NSW Institute of Sport (NSWIS)
The NSW Institute of Sport (NSWIS), located at Sydney Olympic Park, was established as a statutory body under the Institute of Sport Act, 1995 following a review recommending central coordination and monitoring of high performance sports programs. Operations officially commenced in 1996. Today the Institute has almost 700 high performance athletes on squad or individual scholarships and offers 31 sport programs across 24 sports.
Our specialist services ensure that NSWIS athletes have access to leading edge coaching and sports technology while also receiving tailored support to help balance their elite sporting commitments with personal development and a career.
Under our innovative Mobile/Regional program, the NSWIS offers a comprehensive spectrum of support services to NSWIS athletes in their home environment, enabling them to pursue their sporting careers with minimal disruption to their family, education and employment.
The Institute’s Principal Partner is ClubsNSW, who provides $1 million a year in sponsorship support.
