The final session of the Australian Olympic Committee's (AOC) Wellbeing Series event has seen a panel of athletes and experts discuss how sport can contribute to a sustainable future.

Britt Cox, a four-time Olympic mogul skier, was joined by Tokyo 2020 diver Sam Fricker, head of sustainability at the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup Sheila Nguyen, and director of sustainability at Tennis Australia Matthew Nicholas.

AOC chief executive Matt Carroll said the meeting highlighted the importance for sports to integrate sustainability within their organisations.

"The Olympic Movement has both a duty and an opportunity to contribute actively to global sustainability in line with our vision: 'Building a better world through sport'," said Carroll.

"As signatories to the United Nations' Sports for Climate Action Framework, the AOC is supporting the goals of the Paris Agreement and committing to taking positive and practical action for sustainability.

"It was fantastic to host today's panel bringing together Olympians and experts from within our member sports to share their insight on sustainability within sports.


"With today's panel concluding our Wellbeing Series for 2022, I want to wholeheartedly thank our partner Allianz for their incredible support in sparking meaningful conversations and empowering Olympians to share their stories about issues of wellbeing that affect all Australian communities.

"We look forward to continuing to work with our Sustainability Advisory Working Group, our member sports and other stakeholders to achieve our sustainability goals."

The session was held in Brisbane and livestreamed across AOC channels.

The Wellbeing Series has gathered key voices to share conversations on mental wellbeing, social inclusion through sport and how to tackle fears.

"The Wellbeing Series not only normalises but celebrates the importance of having open conversations around mental health, as well as sheds positive light on topics like collaborating towards a sustainable future," said Allianz Australia general manager of marketing Renee Davidson.
