Australian Olympic Committee approves permanent Indigenous voice on the AOC Athletes’ Commission
The Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) amended its statutes at its Annual General Meeting to ensure that there is a permanent Indigenous presence on the AOC Athletes’ Commission.
Based on the approved amendment there will need to be at least one Aboriginal and one Torres Strait Island representative on the Commission.
These members may be elected by athletes competing at a Summer or Winter Games – or directly appointed by the AOC Executive following advice from the AOC Indigenous Advisory Committee (IAC), if no Indigenous athletes were elected.
