AUSTRALIAN SPORTS COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2016–17 ANNUAL PERFORMANCE STATEMENTS our performance We want more Australians, particularly young Australians, participating in sport more often. Play.Sport.Australia., our participation game plan, sets out how the ASC can best support national participation outcomes. Our ambitions for sport are simple; at the national level we want to see more Australians participating in sport and at the individual sport level we want to see sports in which the ASC invests achieving year on year membership and participation growth. To achieve this, the ASC will develop and share research and data including intelligence from the AusPlay national participation survey to better understand what is happening in sport, support the network that supplies sport — our sporting organisations — and help drive demand for lifelong participation in sport and physical activity through delivery of the Sporting Schools program.
