Looking back on the 2016/17 operating year, there are several significant moments worthy of reflection. The consolidation of Women Sport & Recreation NSW under the Sport NSW umbrella has made our organisation stronger, both at Board / Advisory Group level and from a member services standpoint. This in part has been due to adding a full-time staff member (Sophie Milton) in late September 2016 to help engage our membership and promote Girls Get Active days. From Sophie’s commencement we ran four Girls Get Active events (Lake Macquarie, Maitland, Randwick and Northern Beaches) for teenage girls promoting active and healthy lifestyles as well as introducing girls to a variety of their sporting role models and new sporting options. Pleasingly, we are already on track to double the number of these events we run in the new financial year. The continued rise of women in sport and female participation growth in NSW is something we should all celebrate. We also welcomed Variety – The Children’s Charity NSW, as our new partner for the Activate Inclusion Sports Days program. These days are run to ensure that children of all abilities can participate in sport programs, despite their physical or intellectual challenges. We were delighted to run the first Activate Inclusion Sports Day in Blacktown Council in May and look forward to delivering a minimum of twelve of these events per year as part of our partnership with Variety in the years ahead. Sport NSW had 115 members in 2016/17, the highest number for many years. As well as growing in the traditional sporting membership categories, our new Local Council category has had a great start with 23 Councils choosing to join Sport NSW. The addition of Local Councils within the membership has helped drive improved community awareness and enabled enhanced interactions between our SSO members and their Council counterparts. This is an increasingly important connection as we continue to collaborate on community facility projects, regional/state/national events, sporting carnivals, education courses, training and participation tracking. I would like to acknowledge Sport NSW CEO, Darren Simpson and his management team, for driving this opportunity and continuing to provide a strong conduit between these two sectors. The Board is also excited to host the inaugural NSW Champions of Sport Ceremony on 27 November 2017, incorporating for the first time the NSW Sports Awards and NSW Hall of Champions Induction in the one event. This project has been in the planning for some time and I would like to acknowledge the leadership and collaboration of Alan Whelpton AO and his team, Sydney Olympic Park Authority, the Office of Sport and our team at Sport NSW who have all worked tirelessly over the past year to bring this exciting concept to fruition. In closing, I would like to thank Sport NSW Directors, Carolyn Campbell (Deputy Chair), Ross Bidencope (Chair of Finance), Greg Meagher, Tracie Edmondson, Susan Horwitz and new Directors in 2016/17, Andrew Hore, Gregory Will, Chris Hall and Elisa Holmes. All of our Directors volunteer their time to ultimately make the sport sector stronger in NSW and we are fortunate to have such a diverse, respected and talented Board. Thank you to all of our Sport NSW members for their continued support, our NSW Government Partners at the Office of Sport and the Department of Family & Community Services, and our corporate partners. We look forward to working with you all again in 2017/18 and seeing everyone at the NSW Champions of Sport on 27 November 2017 at Rosehill Racecourse.

  • NSW Shines in Paralympic Medal Tally
    NSW shines in Paralympic medal tally 30 September 2008 Premier Nathan Rees today congratulated New South Wales’ Paralympic athletes who returned from Beijing with an impressive 48 medals. The Premier said we should all be proud of the 37 athletes from NSW who contributed to Australia’s final tally of 79 medals. “Not only are they world class athletes but they are outstanding role models for us all,” Mr Rees said. “NSW athletes returned with 16 gold, 18 silver and 14 bronze medals,” he said. The Paralympic team featured two of New South Wales’ Don’t DIS my ABILITY ambassadors – Athletics gold medallist Kurt Fearnley from Carcoar and Beacon Hill medal- winning cyclist Lindy Hou. “As ambassadors, Kurt Fearnley and Lindy Hou spread the message that people with a disability can lead everyday lives,” Mr Rees said. “They – like their team mates returning from Beijing – are an inspiration to others. “Every person who competed in the Paralympics returns to Australia a winner and an ambassador for people with a disability. “Their hard work, sacrifice and determination have been rewarded as they compete with the best athletes in the world.” Minister for Disability Services Paul Lynch said the Paralympians were an inspiration to the State’s 1.3 million people living with a disability. “People with a disability can do anything – the efforts of our Paralympians are proof of that,” Mr Lynch said. Minister for Sport and Recreation Kevin Greene said the New South Wales Institute of Sport had played a role in supporting the 36 athletes. “The Institute has been part of the Paralympic journey, providing scholarships and programs to give our athletes the support they need to perform to their capacity on the world stage,” Mr Greene said.

  • Legislative Assembly- PROOF Page 1
    Tuesday, 4 August 2020 Legislative Assembly- PROOF Page 1 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Tuesday, 4 August 2020 The Speaker (The Hon. Jonathan Richard O'Dea) took the chair at 12:00. The Speaker read the prayer and acknowledgement of country. [Notices of motions given.] Bills GAS LEGISLATION AMENDMENT (MEDICAL GAS SYSTEMS) BILL 2020 First Reading Bill introduced on motion by Mr Kevin Anderson, read a first time and printed. Second Reading Speech Mr KEVIN ANDERSON (Tamworth—Minister for Better Regulation and Innovation) (12:16:12): I move: That this bill be now read a second time. I am proud to introduce the Gas Legislation Amendment (Medical Gas Systems) Bill 2020. The bill delivers on the New South Wales Government's promise to introduce a robust and effective licensing regulatory system for persons who carry out medical gas work. As I said on 18 June on behalf of the Government in opposing the Hon. Mark Buttigieg's private member's bill, nobody wants to see a tragedy repeated like the one we saw at Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital. As I undertook then, the Government has taken the steps necessary to provide a strong, robust licensing framework for those persons installing and working on medical gases in New South Wales. To the families of John Ghanem and Amelia Khan, on behalf of the Government I repeat my commitment that we are taking action to ensure no other families will have to endure as they have. The bill forms a key part of the Government's response to licensed work for medical gases that are supplied in medical facilities in New South Wales.

The DSA Board of Directors met on the 29th March with the following key developments being highlighted: 1. Future Funding – this area will cover our ongoing organizational funding from the Australian Sports Commission as well as a revamped Active Deaf Kids Program. The ADK model and the new ADK Strategic Plan 2014 - 2017 will still concentrate on multi sports days but the aim will be to work with a number of specific partners to ensure the children (and families) are aware of the pathways, bridges (to clubs) and choices that are available in pursing the opportunity to play a sport(s). In addition partnerships with National Sporting Organisations will see continual roll out of inclusion / awareness programs. 2. New Membership Structure – discussions are ongoing with a number of sports. A working party has been formed to go through a number of issues. 3. Board Evaluation by Board Members has commenced together with a skills analysis that is aimed at developing a constructive succession plan for Board and staff members. 4. 2016 Australian Deaf Games – the Game Organising Committee should be appointed by the end of the month. Currently in place is the Business Plan, Marketing Plan, Sport Agreement, Games Hub, central accommodation site and tentative bookings on a number of venues. 5. Expressions of interests will be forwarded to seek appointments for the Chef de Mission for the upcoming 2015 Asia Pacific Deaf games and the 2017 Deaflympics.

  • Formerly Australian Athletes with a Disability
    Formerly Australian Athletes With a Disability CONTENTS Message from the ASC 1 Executive Officer and Chair’s Report 3 Strategic Direction 7 Strategy 9 Marketing Report 11 Project Funding 13 Member Organisations 14 Sports Programs 15 Sports Committees 20 Governance 21 Board Profiles 25 Major Partners and Stakeholders 27 MESSAGE FROM THE AUSTRALIAN SPORTS COMMISSION The Australian Sports Commission (ASC) is committed to ensuring Australian athletes excel in the international sporting arena, and increasing Australians’ participation in sport. These two clear objectives are mutually reinforcing – international success inspires Australians to participate in sport and greater participation helps nurture our future champions. Sport inspires individuals, unites communities and encourages active lifestyles. Success at the international level has become even more challenging for Australian athletes. Traditional competitors keep getting better, and rising countries are becoming forces to be reckoned with. Our tenth placing in the medal table at the London Olympic Games continued a downward trend over the past three games. Through Australia’s Winning Edge 2012-2022, our game plan to move Australian sport from world class to world best, we are changing the role of the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) and the delivery of the high performance program, improving the financial performance and position of national sporting organisations (NSOs) and strengthening the governance structures and standards of NSOs. We have initiated a fundamental reform process to improve Australian sport, by linking high performance sports funding more closely with performance; ensuring the AIS is the world’s best high performance sports institute; modernising governance structures in a number of sports; investing to improve coaching, leadership skills, talent identification and innovation in Australian sport; and reinforcing public confidence in the integrity of sport.
