In the pursuit of athletic excellence, each and every athlete selected in the Australian Olympic Team has endured a life time of personal sacrifice - testing their minds and bodies in a relentless personal battle of training and competition.

Fortunately for the athletes, there exists a vast network of support to aid their ambitions of competing at the Games to their fullest potential.

This network extends from the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) through to all Australian States and their respective State Councils. The New South Wales Olympic Council (NSWOC) is an integral element in this team.

Just as the AOC has the role of ensuring the best possible Australian Team is presented at the start line at each Olympic Games – so too does the NSWOC have the role of aiding this process.

The NSWOC is charged with two primary functions:

• to raise funds to support the Australian Olympic Team; and
• to promote the Olympic Movement.
