Testimonials
Aussie Athlete Fund
Many talented young athletes are denied the opportunity to pursue their dreams of representing Australia because they or their families simply can’t afford to fund the escalating costs associated with training and competitions.
The requirement for international travel, equipment, coaching, food and accommodation can make green and gold dreams out of reach, especially for athletes from remote, rural and First Nations communities.
As the next generation of athletes set their sights on Brisbane and beyond, Nat is inviting fellow athletes and corporate supporters to get behind our nation’s sporting future.
