Vision

“Productive nation, healthy communities, active individuals”

NSC aims to contribute to the health, wellbeing and productivity of the nation. The vision sets out a three-step approach to achieving this. The aspiration is for the nation to be productive because it has healthy communities made up of active individuals engaged in physical recreation and sport.

Mission

“A nationally and internationally recognised leader that commits to access and participation by all in the sport and physical recreation sector”

NSC will ensure it operates in a manner that cements its place as the focal point for all organisations and agencies involved in sport, from grassroots to an elite level. One of NSC’s priorities is to build its leadership role in research, development and innovation, as well as overall contribution to active individuals, healthy outcomes for communities and a productive nation.

Leaders – embracing good governance and providing strategic direction to qualified, skilled and knowledgeable staff and stakeholders.
Inclusive – breaking down barriers and creating an accessible environment in which people from different backgrounds, gender, abilities and beliefs can feel safe in coming together to learn, have fun and pursue their sport and physical recreation activities.
Innovative – trying new things in an environment in which it is safe to experiment.
Community-minded – working with people and communities from grassroots to national level ensuring that they start with what they know and build on what they have.

Principles

Integrity – consistently honest, following through on commitments and taking responsibility for our actions.
