Confederation of Australian Sport Proud to Sponsor the National Indigenous Sport Summit

We are thrilled to have the Confederation of Australian Sport (CAS) sponsor the National Indigenous Sport Summit for a second time, having also supported the inaugural summit in 2017. CAS is an organisation dedicated to promoting the importance of community sport and advocating the contribution sport makes to Australia from health, social and economic perspectives. CAS in particular highlights to Government issues requiring increased support and greater recognition and resources – the continuing lack of government support for First Nations sport is a case in point.

CAS has been instrumental in the establishment of the National Indigenous Sport Foundation (NISF) in 2020 and continues its support in pursuing access to resources for Indigenous sport, health and wellbeing from government, corporate and philanthropic sources. CAS supports the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Sport Awards.

CAS conducts important underpinning work for the sport industry including:

• Conducting major events to encourage sport participation throughout life

  • Australian Masters Games  - the 20th Australian Masters Games Canberra 2025

  • World Masters Games  Perth 2029

• Positioning sport as a major contributor to primary healthcare and wellness through:

  • Advocating for the benefits of Charitable status to be made available to sport

  • Social prescribing of sport and physical activity through primary healthcare.

Join us in celebrating the strength, talent, and spirit of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities through sports. With CAS by our side, we are excited to see the impact of our collaboration at this year’s NISS event and beyond.
