Future Green and Gold

Interested in becoming a future green and gold athlete?

We’re looking for Australians aged 13+ who are keen to put their sporting skills to the ultimate test.

The Future Green and Gold campaign will be the nation’s greatest ever talent search, with a goal to find hidden sporting talent across the country.

From rugby to para canoe, there are more than 40 sports ready to welcome a new wave of athletes.

If you haven’t tried sport before, don’t worry – no sporting experience is required to take part. The talent search is designed to help guide you towards a sport you may be best suited to.

The opportunity is also open to current high-performance athletes who are looking to transition into a different sport.

Future Green and Gold is a partnership between the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS), the National Institute Network, national sporting organisations, and Paralympics Australia. Some states have existing Talent Programs which this campaign will support.

The Talent Search events for 2024 have concluded.

To be notified of Talent Search opportunities in 2025, please select your state and Talent Search or Paralympic Talent Search if you are a person living with a disability/impairment, and provide your contact information.
