The NSW Institute of Sport (NSWIS), located at Sydney Olympic Park, was established as a statutory body under the Institute of Sport Act, 1995 following a review recommending central coordination and monitoring of high performance sports programs. Operations officially commenced in 1996. Today the Institute has almost 700 high performance athletes on squad or individual scholarships and offers 31 sport programs across 24 sports.

The specialist services ensure that NSWIS athletes have access to leading edge coaching and sports technology while also receiving tailored support to help balance their elite sporting commitments with personal development and a career.
