Get Active Victoria is inspiration for all Victorians – to move more, every day. There is an ever-growing range of resource of ideas, tips and tools on how to be more active – there is something for everyone.

The Sport Participation Research Project looks at sport participation trends from 2015–17 from 12 major Victorian state sporting associations, representing Australian football, basketball, bowls, cricket, football (soccer), golf, gymnastics, hockey, netball, sailing, swimming and tennis.
