The QAS recently appointed a new Chief Executive and have undertaken a strategic review. We have a bold and ambitious vision and strategy, working in close partnership with sports, to enable more medal-winning moments by Queensland Athletes to ultimately inspire the State and the Nation ahead.

A first for the QAS in Townsville 🙌

With the support of RACQ, our Talent Identification team held its first-ever First Nations testing session in Townsville.

The session created greater access for First Nations athletes to showcase their potential and connect with opportunities across Olympic and Paralympic sporting pathways.

A proud step towards making talent pathways more accessible across Queensland.
