Australian Sport Awards

The Australian Sport Awards originally called the Sport Australia Awards were established by the Confederation of Australian Sport in 1980.[1] From 1980 to 1996, the awards were limited to seven categories. In 1993, there was a merger of the Sport Australia Awards and the ABC Sports Award of the Year.[2]

Dawn Fraser Award was introduced in 2000 to reflect the achievements and standing of Dawn Fraser in Australia and on the international sporting stage.[3]
