The Sports Federation of Queensland - QSport
Our mission is to enhance the development of sport in Queensland by working to promote and sustain interest in the development of organised sport in the State.
The Federation is the representative body for organised, affiliated sport in Queensland and by dint of its extensive membership of mainly State sporting organisations representative of their sporting activity throughout Queensland, is accepted by government as the industry peak body for sport in the State.
Established formally in 1992, the Federation is incorporated as an independent industry based collective.
The Queensland Department of Communities contracts the Federation as advocate for the sport sector in Queensland and currently is the largest single financial contributor to the workings of the Federation.

The Department of Communities (Sport and Recreation Services) is responsible for developing and supporting opportunities for Queenslanders to participate in sport and active recreation.
In 2007-08, more than $74 million was invested in Queensland communities to increase participation in sport and recreation through facility development and locally-based participation programs.
The Department recognises the contributions of our industry partners, such as QSport, who are helping us to make Queenslanders Australia's healthiest people.
