The NSW Sports Safety Awards are coordinated by the New South Wales
government to recognise outstanding achievement in the research and
prevention of sports related injuries and the adoption of safe sport
practices.
The NSW Sports Safety Awards are a fundamental component of the Sporting
Injuries Committee's legislative responsibility to increase awareness of
sporting injuries as well as encourage sports practices and research
that reduce the risk and impact of such injuries in NSW.
The NSW Sports Safety Awards are awarded at an annual gala event and
have been held since 1997.
