OVERVIEW

Many Australians and New Zealanders value sport and recreation, both as participants and as spectators. Our passion for sport and recreation is driven from each nation's grass roots and, in turn, the sport and recreation sector provides key social forums for participants and their families.

Sport and recreation also drives and supports the commercial, educational and community infrastructure that is needed by way of venues, equipment, clothing, media coverage, and a wide range of career specialists. The importance of sport and recreation to our nation's health is increasingly recognized.

Achieving these diverse goals, and doing so efficiently, requires effective management of the associated risks.
