The Department of Sport, Racing and Olympic and Paralympic Games
The Department of Sport, Racing and Olympic and Paralympic Games empowers Queenslanders to enjoy physical activity to improve their health and wellbeing in active communities. We do this through grant funding, infrastructure and planning, events and world-class venues. We work in conjunction with other agencies responsible for the governance and administration of the racing industry in Queensland. We’re working with Games delivery partners to facilitate the best possible outcomes for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games and their legacies across the state.
