The Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) is the National Olympic Committee for Australia, founded in 1895 and headquartered in Sydney, one of only a small number of nations to have competed at every Summer Olympic Games since 1896. It selects and funds Australia's Olympic team, coordinated the country's hosting of the 1956 Melbourne and 2000 Sydney Summer Olympics, and is preparing Australia's third hosting for the 2032 Brisbane Summer Olympics.
