The Victorian Institute of Sport is supporting Victoria's elite athletes as they pursue success in sport and life.
About us
The Victorian Institute of Sport (VIS) helps elite Victorian athletes become the best of the best on the world stage. It was established in 1990 by the State Government as a private trustee company, with its Board of Directors appointed by the Victorian Minister for Sport. The VIS is located at Lakeside Stadium, Albert Park. It is a non-residential institute, which utilises Melbourne’s outstanding sporting facilities, to allow high performance athletes to live and train in Melbourne. The VIS is funded by the State Government through Sport & Recreation Victoria, the Commonwealth Government through the Australian Sports Commission, National and State Sporting Associations and corporate sector sponsors. The VIS awards scholarships to approximately 450 talented Victorian athletes from over 50 sports on an annual basis. Both able-bodied athletes & athletes with a disability have scholarships. VIS scholarships provide athletes with access to coaching, sport science and sports medicine services, career and education advice, and training and competition support. There are three scholarship programs available: Tier 1, Individual and Future Talent. The current Tier 1 sports are; Aerial skiing, Athletics, Cycling, Diving, Golf, Hockey, Netball, Rowing, Sailing, Shooting, Swimming. Athletes with an Individual Scholarship compete in sports which do not have a VIS Tier 1 sports program. VIS athletes with an Individual Scholarship come from a wide range of sports which may change each year, such as badminton, BMX, boxing, lawn bowls, snowboarding and many more. Future Talent scholarships are for talented athletes who show outstanding potential for future success but are not yet eligible for a full scholarship due to age or selection criteria restrictions; once identified they are provided with VIS support services to “fast track” their development.

It was a pleasure to welcome Natalie Hutchins MP to the Victorian Institute of Sport today. The Minister for Jobs and Industry, Minister for Treaty and First Peoples and Minister for Women met with Paris bound VIS athletes Catherine Skinner and Reece Langdon and emerging triple jump star Aiden Hinson on a tour of the home of Victorian high-performance sport led by VIS CEO Anne Marie Harrison. The visit served as a farewell for Skinner, the Rio Olympic trap shooting gold medallist, and Langdon, a first-time Paralympic middle-distance runner, but also as a reminder of the support the Victorian Government and the VIS provides to over 450 athletes aspiring, like Hinson, to become Olympians, Paralympians and world champions. #Paris2024 #Victoria

"I found myself in the club that no athlete wants to join: the circle of ‘almost Olympians’." It's important to acknowledge that while this time of year is filled with tears of relief and elation for some, for many others, it's utter devastation. VIS diver, Georgia Sheehan reflects on the reality of missing out on the Olympic dream in her story published by Vogue Australia. Thank you for sharing, Georgia. 💙 Read now: https://lnkd.in/guP5PFqr
