Sport Connect is an industry wide platform designed to digitally connect the Australian sport and physical activity industry – individuals, organisations and technology suppliers and developers.
Sport Connect, part of the Australian Government’s Sport 2030 plan, helps provide a seamless experience to Australians when digitally engaging with sport and physical activity, as well as making it easier for sport and physical activity organisations (and their technology partners) to deliver that experience.
Sport Connect is provided by the Australian Sports Commission (‘ASC’, ‘we’ or ‘us’ in these terms).
