Oceania National Olympic Committees

What Oceania National Olympic Committees does

Oceania National Olympic Committees (ONOC) is a non-profit continental association established in 1981 at Baden-Baden, West Germany, and one of five Continental Associations within the Olympic Movement. Headquartered in Suva, Fiji with a regional office in Maite, Guam, ONOC coordinates the activities of 17 full-member National Olympic Committees and 7 Associate Members spanning Australia, New Zealand, and 15 Pacific Island nations and territories. The organization's mandate is governance facilitation, athlete representation, sports education, anti-doping coordination, and Olympic Solidarity program administration across the region.

ONOC's core operational assets are its website platform (oceanianoc.org, overhauled in 2020) and a portfolio of programs including the Oceania Sport Education Programme (OSEP, established 2007), Olympic Solidarity coordination, Sports Integrity initiatives (including the IOC-affiliated "Believe in Sport" campaign), Pre-Games Training Camps, the Voices of the Athletes (VOA) programme, Resource Centre, and Oceania Sports Information Centre. ONOC pioneered digital adoption in the Olympic Movement, launching the first Continental Association website in 1997-98 and the first international web-based Games Management System for the 2003 South Pacific Games. Service delivery runs through direct coordination with member NOCs, the Olympic Solidarity funding channel, OSEP trainers across 15 Pacific countries, and partnerships with bodies including the Pacific Games Council, ORADO, OSFO, IOC, ANOC, ASC, and University of the South Pacific.

ONOC operates as a member-funded non-profit with no commercial product sales; revenue is derived from Olympic Solidarity grants from the IOC (funded by Olympic broadcast rights) and membership contributions from NOCs. The organization is governed by an Executive Board led by President Baklai Temengil and Secretary General Ricardo Blas, with oversight from a General Assembly of all 17 member NOCs. The organization is currently in a Reset phase under its Strategic Plan 2025-2028, with constitutional reforms scheduled for presentation at the May 2026 Annual General Assembly in Auckland.

Product overview

The Oceania National Olympic Committees (ONOC) operates primarily as a regional sports organization rather than a technology product company.

Supporting this are programmes including the Oceania Sport Education Programme (OSEP) - its flagship sports education initiative, Olympic Solidarity coordination, Sports Integrity initiatives, Pre-Games Training Camps, and athlete support services such as the Voices of the Athletes (VOA) programme. Additional services include the Resource Centre, Oceania Sports Information Centre, Oceania Village cultural showcase, Countdown Campaign with Olympic Channel, and the Shared Services Programme for member NOCs during Olympic Games.
