VIS Open Day 2024

JOIN US AT THE VIS OPEN DAY 2024

Rub shoulders with Australia’s 2024 Olympic and Paralympic heroes

The VIS Open Day is just around the corner and with it the chance to meet VIS Olympians and Paralympians. 

This year’s Open Day will serve as an unofficial welcome home celebration for some of Victoria’s brightest stars as they return from competing at the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. 

The 2024 VIS Open Day, on October 2, will serve as an unofficial welcome home celebration for some of the VIS stars of Paris, among them Olympic medallists Jemima Montag and Rhydian Cowley. Melbourne Vixens, Jo Weston and Hannah Mundy, will also be among the stellar lineup of athletes in attendance.

The free event will also offer fans the opportunity to learn from high performance sports experts – the people who prepare our Olympians, Paralympians and world and national champions – to participate in sports activities and the chance to explore the inner workings of the VIS high performance facility.

More than 1000 Victorians enjoyed the 2023 Open Day. This year’s event promises to be even bigger with over 15 sporting organisations showcasing their sports and expertise.

When: Wednesday 2 October 2024

Where: VIS Headquarters at Lakeside Stadium in Albert Park
