QSport

QSport is calling for the incoming State Government to ensure investment and support in sport reflects and reinforces the central role sport plays in the lives of Queenslanders and their communities while also effectively leveraging the commercial opportunities available in the build-up to Brisbane 2032. In consultation with SSOs, the Queensland Olympic Council (QOC) and other sporting bodies, QSport has prepared an Election Brief that identifies four priorities that the next State Government must work in partnership with sport to address; organisational capability, places and spaces for sport, sport workforce development and Brisbane 2032 Games readiness and legacy. Key challenges include: ➡️ Sports cannot secure Government investment in attracting and hosting international events in Queensland in the lead-up to 2032, squandering the economic benefits and opportunities to develop a local Games-ready workforce they would provide ➡️ Sports are being invited by international federations to host test events ahead of 2032, and international teams want to begin training in Queensland, but the required facilities are not available ➡️ More than 80% of state sporting organisations highlight building and retaining their volunteer workforce as a ‘critical’ or ‘major’ concern READ MORE ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/gQmp7Dwe

How can sport increase disability employment and volunteering? Join us this Thursday at Pat Rafter Arena for a half-day forum delivered in collaboration with Disability Sports Australia that will unpack this question, covering: - how we can create welcoming environments for people with disabilities in sport - insights from leaders with disabilities and community organisations on best practice - tools for developing accessible working environments. And you'll connect with other leaders and organisations across the sector working on this challenge. This event is a 'Building Inclusive Sport Clubs' initiative funded by the Australian Government. Limited places remain and you can register here: https://lnkd.in/gPtctxy8
