Australia is a sporting nation for whom sport is both a passion and big business.

In recent years however, sport has often been in the headlines for the wrong reasons. Much of it goes back to failures in culture and governance. National sporting organisations, clubs and leagues are working to reboot and strengthen their governance frameworks at all levels. Now, COVID-19 has added an additional layer of complexity. It has thrown into disarray the 2020-2021 calendar across sports derailing operations and revenue and challenging sustainability at every level of sport.

Join some of Australia’s leading sports professionals for a timely briefing that will

• unpack good governance
• how it can be embedded at all layers of sport from grass roots to the major leagues and national and state sports bodies
• and what Australian sports must do to recover from the hard stop imposed by COVID-19.

Our panel of leaders will discuss:

• current challenges for sports governance
• commercialisation of sport and the impact on culture
• the pillars of sports governance – leadership, accountability, ethics and performance
• driving performance, strategy and direction – from grass-roots to the national leagues
• keeping stakeholder engagement at the core of responsible decision-making
• how Australian sport can reframe and recover from the challenge posed by the COVID-19 pandemic – implications for players, operations, workforce.
