Participation in Sport and Active Recreation

(PICSAR)

The PICSAR program has been developed to improve the opportunities for Victorians to participate in sport and active recreation, and live a healthy lifestyle. GippSport has a role in supporting organisations which directly promote physical activity or which promote community health through sport and active recreation.
