Australia is renowned as a sporting nation. Our athletes’ sporting wins at the Commonwealth Games, Summer and Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games in recent times have set unparalleled performance benchmarks exemplifying our nation’s international competitiveness and success.

- how best to invest in the AIS, and;
- consideration of the institute’s optimal location.

They will report to the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government and Minister for Aged Care and Sport.
