The Queensland Academy of Sport (QAS) is on a bold journey towards Brisbane 2032 and beyond.

Our ambitious high-performance strategy for the 2032 Games is to create more medal-winning moments for Queensland athletes that inspire their state and nation. While our strategy guides our performance, our culture truly delivers it. Given our vision, our culture is vitally important to us.
