Recreation programming concepts including the principles of program design, marketing and budgeting are examined.

In this unit, the inclusion of diverse population groups in sport and recreation, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, culturally and linguistically diverse communities, and people with physical disabilities are emphasised and valued.
