The Sport Australia Hall of Fame was established on 10 December 1985 to recognise the achievements of Australian sportsmen and sportswomen.[1] The inaugural induction included 120 members with Sir Don Bradman as the first inductee and Dawn Fraser the first female inductee. [1] In 1989, the Hall of Fame was expanded to include associate members who have assisted in the development of sport in Australia. In 2012, there were 518 members. [2] Each year the Hall of Fame inducts notable retired athletes, associate members and upgrades one member to 'legend' status.
The main award each year is the 'Don' Award but other awards include Team Sport Australia Award, Spirit of Sport Award and Hall of Fame Moments.[3]
The National Sports Museum located at the Melbourne Cricket Ground houses the Sport Australia Hall of Fame. [3]
