We commit to a culture of challenge and care so our athletes and staff can perform at their best and reach their potential.
We commit to creating safe and thriving environments for our people to fail so they can learn, grow and succeed.

What we do

ACTAS prioritises support and resources to categorised athletes through National Sporting Organisation High Performance Agreements, an Individual Athlete Program, and a Paralympic Unit Program. Athletes supported in these programs are deemed as having potential to achieve future podium performance at the relevant pinnacle or benchmark event that range from state, national and international level and aims to develop and support them to progress towards the podium.
