AIS Sport Performance Awards

The Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) mission is to lead and enable a united high performance (HP) system that supports Australian athletes/teams to achieve podium success.

Celebrating the outstanding achievements of athletes, teams, coaches, volunteers and leaders in Australian high performance sport.

The 2024 ASPAs celebrated a record-breaking year for Australian sport. It highlighted our incredible success at the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games, as well as acknowledged the team behind our athletes – our coaches, our volunteers, our officials, and our leaders - all of whom work tirelessly to ensure our athletes have a platform for sustainable success.

All ASPAs nominees were judged not only on their success in the sporting arena but also on how they bring Australian sport’s united commitment of “we win well to inspire Australians” to life.

The 2024 AIS Sport Performance Awards were presented at a gala event in Melbourne on Wednesday 4 December.
