HART Sport and Athletics Australia announce a new 3-year partnership

HART Sport is excited to announce a dynamic three-year partnership with Athletics Australia, the national governing body responsible for promoting and developing athletics across the country. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in our commitment to enhancing sports education and promoting healthy living and wellbeing through quality athletic equipment and initiatives. 

As the preferred athletics equipment supplier of Athletics Australia, we at HART Sport are dedicated to supporting athletes from the grassroots to elite levels with the best-in-class tools they need to succeed.  

For over 30 years HART Sport has proudly serviced Australian sporting clubs, schools and weekend warriors. With over 3,500 products to choose from, HART Sport makes it easier than ever for clubs to access high-quality equipment at more affordable prices. Best of all, over 700 products are proudly Australian Made in our Brisbane factory. 

HART Sport has been a long time supplier of equipment to Athletics Australia for programs such as Sporting Schools and the formalisation of a partnership will continue to support this as well as Next Athletics, the official junior athletics program of Athletics Australia. HART Sport will create opportunities for coaches to purchase high quality equipment that will in turn support the growth of athletics in Australia. 

This partnership extends beyond merely supplying equipment—it's about actively engaging with the athletics community to foster a deeper appreciation and understanding of the sport. 

Dan Benham, General Manager of HART Sport, shared his enthusiasm for the new partnership, saying, "We are incredibly proud to partner with Athletics Australia. It's a fantastic opportunity to support not only the athletes but also the broader community to engage with and enjoy athletics. Our goal is to help nurture lifelong participation in sports, from young children just starting out, to adult athletes striving for excellence, and elite athletes continuing their passion for competition. With the Brisbane 2032 Olympics and Paralympics on the horizon, hopefully we can support young athletes to pursue their Olympic and Paralympic dreams!" 

Athletics Australia, recognised by World Athletics; the Australian Olympic Committee; Paralympics Australia; Commonwealth Games Australia; and the Australian Sports Commission, plays a vital role in shaping the athletic landscape in Australia. Through this partnership, we aim to contribute to their mission by making athletics more accessible and appealing to all Australians, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to participate and benefit from athletics. 

“We are thrilled to find a partner in HART Sport that understands the importance of supporting the wider community through educational opportunities and high quality equipment. The collaboration is set to enrich our sport by focussing on programs designed for our coaches, and in turn, will help expand our reach and provide more opportunities that underscore the importance of physical activity,” Athletics Australia CEO Peter Bromley said. 

“Together, we are committed to fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of athletics, and we look forward to having them as part of the Athletics Australia family.” 

At HART Sport, we are looking forward to the amazing possibilities this partnership holds. We believe that together with Athletics Australia, we can make a lasting impact on the athletic community and help shape the future of sport in Australia. Join us as we embark on this exciting journey, promoting excellence and well-being through athletics.
