List of charities established by Australian athletes

Australian athletes have established non-for-profit foundations to assist a range of causes including sporting opportunities, medical research, social disadvantage, disability and indigenous development. Several foundations have been established as a result of family members suffering certain medical conditions. It is argued that these athletes are giving back to the community and are good role models.[1] Some of the foundations have closed due to difficulties in fund raising [2] and accountability issues in financial management.[3]
