Sport Australia has announced that the Clearinghouse for Sport has completed a major update of its website.
The Clearinghouse is the information and knowledge-sharing platform for Australian sport, bringing together the country’s leading sport and active recreation Agencies to share news, evidence and insights about sport, human performance, and physical activity.
In a statement, Sport Australia said it was the principal information coordination point of the Clearinghouse, and as such, led the website upgrade.
It said the changes included an improved user experience; improved navigation and search functions; updated content; and removal of outdated material.
“The Clearinghouse offers members access to high-quality information on sport, physical activity and active recreation, and acquires information of relevance to the Australian sport and active recreation sectors,” Sport Australia said.
“It informs Australian athletes, coaches, physical educators, scientists, medical providers, researchers, administrators, students, facility managers, policy-makers, volunteers, and sporting officials about good and promising practice in sport and active recreation.”
It said the Clearinghouse assisted Australian Governments at all levels with comprehensive and policy-relevant analysis of research.
“The Clearinghouse’s 25,000 members performed more than 1.1 million information transactions on the platform in 2019-20. Usage numbers have increased this year with coaches and administrators taking the opportunity during a pause in play due to COVID-19 to research key topics,” it said.
Access to the Clearinghouse is free to registered members and can be accessed at this PS News link.
