Welcome

Sport and recreation is firmly embedded in our culture, with research showing that the majority of Victorians either directly participate in or support some form of activity. Sport and Recreation Victoria maximises both the community value of physical activity and the considerable value of the sport and recreation sector to the Victorian economy.
