CEO Message

Over the last 13 years, PCYC Queensland has worked in close partnership with the Queensland Government to deliver the Indigenous Community Sport and Recreation Program which is aimed at improving the physical, social, and emotional well-being of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people through the delivery of sport and recreation programs that create healthy and safe communities.

PCYC has invested further into the Indigenous Community Sport and Recreation Program through its inkind contribution of approximately $1 million per annum.

This is delivered through access and resources utilised to coordinate and facilitate the delivery of communityidentified physical activity opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, that sit outside funded deliverables. This program platform has increased physical activity participation, recording more than 2,304,255 participation episodes across the program’s footprint in these 38 communities.

I am committed to working with the Queensland Government to explore other possibilities to support future growth in our program service delivery. This will ensure greater returns for the community that will continue to provide grassroots engagement in sport, recreation, and culture in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
