Vicsport represents and supports its members in order to “encourage and assist more Victorians and Victorian communities to enjoy the enormous benefits that sport and active recreation can provide”. For over 30 years Vicsport has provided advice, assistance and support to its members and the broader sports community. Through our extensive network, Vicsport’s constituency includes 16,000 clubs and associations, and over 1.8 million participants, paid staff and volunteers who make a significant contribution to the social, physical, mental and economic wellbeing of the Victorian community. VICSPORT’S STRATEGIC PRIORITIES AND INITIATIVES Vicsport’s Strategic Plan 2014-2016 outlines the organisation’s strategic priorities, outcomes and deliverables. These priorities directly respond to key issues facing the sport and active recreation sector that have been identified through a sector consultation process, evaluation of Vicsport’s key learnings and a review of participation data and research. These priority areas also take into account the policies and strategies of national and state governments, portfolio agencies and key funding bodies. Vicsport’s four priority areas are: 1 New, social and non-affiliated (pay-as-you-play) participants; 2 Member capacity and networking (governance, participation, membership and commercial models); 3 Workforce development (including skilled volunteers); 4 Demonstrate whole-of-government health, social and economic benefits of sport. Vicsport has also identified two industry issues that are cross-cutting and relevant across each priority area: 1 Safe, inclusive and fair sport; 2 Monitoring, evaluating and demonstrating impact.
