The plan reaffirms the VIS’s enduring commitment to empower athletes to succeed – not only in sport, but in life while uniting Victorians to share in their pursuit of greatness.
As the countdown to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games begins, the new VIS strategy puts Victorian athletes at the forefront of Australia’s sporting ambitions. Backed by more than 35 years of proven excellence, the VIS is stepping into its next chapter with renewed drive and unwavering commitment.
VIS Chief Executive Officer, Nicole Livingstone AO, said “the strategy celebrates the organisations proud heritage while driving bold ambitions for the decade ahead”.
“This is a promise to every athlete, coach, and supporter: the VIS will be a launchpad for sporting greatness and personal growth”, Livingstone said.
“We’re building an environment where our athletes can soar and where Victorians are inspired by their journey”.
The Strategic Plan is anchored by two key horizons:
2025 – 2028: Accelerating High Performance
2029 – 2032: Delivering World-Class Performance to 2032 and Beyond
With four pillars set to drive the strategy: Performance Excellence, Athlete Focused – Coach Led, Collaborative Sporting Systems, and Sustainable Success.
At the heart of the plan lies a clear vision; VIS athletes are thriving and succeeding on the big stage and inspiring Victorians.
To bring this vision to life, the VIS will uphold a renewed core value statement, to champion the pursuit of excellence with purpose, integrity, ambition, and collaboration.
Principles that define the VIS culture and drive collective success.
A defining focus of the strategy is preparation for Brisbane 2032, a once-in-a-generation opportunity to support Victorian athletes as they perform at a home Games.
The VIS is arming athletes with expert support and world-class facilities enabling them to leave an enduring mark far beyond the field of play.
“We’re writing the future of Victorian and Australian sport”, Livingstone said. “Together, we’ll set the standard for success and inspiration for years to come”.
