will implement programs with the new funding to support high performance and participation objectives.
