Located at Sydney Olympic Park in Sydney, the institute was established as a statutory body under the Institute of Sport Act, 1995, following a review recommending central coordination and monitoring of high performance sports programs in New South Wales. Operations officially commenced in 1996. Over the course of 2021, the institute developed 564 athletes, across 46 sports in 18 programs.[2] The aim of the services is to ensure that NSWIS athletes have access to coaching and sports technology while also receiving tailored support to help balance their sporting commitments with personal development and a career.
The agency is responsible to the Minister for Sport.[3] Ultimately, the minister is responsible to the Parliament of New South Wales.
