The purpose of this Junior Sport Policy is to ensure the provision of opportunity to all young Australians to develop and enrich their lives through sport. To this end, the Policy contains a framework and
guidelines for those responsible for the development, organisation, and conduct of junior sport, including guidelines for a coordinated and complementary approach to sport in schools and in the community. This Policy is premised on the principle of social justice and the belief that sport, when presented and organised properly, is an important educational and developmental area that offers
benefits to both the individual and to Australian society.
