In addition to this support, individual clubs around NSW have also sponsored the Institute's sport programs. The Bankstown District Sports Club is a long time supporter of the hugely successful NSWIS cycling program. The Mingara Recreation Centre is located on the Central Coast and is an NSWIS Central High Performance Centre and Bexley Golf Club is a partner of the NSWIS Golf Program.
ClubsNSW has extended its support of the Institute until the end of 2012 giving our State's elite athletes financial certainty through the London Olympic Games.
The NSWIS and ClubsNSW have also joined together to deliver an initiative called the Employ an Athlete Program. For further information, click here.
