Athletes have welcomed the Australian Government’s decision to invest a record $283 million in sport over the next two years.

The impact of this historic investment, which doubles the existing support for para sport, was not lost on the dozens of athletes in attendance, including Olympic legend Cate Campbell. “Athletes don't reach the pinnacle of their sport overnight,” Cate Campbell said. “There are years and years spent working and toiling away to get to the point where you can compete for your country, so to support up-and-coming athletes become elite athletes is so important.” Cate Campbell especially welcomed the $17.6 million investment over two years to the Direct Athlete Support Grants (dAIS) to address cost of living pressures.
