NSWIS 3

The buildup to a major event is almost as exciting as the event itself, because we often see NSWIS scholarship holders achieving incredible athletic feats which get us excited for what’s ahead. The 2011/12 reporting period was no different, with several NSWIS athletes succeeding on the world stage in preparation for the 2012 olympic and Paralympic Games.

During the course of the reporting period, 17 NSWIS athletes were crowned world champions, five NSWIS athletes were crowned junior world champions and one NSWIS athlete won a youth world championship. While not all of these victorious athletes will compete at the 2012 London Games, the world class results achieved across seven different sport programs highlights the great depth of sporting talent in NSW.

of course we all saw the results of NSWIS swimmers at the 2011 FINA Aquatic World Championships, finishing with some historic performances, but elsewhere there were some equally memorable feats achieved by NSWIS athletes.

Three netballers were part of the victorious Australian Diamonds team at the 2011 Netball World Championships in Singapore, where Australia defeated arch-rivals New Zealand 58-57 in an extra time thriller.

Four rowers and four sailors won world championship

gold at their respective events, paving the way to representation at the 2012 London olympic and Paralympic Games, while canoe slalom athletes Jessica Fox and Rosalyn Lawrence combined to win women’s team C1 gold at the 2011 ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships.

Perhaps most importantly our junior athletes continue to excel on the world stage. Cyclists Jackson Law and Caleb Law triumphed at the 2011 UCI Junior Track Cycling World Championships; three NSWIS rowers achieved world champion status at the junior rowing world championships, and Jake Stein triumphed at the 2011 IAAF World Youth Championships.

Stein’s performance at the youth world championships was of significant importance as he set a new world record in the men’s decathlon en route to gold. Australia’s track & field stocks have grown significantly in recent years, and Stein’s performance in France is a sign of the strength of our rising stars.

It would be remiss of me not to highlight the 2012 London Games, as the Institute is again expected to field a strong contingent of athletes competing for Australia, with 85 athletes scheduled for olympic representation and 43 for Paralympic representation. I have experienced over 50 years of the olympic movement, and every Games is exceptional in its own right.

The preparation for an olympic and Paralympic Games is always a special time, and while the athletes often receive the claim for their accomplishments I must also mention the hard work of the NSWIS staff behind the scenes. The Institute’s coaches, sport science and administration staff works tirelessly to ensure the athletes are as prepared for the Games as they can be, and for that they must be thanked.

Following that I would like to mention the ongoing support of the NSW State Government. They have been pivotal to the Institute since our inception in 1996, and without their backing we would not have achieved the success seen during this reporting period and in years passed.

I would also like to express my sincere thanks to ClubsNSW, the Institute’s Principal Partner. ClubsNSW provide over $1 million a year in sponsorship support, and during an olympic and Paralympic year this assistance is paramount to our success.

Finally, I wish to thank the NSWIS Board, Deputy Chairman Alan Jones Ao and CEo Charles Turner for their continued contribution to successful operation of the NSWIS.

on behalf of the Institute I congratulate all NSWIS athletes, coaches, and staff on their efforts in the preparation for the 2012 London Games. We have a proud history of success at the Games and I’m sure London will be no different.

NSWIS 5

The 2011/12 reporting period was of particular importance for the Institute as the 2012 London olympic and Paralympic Games drew ever closer, with a number of significant athletic achievements positioning NSWIS athletes as potential medallists at the Games.

The Institute will contribute over 80 athletes to the Australian olympic team and over 40 athletes to the Australian Paralympic team in 2012. our contribution to the olympic team is expected to be similar to the 85 who represented the Institute in Beijing, while our Paralympic contingent is expected to be greater than the 36 who competed in 2008.

As a leading high performance sport Institute, our four year focus is the olympic and Paralympic Games. During an olympic year NSWIS staff and resources are especially focused on ensuring the continued success of the Institute at international events.

However, regardless of the results in London, NSWIS athletes have experienced a successful lead in period to the Games, with several being crowned world champions.

It is difficult to forget the outstanding performance of our swimmers at the 2011 FINA Aquatic World Championships, where James Magnussen, Eamon

Earlier this year I had the privilege as the Chairman of ClubsNSW of extending the organisation’s $1 million annual sponsorship to the NSW Institute of Sport until the end of 2016, ensuring our elite athletes have financial certainty through the Rio olympic Games.

ClubsNSW has been the principal sponsor of NSWIS since its inception in 1995. During this time we have watched NSWIS develop some of the world’s best athletes and solidify its place as the leading sporting administrator and trainer in Australia.

As I write this message, 85 NSWIS athletes have just made their way to London as they make their final preparations for the London olympics. A further 43 NSWIS athletes have been selected into Australian Paralympic Team and will soon also be heading to London.

As a lifetime olympic fan, I will watch with pride the heroics of James Magnussen, Dani Samuels and Kurt Fearnley to name just a few, knowing that the sponsorship of ClubsNSW helped these elite athletes realise their sporting potential.

principal partner’s report

Sullivan and Matthew Abood were crowned 4x100m freestyle relay world champions. Magnussen then went on to create history by becoming the first Australian male to win 100m freestyle gold, all while clocking blistering times.

Magnussen’s achievement is particularly noteworthy, given he began training at the Institute under Brant Best in 2010, relocating to the NSWIS headquarters at Sydney olympic Park from Port Macquarie before going on to achieve world champion status.

Several more NSWIS athletes were crowned world champions during the reporting period, including sailors Iain Jensen, Nathan outteridge, Malcolm Page and Tom Slingsby, while rowers Daniel Noonan and Rod Chisholm won world championship gold in their respective events. All six athletes will compete in London.

The 2011 NSWIS Awards Dinner, held at the Australian Turf Club, once again recognised NSWIS athletes, coaches and sport programs for their achievements around the world. Magnussen was awarded the ClubsNSW Male Athlete of the Year for his world championship winning performances, while the Samsung Female Athlete of the Year went to Holly Crawford. Crawford became Australia’s first female snowboard half-pipe world champion in January 2011, an amazing accomplishment and a sign of Australia’s talent in the winter sport arena.

The reporting period has also seen the Institute begin its preparation for life beyond London in the quadrennial leading into the 2016 Rio de Janeiro olympic and Paralympic Games.

There are almost 1,400 clubs in NSW, and virtually every one of them will act as a defacto olympic supporters venue during the Games. There is no place I more enjoy watching elite sporting events than at my local club in the Illawarra. Watching sport at a club ensures I am surrounded by like minded sporting fans. And when Australia wins gold, we celebrate together.

Last year I used my annual report message to briefly touch upon clubs’ fight with the Federal Government which at the time was backing Tasmanian Independent MP Andrew Wilkie in his demand that clubs across the country install technology known as mandatory pre-commitment. The $3 billion price tag of this technology and corresponding 40% decline in gaming revenue would have ensured the closure of hundreds of registered clubs and slashed clubs’ ability to financially support junior and senior sporting teams and athletic equipment.

Fortunately common sense has won out and earlier this year the Prime Minister announced she was ending her agreement with Andrew Wilkie. She instead said mandatory pre-commitment technology would first have to prove its abilities to reduce problem gambling via a trial involving clubs in the ACT. It is a decision that should provide some relief for the 11 million Australians who are a member of a registered club and appreciate the role clubs play in supporting grassroots and professional sports.


over the past 12 months discussions regarding sport inclusion for the next four years have taken place between the Institute and its respective state and national sporting organisations. Although a difficult process, given the current economic climate it is a necessity for the Institute to carefully consider all aspects of sport inclusions for the next four years and make decisions accordingly.

As we embark on this time of change it is important to note those who continue to provide support to the Institute.

The NSW State Government, our Principal Partner ClubsNSW, the NSWIS Board & staff, and our sponsors and partners must all be thanked, as they have allowed the Institute to continue to deliver world class coaching, services and flexible, innovative training environments to our athletes as they strive for gold.

Charles TurnerChief Executive

Lastly, I congratulate the substantial work undertaken by staff at ClubsNSW and NSWIS. Both organisations are blessed to enjoy the outcomes that come from having passionate, talented and hardworking staff. A similar thank you must be extended to my fellow NSWIS board members who are passionate and tireless workers for our state and sporting excellence. Successful sporting partnerships are only possible when both partners give 100% to the outcome. I look forward to our NSWIS athletes being justly rewarded for similar efforts during the 2012 London olympics.

athlete EnvironmentThe NSWIS continued to meet the needs of individual athletes in sport and life by providing an environment that is flexible and of the highest quality. The Institute’s athlete focused approach encouraged monitoring of athletic performance and encompassed four key service priorities:

•Sportingprogression•Healthmanagement•Balanceandattitude•Ethicalbehaviour

The NSWIS continued to offer a decentralised approach to supporting athletes across NSW and provided opportunities in a variety of home based, central, regional, interstate and off-shore environments. Athletes were given extensive access to the NSWIS medical and sport psychology networks, with the Institute continually advancing its technology to enable effective communication and servicing to any athlete location.

Regional athlete assistance included support for travel to competition and NSWIS training camps, subsidised local gym memberships and mobile service delivery. Service delivery included coaching, physiology, biomechanics, strength & conditioning, sport psychology, sport medicine, ACE, nutrition, technical analysis and program management.

The NSWIS home at Sydney olympic Park offered a number of world class facilities, including the NSWIS Training Centre which features a fully equipped gym, 55m indoor running track, an altitude / environment room, recovery centre and integrated sport science laboratories. Additionally, the NSWIS Athlete Lounge, demonstration kitchen, seminar rooms and the Ian Thorpe Theatrette all form part of the facilities that are key to servicing our athletes.

The Institute created an environment in which athletes were able to achieve balance and develop life skills, making the most of their individual circumstances. Achieving the right balance between sport and life began with My Life 1:1 Annual Assessments and was supported by a number of services offered by the NSWIS ACE Unit.

opportunities were provided for athletes through professional partnerships, including a number of education providers, offering development scholarships to NSWIS athletes. NSWIS Marketing, in cooperation with high performance services, created MyNSWIS, a secure portal which gave all NSWIS scholarship holders access to online support from individual service areas.

See Coaching, Athlete and Program Services section of this report for further information, page 16.

Emerging TalentThe NSWIS continued to provide opportunities to talented athletes who showed potential to progress to NSWIS scholarship standards and international success in the future.

The Institute supported 10 Emerging Talent Squad (ETS) programs during the reporting period and worked with targeted partners to identify and develop emerging talent.

The ETS programs underpinned NSWIS sport programs and the success of these programs was demonstrated with 61 athletes progressing from the Emerging Talent Squads to full scholarship status over the past 12 months.

See Coaching, Athlete and Program Services section of this report for further information, page 16.

Values and imageThe Institute promoted ‘values in action’, an initiative encouraging all staff to consider and engage in a review of organisational values. The values of excellence, ethics, accountability, teamwork and social responsibility were affirmed as the foundation of the Institute, helping to provide a desirable working environment by recognising the importance of staff, coaches, athletes and program partners in the effective functioning of the NSWIS.

The Institute enhanced its public image through a number of promotional activities including the 2011 NSWIS Annual Awards Dinner and the launch of the Institute’s new altitude training facility at Sydney olympic Park Aquatic Centre.

The NSWIS Marketing Department continued to develop and maintain relationships with key contacts across all forms of media.

The growth of the Institute’s social media presence continued during the reporting period, with a particular

CoachingThe NSWIS Coach Excellence Program continued to focus on the identification, recruitment, development, supportive management and succession management of potential international, developing international, senior international and world class coaches.

This reporting period’s emphasis was on the development & supportive management of coaches in the lead up to olympic and Paralympic events. Strategic discussions with sports regarding the retention of effective coaches and succession management commenced.

The NSWIS provided additional coaching resources in targeted programs allowing our top coaches to focus on achieving olympic and Paralympic performance targets with athletes. Coaches were encouraged and supported to work directly with national teams to assist in achieving national performance targets and international success.

service, support and innovationThrough a proactive, targeted approach, NSWIS athletes benefited from the provision of high quality services, resources, innovative practices and applied research.

The Institute successfully secured and diversified funding opportunities, and, through the effective management of resources, was able to offer world class sporting services in an innovative manner.

NSWIS athletes were provided access to performance services on a prioritised basis. The NSWIS implemented nationally consistent athlete scholarship selection criteria and scholarship categories for gradual adoption and full implementation by 1 January 2013. By implementing the national framework for athlete scholarships, the NSWIS reinforced support for the principle of supporting athletes in a more equitable fashion, regardless of location.

The Institute established a number of initiatives and projects that aimed to enhance athletic performance, including international training and competition opportunities, rehabilitation funding for athletes and coach development opportunities. In addition, 2012 olympic and Paralympic projects and initiatives continued, encouraging targeted support and management of opportunities aimed at enhancing athlete performance at the 2012 London Games.

Athlete performance was strengthened through research partnerships with various institutions, established by the Applied Research Program (ARP), enhancing the scope of information available to coaches and athletes. Further to this, comprehensive support and training for NSWIS coaches was provided

focus on the 2012 London Games. The platforms, including Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, were used to promote the achievements of athletes, coaches and sport programs to a larger audience than ever before, while also affording the general public the opportunity to interact with the NSWIS on a daily basis.

The Institute worked with Sports Communication Australia to implement the olympic and Paralympic media plan. The core of the plan saw NSWIS athletes gain exposure through various media opportunities in preparation for the 2012 London Games.

As part of the focus on the London 2012 Games, the NSWIS redeveloped its website. The website provides an improved opportunity to promote the NSWIS brand and complements the Institute’s decentralised approach to athlete, coach and sport program support. The redevelopment included a public facing website and a secure section, which will allow coaches, athletes and key stakeholders access to information and resources from a decentralised location.

A consistent, recognisable image was achieved across all marketing activities as the Institute actively developed creative opportunities to generate interest in the NSWIS brand in a cost effective manner.

Telecommunications and security support was also provided for the building’s clients; Communities NSW, Sydney Sports Medicine Centre, Australian Sports Drug Anti-Doping Agency, Australian Waterpolo Incorporated, Diplomacy Consulting and Moves Travel.

See also: Coaching, Athlete and Program Services, page 16, and Marketing, page 14, sections of this report for further information.

LeadershipThrough engagement with key stakeholders, the Institute provided leadership in the sporting environment to coordinate, develop and deliver high performance sporting outcomes.

The Institute positioned itself to influence strategic outcomes in sport by developing targeted relationships critical to achieving athlete performance outcomes.

The NSWIS supported the principles of consistent frameworks for athlete scholarship categories and support regardless of their daily training environment; partnerships focused on delivery of national outcomes; and commitment to developing emerging talent.

During the reporting period, the NSWIS worked with


by the NSWIS Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) Department.

New technology and use of existing technology were constantly being assessed for innovative applications to improve the information provided to coaches and athletes, ensuring the best tools were available to produce results.

Supporting the Institute’s decentralised approach, the NSWIS ICT Department provided solutions for effective communication. These solutions included a unified communication system with Presence, Microsoft office Communicator and Live Meeting, voice mails in each usersinbox,remoteaccessviatheFirepassVPN(virtualprivate network) system, outlook Anywhere enabling access emails via the internet from any location, and ‘push e-mail’ allowing NSWIS emails to be pushed to iPhones and other smart phones.

The development of the Athletic Logic client relationship system continued with the system now used by all units within the NSWIS. A web version of the system has been developed which will provide our partners with access to essential data required during JMC meetings towards the end of 2012. An online athlete scholarship module was also developed; this module will allow athletes to review forms and accept scholarships electronically from 2013.

Microsoft SharePoint 2010 was also introduced within Sport Science and Medical Services and Programs Units to help provide a more functional records management system within NSWIS. The SharePoint system is to be rolled out to the remaining business units in the next 12 months.

See also: Coaching, Athlete and Program Services, page 16, the Applied Research Program, page 25, and Marketing, page 14, sections of this report for further information.

competitionWorld-class competition opportunities were provided to targeted NSWIS athletes and select NSWIS sport programs during the reporting period. These opportunities included both national and international competition, as well as targeted training camps.

The Institute delivered these opportunities in a cost effective manner, with additional funding made available through:

•London Olympic and Paralympic projects–Theprojects were designed to better support identified NSWIS athletes to achieve podium performances in London, and equip all NSWIS athletes, coaches and staff to perform at their best in London as a part of the Australian olympic and Paralympic teams. The project assisted athletes and coaches from the following sports to access competition opportunities in the lead up to the olympic and Paralympic Games;

sport program partners to establish plans for inclusion as NSWIS squad sport programs for the period 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2016. Sport inclusion is based on NSWIS Board approved:

•Squadsportadmissioncriteria,whichdeterminessports to be included

•SportsPriorityFramework,whichdeterminesthelevel and term of support sports are eligible for

The 2013-2016 Sports Priority Framework was developed in line with the nationally consistent nomenclature framework, and includes the following squad sport categories:

•WorldClassfocus–providesaworldclassdailytraining environment, and supports a senior elite, elite development and emerging talent pathway to achieve sustainable success at the senior international level of competition

Priority servicing – 2012 Olympic Games NSWIS Sport Psychologists Ferry Lee and Gerard Faure-Brac, supported by network psychologists, delivered comprehensive services to athletes in the lead up to the olympic Games.

Prior and during the selection campaign, advisory consultation services were provided by the NSWIS to athletes and coaches. This was coupled with core psychology services throughout domestic and international training and events.

Along with on-site servicing, technology was utilised effectively to deliver services to travelling athletes and coaches by phone, email and Skype.

Debriefing services were also provided to athletes who did not make selection to the team.

Emerging Athlete Program (EAP) – sport psychology scholarship studentsThe EAP Sport Psychology Scholarship Program continued to provide emerging athletes with an introductory mental skills program through scholarship students.

Students were offered an opportunity to complement their own external supervision with sport psychology mentoring. The program included monthly mentoring sessions, observation and participation in group sessions with EAP / ETS athletes, teams and also scholarship athletes where applicable.

Students worked with cycling, diving, hockey, men’s artistic gymnastics and swimming during the reporting period and benefited from:

•HandsonexperienceworkingwithEAPandETSathletes to deliver group based sport psychology services

Sport psychology survey of NSWIS coachesAs part of the Institute’s commitment to delivering relevant and effective services, coaches were asked to complete a short online survey regarding sport psychology services. Those coaches who had not accessed sport psychology services were then provided with information on how these services can be accessed and utilised.

The coaches who accessed NSWIS sport psychology

services provided suggestions for possible improvement on service delivery, with all recommendations taken on board for service delivery in 2012, including:

•Continuationofflexibledeliveryoptionsthroughinhouse and network providers

Sport Inclusion 2013 – 2016During the reporting period, the NSWIS worked with sport program partners to establish plans for inclusion as NSWIS squad sport program for the period 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2016. The sport’s inclusion is based on NSWIS Board approved:

•Squadsportadmissioncriteria,whichdeterminessports to be included

•SportsPriorityFramework,whichdeterminesthelevel and term of support sports are eligible for

The 2013-2016 Sports Priority Framework was developed in line with the nationally consistent nomenclature framework, and includes the following squad sport categories:

•WorldClassfocus–providesaworldclassdailytraining environment, and supports a senior elite, elite development and emerging talent pathway to achieve sustainable success at the senior international level of competition

•InternationalDevelopmentfocus–providesahighperformance training environment that supports sustainable international success

These athletes are not NSWIS scholarship

holders and ETS programs are partnered by state sporting organisations.

During the reporting period 746 athletes were selected to the 24 NSWIS sport programs. Additional scholarship opportunities were also offered to NSW athletes through the Individual Scholarships Program, Athletes with Disabilities and Campaign 2012 Programs. For further information, please refer to the individual sport program pages 30 to 56.

Athlete welcomesNSWIS scholarship holders were welcomed to the Institute by coaches, service staff and program partners, providing an opportunity for athletes to become familiar with all of the services available to them.

Athletes were provided with information regarding anti-doping guidelines and safe sporting environments, including harassment free sport requirements, and were advised of NSWIS policies and procedures and where these can be accessed.

Athlete welcomes also provided the opportunity for athletes to undertake their annual medical and musculoskeletal screenings, which from 1 July 2011 included electrocardiogram screenings. A large majority of the sport programs also used this opportunity to conduct sport science testing, including strength and conditioning, physiology and biomechanical analysis.

Athlete progressionAthlete progression was monitored, reviewed, communicated and reported against in four key ‘outcome’ focused areas:

•Sportingprogression–physical,technicalandtactical progression, as well as progression made in training and competitive performance

•Healthmanagement–thepreventionandmanagement of injury, managing travel arrangements, nutrition needs and the recovery process

•Balanceandattitude–managingchange,developinglife skills and understanding the importance of mental preparation in performance

•Ethicalbehaviour–respect,responsibility,safetyandthe relationship between drugs and sport

Daily training environmentThe NSWIS continued to explore flexible service options that promoted balance and opportunity in a variety of ways and environments.

The centralised NSWIS facility provided high performance training opportunities, combined with expert support services.

Programs staff worked in conjunction with Sydney olympic Park venue providers to utilise on-site venues for squad training sessions including; basketball, diving, hockey, men’s artistic gymnastics, netball, rowing, soccer, swimming, tennis, water polo, weightlifting and winter sports. Canoe slalom, canoe sprint, rowing and equestrian used the olympic legacy centres of the Penrith Whitewater Stadium, the Sydney international Regatta Centre and Sydney International Equestrian Centre, respectively.

To compliment and provide enhancement to the centralised daily training environment, the NSWIS Programs Services Unit continued to utilise leading edge technology.



The ‘mynswis’ sport pages allowed off-site access to regionally based athletes, coaches, parents and academies of sport, as well as travelling athletes.

Additional opportunities beyond the daily training environment were provided to athletes. The NSWIS supported a number of international training and competition opportunities for targeted individuals and continued to develop international training partnerships aimed at improving athlete performance.

5. EmERGinG TaLEnTThe NSWIS continued to provide opportunities to talented athletes who showed potential to progress to NSWIS scholarship standards and international success in the future.

As part of the Institute’s emerging talent pathway, 10 ETS programs were supported during the reporting period. These programs were established in conjunction with a number of state and national sporting organisations, including Athletics NSW, Cycling NSW, Diving NSW, Equestrian Australia, Hockey NSW, Yachting NSW, Rowing Australia, Swimming NSW, Tennis NSW, NSW Water Polo.

The ETS programs underpinned NSWIS sport programs and provided a pathway to the NSWIS scholarship program. The success of the ETS programs was demonstrated with 61 athletes progressing from the emerging talent squads to full scholarship status over the past 12 months.

The ETS programs encompassed a combination of ongoing and camps based training opportunities that

utilised national coaches, former elite athletes and guest presenters as mentors to the next generation of Australian talent.

Below is an outline of how ETS programs provided

motivation and enhanced development opportunities:

•Cycling–theETS1tracksprintprogramincludedsixathletes.

•Waterpolo–weeklytrainingopportunities,ledbyassistant coaches Andrew Yanitsas, Les Kay and Tim Hamill, were provided to 125 athletes across two tiers, focusing on skill development. Athletes in the program were exposed to junior and youth coaches, with nine athletes progressing to NSWIS scholarships

opportunities for network, home and regional academy of sport coaches to attend and contribute to ETS camps and training sessions continued to be offered. This was highlighted by the attendance of regional academy coaches at the cycling and hockey ETS camps.

Although invitations are extended to all coaches and athletes, it is naturally expected that not all can attend

the camps or education sessions provided. Through the use of online communication tools, the development of emerging talent resources and sport specific pages on ‘mynswis’, the NSWIS has been able to reach out to an increasing number of coaches and athletes.

The table below summarises ETS operations for 2011/12 reporting period across identified sport programs:

6. REGionaL / moBiLE sERVicEsThe NSWIS continued a hub-based service delivery and support model for the regional / mobile program, supporting over 170 regionally based NSWIS scholarship athletes across nine regions in NSW. Service delivery included the use of local service providers, which allowed athletes greater access to services, and continuity of service delivery throughout the year from two main high performance centres.

The central high performance area was home to the NSWIS Soccer Northern Program, based at the Newcastle University sports complex, The Forum. The program supported 53 athletes from the men’s and women’s squads and utilised the strength & conditioning services provided at The Forum. In addition to the NSWIS Soccer Northern Program, the partnership with The Forum provided 35 athletes across nine sports access to the fitness centre with the option of individual strength & conditioning servicing.

The NSWIS re-established an NSWIS office and athlete hub at The Forum, providing a home away from Sydney olympic Park for northern program coaches and athletes as well as other athletes and coaches within the area.

Key partners in this area included the University of Newcastle and Mingara one Leisure Centre, as well as official training venues, The Forum, Glendale Athletics Centre, Mingara Regional Athletics Centre and Mingara one pool and gym.

The southern high performance area was home to the NSWIS Triathlon Program, which based itself at the Beaton Park Leisure Centre and the University of Wollongong sports facility, URAC. An agreement was established with URAC which provided 27 NSWIS athletes across 10 sports access to the fitness centre and the offer of individual strength & conditioning servicing.

Another key venue for the southern area was the

Jindabyne Sport & Recreation Centre, which provides office facilities year round for the NSWIS Winter Sports Program as well as a training base for the Program during the domestic season. Forty athletes and eight coaches accessed the dry land training facilities at the centre, in addition to NSWIS sport science, athlete career and education and sport psychology services to

complement their on snow training programs. An induction for the NSWIS Winter Sports Program is held annually in July.

Key partners in this area included the University of Wollongong and Jindabyne Sport & Recreation Centre, as well as the official training venues URAC, Beaton Park Leisure Centre, Perisher and Kosciuszko Thredbo.

Regional Athlete & Coach AssistanceAthletes residing in regional areas were able to access NSWIS support through Regional Athlete Assistance Grants. Assistance included support for travel to competition and official NSWIS training camps, subsidised local gym memberships and mobile service delivery including, coaching, physiology, biomechanics, strength & conditioning, sport psychology, sport medicine, nutrition, ACE, technical analysis and program management. $75,000 in additional funding was available across nine sports.

To further enhance the coaching impact in regional areas, financial assistance is provided to coaches to attend training camps and competitions with their athletes. In kind support is provided through the NSWIS Coach Excellence Program for professional development opportunities to further enhance their coaching.

The Applied Research Program’s (ARP) role is to undertake and manage both independent and cooperative research across the NSWIS, which is designed to add value to NSWIS athletes, coaches and sport programs. It does this by undertaking and applying the outcomes of research to develop improved training methodology in conjunction with industry partners, universities and coaches as well as external companies through the ARP’s Registered Research Agency status.

Targeted areas The ARP supports NSWIS sporting programs through focusing research on the areas of:

•Technologyformonitoringathletesandathleticperformance

•Thehealthoftheathlete•Refiningtraining

Strategic PartnershipsThe ARP has established a number of key partnerships including:

•Powerade–theNSWIScontinuesitsresearchpartnership with Powerade with continued support of the ARP as an official Research Partner. The NSWIS continues to provide expert advice and conduct research to Powerade to produce sports drinks which assist athletes in achieving optimal sporting performance

•ItSports–researchanddevelopmentondesignandeffectiveness of compressive clothing continues. Most recently, a research project examining the impact of compressive clothing on proprioception (body position awareness) was undertaken in conjunction with Dr. Kylie Steel of the University of Western Sydney.

•AltitudeTechnologySolutions–apoolbasedtrainingsystem consisting of a two, 25m lane canopy and portable hypoxic generating systems have been developed. This is the first known sea-level system for hypoxic training for swimmers. The trailer component of this system has been integrated with the current NSWIS environment room to provide flexibility for aquatic and non-aquatic options for athletes to train under hypoxic conditions.

•Pulfords–anengineeringcompanywhohavedeveloped a high-end portable system suitable for athletes doing higher intensity training. This system has both a hypoxic and hyperoxic mode. Research on the system will be conducted on the changes in inspired oxygen concentration, both at rest and during exercise on blood and tissue oxygenation saturation levels, during training under simulated altitude conditions.

•TheUniversityofSydney–multipleprojectsinconjunction with the following faculties and schools; Exercise Science, Engineering, Mathematics and Statistics, and Education; most notably, the Bodies in Space Project which examines how athletes in the

aerial sports of diving, gymnastics, skiing and potentially pole vaulting, manipulate their body shape to achieve their competition objectives. An improved understanding of how changes in body position facilitate spins and somersaults may lead to advising athletes how to safely perform increasingly difficult manoeuvres. Additional funds from the Australian Sports Commission has also been sought to develop real time 3D analysis of the divers at the pool. This system may also allow for 3D analysis of swimmers.

•TheUniversityofWollongong–projectbeingconducted on the effects of controlled frequency breathing on the physiology and stroke characteristics of elite swimmers

•Samsung–ameetingwasheldwithtechnicalstafffrom Samsung regarding potential research and development links. These will focus around investigatingtheapplicationof3DTVtechnology,andthe evolution in screen scanning, to the development of a new approach to 3D biomechanics analysis.

Registered Research agencyThe ARP has been granted continuation of Registered Research Agency status by the Australian Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research. This allows the ARP to be contracted to undertake commercial research and development projects on behalf of companies while still allowing them to retain their R&D tax benefits.

The Institute’s Sport Science and Medical Services units collaborate to provide athletes with world class services across a range of areas. NSWIS sport science services include the high performance disciplines of physiology, strength & conditioning, biomechanics and performance analysis, while the medical team provides medical, physiotherapy, massage, nutrition, injury prevention and recovery services.

The unit works closely with the NSWIS Principal Scientist and the Applied Research Program and services are offered in an integrated manner to provide athletes and coaches with information for optimising training and maximising performance. This is achieved by working with coaches to analyse and develop annual programs to produce an integrated service plan.

Athletes have access to a state of the art training and recovery centre located at the NSWIS facility. The training centre and physiology laboratory are both fully accredited by the National Sports Science Quality Assurance Program and contain resources and equipment to assist athletes achieve world class performance. Mobile service delivery also regularly takes place to service athletes.

sPoRT sciEncE sERVicEsPerformance analysis and skill acquisitionThe NSWIS performance analysis team has an extensive range of equipment and expertise to assist coaches in analysing competition and training performance. Real time & delayed video, as well as statistical data collected during competition and training are used to provide athletes and coaches with feedback regarding skills and game strategy.

Technique development and skill acquisition are key components of the training process. The Institute provides information and analysis to assist the assessment of skill and technique, and assistance to the coach to provide mechanisms that enhance the ability of the athlete to improve these elements of performance.

PhysiologyThe NSWIS physiology team uses equipment and expertise to monitor the impact of training, competition and the environment on the physiologic function of athletes. The facilities at the NSWIS provide physiology staff with a comprehensive range of monitoring equipment as well as an altitude and environmental

chamber that can be used to prepare athletes for competition. Physiology staff assist athletes through the process of altitude training, real or artificial, to improve certain desired physical qualities required for performance, as well as the monitoring of training load and recovery.

BiomechanicsNSWIS biomechanists measure and assess movement in sports using a variety of techniques and equipment. Ahighspeedmulti-cameraViconsystem,Kistlerforceplate and Laser Gun, built around a 55 metre synthetic indoor running track, are used to provide feedback on modifications needed to improve technical components of performance. Areas assessed include running gait, throwing technique and the hockey drag flick.

NSWIS biomechanists are also able to assist in providing information to coaches, doctors and physiotherapists, aimed at minimising injury risks for athletes.

Strength & conditioningNSWIS strength & conditioning specialists work closely with athletes to build the desired qualities demanded by their sport. The strength & conditioning staff use video feedback and power monitoring systems, including force plates and a Biodex dynamometer, to optimise technique and training methods, plus a range of equipment that can be utilised on the training field to assist with speed and agility development.

NSWIS strength & conditioning specialists work actively to develop resources that will enhance the training practices of NSWIS athletes.

mEDicaL sERVicEsMedical services available to athletes include; medical screenings including electrocardiography exams, priority access to a network of physicians and medical staff, discounted medical imaging and pathology services, assistance in case management and referrals.

sport science & medical ServiceS



When required, athletes may also gain access to bone stimulators to aid in the recovery from bone injuries.

The medical services unit is able to provide advice in relation to anti-doping issues, community medical issues and targeted emergency medical funding, as well as providing ongoing contact with coaches to manage issues. These services are supported by NSWIS Medical Program partners; The I-Med Network and BUPA.

MedicalThe NSWIS medical network consists of over 40 service providers (most of whom are specialist sports physicians). The network is involved in the annual medical screenings of NSWIS athletes, and is available state-wide to assist athletes in managing medical and musculoskeletal issues.

PhysiotherapyThe NSWIS physiotherapy network is statewide, consisting of around 100 service providers. The network is involved in the annual musculoskeletal screening of athletes, ongoing treatment of injuries, and is represented and coordinated by two part-time physiotherapy coordinators.

MassageThe NSWIS coordinates a network of massage therapists who are available to treat athletes in private practices throughout NSW.

NutritionThe NSWIS nutrition program aims to ensure athletes receive access to nutrition services, and the support and education they require to apply sound nutrition concepts to training and lifestyle, resulting in optimal nutrition strategies for high performance sport. The NSWIS Dietitian is available to athletes at NSWIS athlete breakfasts, athlete inductions, and attends the training centre several times per week to be available to discuss issues with athletes. The NSWIS has

developed a series of information guidelines, and a blog, on the NSWIS website.

We aim to provide services that decrease the risk of injury, illness, diet & hydration status, and incorrect supplement use. Coaches and athletes are also provided with opportunities to attend educational workshops, discuss nutrition issues directly with our dietician, and obtain detailed information sheets.

Injury prevention and recoveryThe NSWIS employs a physiotherapist on a part-time basis to coordinate our rehabilitation services, to develop resources, and to educate staff on best practices for the training of athletes to avoid injuries and improve recovery post injury. our rehabilitation expert is also directly involved in the advanced treatment of some of our targeted athletes to assist them back to training and competition at the earliest opportunity. The NSWIS aims to be at the forefront when prescribing training which minimises the risk of injury, while focusing on performance.

Service deliveryThe planning of sport science and medical services provided to athletes and sport programs are based on the established NSWIS priority framework and the level of the scholarship holder. Head coaches work with a designated sport science service team to plan servicing and focus is placed on assessing athlete parameters with respect to targeted qualities, and services necessary to bridge any identified gap.

The NSWIS Training CentreThe NSWIS Training Centre has been utilised during the reporting period by the Australian men’s and women’s water polo teams, USA water polo teams, several Australian rowing crews, Australian men’s 4x100m relay track team, the Great Britain diving team, Australian men’s under-21 hockey team, several National Rugby League teams, tennis players from the Medibank International, Sydney FC, Australian junior cycling team, Australian Netball Diamonds, Greater Western Sydney AFL team, Sydney Kings basketball team, Western Sydney Academy of Sport, visiting international swimmers and track & field athletes and many other athletes from across the SIS / SAS and AIS networks.

Specific use was made of the NSWIS Environment Room to prepare athletes for hot and humid competition, particularly when travelling from our winter to the northern hemisphere summer.

NSWIS Sport Science and Medical Services staff presented and attended presentations nationally and internationally to ensure the NSWIS remains a strong member of the national and international network of providers.

PRoJEcTsA number of projects were undertaken by the NSWIS during the reporting period, including:

Progressive lower limb and shoulder preparation & rehabilitation programExpanding on the hamstring preparation and rehabilitation project developed in 2010/11, the NSWIS sport science staff have developed, in conjunction with NSWIS physiotherapists and an analysis of the latest research, a progressive model to assist athletes to prepare and rehabilitate the lower limb and the shoulder. This program enables an easy transfer of training progression from the physiotherapists to strength & conditioning staff ensuring an optimal return to full training and competition. The programs are now fully functional, including a resource manual and training workshops, and most importantly a program for identification of ‘at risk’ athletes so that efforts of prevention can be initiated. The next area to be targeted is the hip.

Altitude at homeThe NSWIS Altitude at Home Program provides an artificial altitude environment for targeted athletes that allows for sleeping or training at altitude whilst still having the support structures of the home environment.

The NSWIS has developed the infrastructure to provide on-site hypoxic (artificial altitude) training at both the NSWIS Training Centre and Sydney olympic Park Aquatic Centre, including a two lane, 25m pool based chamber. Athletes may train in a variety of modes (bike, rower, swimming etc) at oxygen levels equivalent to an altitude of up to 5000m. This type of training, train high / live low, especially for power athletes, has not been used extensively around the world, primarily due to the technological and cost issues. However, there is increasing positive research being released regarding the benefits. The NSWIS is working to be at the forefront of understanding this type of training, and will continue to research this modality to provide our athletes with the best opportunity for success.

Monitoring training stress and strainNSWIS sport science staff are implementing methods to monitor and manage athlete stress and strain during

training and competition. This includes quantifying training loads via GPS, heart rate and training logs and cross referencing with changes in heart function by focusing on heart rate variability.

Levels of fatigue are monitored by measuring power and hydration, and this work provided information on over or under training in athletes. Sports including diving, netball and soccer are being utilised to pilot new technology and processes in this area. Additionally, new information from small accelerometers and gyroscopes is being used to add additional information to the measure of work within training.

Biomechanics and sportThe biomechanic facilities at the NSWIS are used to investigate running technique across a number of sports; landing technique in netball, acrobatic technique in diving & gymnastics, the drag flick in hockey and discus technique in track & field.

The unit enhanced its comprehensive system for objectively evaluating running gait through video analysis, and has added information from force plates, a high speed camera and the Biodex dynamometer. This has made the running gait screening an effective and repeatable screening process. The information is used by strength & conditioning staff and coaches to correct technical flaws that may reduce performance and lead to injury.

Performance analysis and sportThe Intitute’s primary tool for game analysis is the SportsCode software program. NSWIS provides the licence, as well as training and support, to ensure that all applicable coaches are utilising this game analysis software. It allows for real time analysis of games to determine efficiency and look at player strategies. This assists coaches in gaining the ideal tactics and mix of players for a specific game situation. The netball, hockey and water polo programs frequently utilise mobile coding devices that allow for real time coding of multiple individuals and wireless sharing during games. Increasingly this software is being used in our functional screening process to assist the tagging and analysis of movement.

VideoWith the continual advancement of camera technology and matching hardware and software, the Institute has developed improved applications of high speed video looking at technique at a much greater level of accuracy. Applications and devices for wireless video sharing and review at sporting venues and over the internet are being expanded. NSWIS extended video review at the pool to have synchronized over and under water vision for applicable water sports. The NSWIS also installed several semi-permanent cameras and screens in the training centre allowing for simplified daily delayed feedback options.

With the support of the Australian Sports Commission and Sydney olympic Park Aquatic Centre, the NSWIS installed several fixed roof and wall mounted cameras that will allow regular technical analysis of swimming, water polo and diving from angles previously not available.

Athletes from the NSWIS Swimming Program produced a number of outstanding international and domestic sporting performances during the reporting period, leading into the 2012 London olympic Games.

James Magnussen, Eamon Sullivan and Matthew Abood led the way for the program with all three winning gold medals at the 2011 FINA Aquatic World Championships in China. The trio combined to win gold in the men’s 4x100m freestyle relay, defeating the USA, before Magnussen went on to claim his maiden individual world championship title by winning the men’s 100m freestyle. Magnussen then joined fellow NSWIS athlete Geoff Huegill in the Australian men’s 4x100m medley relay team to win silver, capping a remarkable debut world championship meet.

The world championships also saw the rise of youngsters Kenneth To and Jessica Ashwood, with To finishing seventh in the men’s 200m individual medley, and Ashwood a credible 15th in the gruelling women’s 1500m freestyle.

The strong results from the world championships carried into the Australian domestic season at the 2012 Australian Swimming Championships, which doubled as the olympic trials.

Magnussen again produced a world class performance, securing olympic selection in the men’s 50m freestyle, 100m freestyle and relay events. Sullivan ensured he was off to his third olympics in the men’s 50m freestyle and 4x100m freestyle relay, while Ashwood realised her olympic dream by qualifying for the women’s 800m freestyle.

Joining their fellow NSWIS athletes on the Australian olympic team were Jayden Hadler (men’s 100m butterfly, 200m individual medley), Daniel Tranter (men’s 200m and 400m individual medleys), David McKeon (men’s 400m freestyle, 4x200m freestyle relay), Daniel Arnamnart (men’s 100m backstroke) and Jarrod Poort (men’s 1500m freestyle).

Away from the pool the program experienced great success, with several awards being won at the 2011 NSWIS Awards Dinner. Magnussen was crowned ClubsNSW Male Athlete of the Year and Sydney City Toyota Team Athlete of the Year, To received the University of Sydney Academic Excellence Award and NSWIS coach Brant Best won the Sportspro Coach of the Year for guiding Magnussen to two world championship victories. Sullivan received the University of NSW Career Development award, and the 4x100m freestyle relay triumph at the world championships was also recognised as the Classic Sportswear Most Memorable Moment.

The NSWIS Cycling Program saw the rise of several exciting athletes throughout the reporting period, as well as continued success for some established NSWIS stars.

Kaarle McCulloch was again in the thick of the action, partnering compatriot Anna Meares at the 2012 UCI Track Cycling World Championships. The three-time world champions looked to add to their trophy cabinet at the world championships, and did so by winning silver in the women’s team sprint. The fighting pair forced eventual champions Germany to set a new world record to ensure victory. McCulloch then went on to claim fifth in the women’s sprint.

Junior cyclists from the program showed why the future of Australian cycling is in good hands, with three gold medals at the 2011 UCI Junior Track Cycling World Championships.

Jackson Law won gold in the men’s madison and team pursuit, as well as bronze in the men’s 3km individual pursuit, while Caleb Ewan won gold in the men’s omnium. Fellow NSWIS athlete Tim McMillan finished fourth in the men’s team sprint, as well as ninth in the men’s sprint and keirin.

The international success continued for Ewan and Jack Beckinsale at the 2011 Commonwealth Youth Games, with several promising results. Ewan won gold in the men’s road race, team road race and team time trial, teaming up with Beckinsale to win gold in the team events. Individually Beckinsale also won silver in the men’s time trial and bronze in the men’s road race and criterium.

To cap off a memorable 2011, Ewan’s exceptional results were awarded at the 2011 NSWIS Awards Dinner by being named the out and About Marketing & Media Junior Athlete of the Year.

Success was also achieved on the road at the 2012 Jayco Bay Cycling Classic, most notably from Ewan and Amanda Spratt. Ewan clocked two stage wins in the men’s event to claim second overall, while Spratt finished first, second and fourth in three separate stages to place second overall in the women’s event.

The 2012 oceania Track Cycling Championships were a success for several NSWIS cyclists, including Ashlee Ankudinoff, Scott Law and Alex Carver. Ankudinoff won the women’s omnium; Law won gold in the men’s scratch and silver in the men’s madison, with Carver winning silver in the men’s scratch and madison.

The reporting period also saw McCulloch and Spratt selected on the 2012 Australian olympic team.

The NSWIS Winter Sports Program once again produced a number of outstanding performances across a spectrum of winter sport disciplines.

Snowboarders Alex Pullin, Nathan Johnstone and Holly Crawford continued their winning ways from the 2011 season, where they were all crowned world champions, with each athlete securing a medal from a world cup event.

Pullin won gold in the men’s snowboard cross at the 2011 Cardrona World Cup in New Zealand, an event where Crawford won silver in the women’s snowboard halfpipe, while Johnstone picked up gold in the men’s snowboard halfpipe at the 2012 Stoneham World Cup event in Canada.

Elsewhere on the slopes, rising star Britteny Cox won her first world cup medal after taking bronze in the women’sfreestylemogulsatthe2012DeerValleyWorld Cup. Cox became the first Australian female to ever make the podium in women’s freestyle moguls’ world cup.

Jenny Owens secured bronze in the women’s ski cross at the 2012 Winter x Games, Sami Kennedy-Sim achieved four top-10 world cup results in the women’s ski cross and Russell Henshaw finished with five top-10 finishes in the men’s slopestyle during the course of the 2011/12 Winter Dew Tour.

Winter olympian Emma Lincoln-Smith continued to impress in the women’s skeleton, winning silver medals at the 2011 European Cup and 2011 Igls World Cup, while the ice dancing pair of Greg Merriman and Danielle O’Brien finished ninth at the 2012 Four Continents Championships.

The reporting period also uncovered a number of athletes who have the potential to shine on the senior stage in the future, with NSWIS athletes Alex Fitch and Lucy Glanville competing at the 2012 Winter Youth olympic Games in Austria. Both athletes performed strongly at the Games, with Fitch winning bronze in the women’s slopestyle and taking fourth in the women’s snowboard halfpipe. Glanville finished 31st and 34th in the women’s sprint cross country and 5km cross country events, respectively.

Following the success of the NSWIS Winter Sports Program in 2010 / 2011, the program was recognised as the Sydney olympic Park Authority Program of the Year at the 2011 NSWIS Awards Dinner.

Johnstone, who was crowned snowboard halfpipe world champion after returning from a serious ankle injury, was given the Ian Thorpe oAM outstanding Achievement award, and Crawford, the reigning women’s snowboard halfpipe world champion was recognised as the Samsung Female Athlete of the Year.

The NSWIS Sailing Program achieved another successful reporting period as four NSWIS athletes were crowned world champions.

Sailing to the top in 2011 was NSWIS athlete Malcolm Page, who claimed gold in the men’s 470 at the 2011 ISAF Sailing World Championships, the fifth 470 world championship for his career. The win in December 2011 was preceded by gold medal victories in the men’s 470 class at the 2011 ISAF olympic Test Event and 2011 470 European Championships, while in early 2012 Page won gold in the men’s 470 at the Miami and Palma world cup events.

Joining Page on the winner’s dais were fellow NSWIS athletes Nathan Outteridge, Iain Jensen and Tom Slingsby, with all three athletes also winning a world championship crown.

During 2012 outteridge and Jensen combined in the men’s 49er to win their third world championship crown at the 2012 49er World Championships. As a pair it was their third world title, but for outteridge it was his fourth, a feat that no other sailor has achieved in the 49er class.

Slingsby’s resurgence as the sailor to beat continued as he triumphed in the men’s laser at the 2012 Laser World Championships. Slingsby won by 13 points from his nearest rival, notching his fifth laser world championship win.

There were several other NSWIS athletes who achieved results on the world stage, including the trio of Olivia Price, Nina Curtis and Lucinda Whitty, who won silver in the women’s match racing at the Miami world cup, and bronze at the 2011 ISAF Nations Cup and 2012 ISAF Palma World Cup.

Athletes from the program also excelled off the water, with outteridge and Gabrielle King winning awards at the 2011 NSWIS Awards Dinner. King was presented with the Australian College of Physical Education AcademicExcellence–Generalawardforhereffortsinthe academic arena, with outteridge picking up the office of Communities, Sport and Recreation Regional Athlete of the Year.

The conclusion of the reporting period saw eight NSWIS athletes (Slingsby, Page, outteridge, Jensen, Price, Curtis, Whitty and Jessica Crisp) selected on the 2012 Australian olympic team.

The NSWIS Wheelchair Track & Road Program had another successful season in 2011 / 2012, as athletes from the program continued to record excellent results.

once again a stand out, Kurt Fearnley dominated the marathon scene throughout the reporting period, claiming victory in the 2011 Chicago Marathon and a silver medal in the 2011 New York Marathon. Fellow NSWIS athlete Christie Dawes also saw great success, finishing second and fifth at the 2011 Chicago and New York Marathons, respectively.

of 20.23 minutes, fellow NSWIS athlete Richard Nicholson tying up second place and Angela Ballard and Kristy Pond finishing with bronze in their respective categories. Fearnley then went on to take silver at the 2012 Boston Marathon.

Ballard continued her strong form by taking one gold and two silver medals at the prestigious 2012 Swiss National Championships, before securing selection on the 2012 Australian Paralympic team. She was selected for the Paralympic Games along with Fearnley, Nicholson, Dawes and Pond.

The NSWIS Basketball Program, which includes wheelchair basketball, experienced another successful year across all levels.

The results of the program were highlighted by the confirmation of Australia’s wheelchair basketball teams at the 2012 London Paralympic Games.

The Australian men’s wheelchair basketball team, featuring NSWIS athletes Tristan Knowles, Grant Mizens, John McPhail and Brett Stibners faced Japan in the final of the 2011 oceania Wheelchair Basketball Championships, winning 69-48 to secure a Paralympic spot and the chance to defend their title from Beijing. Knowles’ performance at the championships led to him being recognised as the 2011 IWBF International Player of the Year.

The Australian women’s team, featuring NSWIS athletes Kylie Gauci, Sarah Stewart, Katie Hill and Tina McKenzie, won gold and secured Paralympic selection in nail-biting fashion after defeating China 45-44 at the oceania Championships.

Knowles, Mizens, Stibners and Nick Taylor were subsequently selected to the men’s Paralympic wheelchair basketball team, while Gauci, Stewart, Hill and McKenzie were selected to the women’s Paralympic wheelchair basketball team.

After a dominant performance at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, the NSWIS Bowls Program continued to see success throughout the 2011 / 12 reporting period.

The most significant performance of the reporting period came from one of the youngest of the program, Kelsey Cottrell. Cottrell won gold in the women’s triples and silver in the women’s singles at the 2011 Asia Pacific Championships, before continuing her form at the 2011 Queensland open, where she finished on top in the women’s pairs. Cottrell then added more gold to her collection at the 2012 Australian open in the women’s triples.

The NSWIS Bowls Program experienced more success at the Asia Pacific Championships through athletes Mark Berghofer, Karen Murphy and Natasha Van Eldik. Berghofer won gold in the men’s fours and silver inthemen’striples,withMurphyandVanEldikteamingup to take silver in the women’s fours.

The 2011 Queensland open showcased the talent of the NSWIS Bowls Program with a number of medal winning performances. Julie Keegan was a standout performer, winning the women’s pairs event alongside Murphy and teaming up with Cottrell to take gold in the women’s pairs. Sharyn Renshaw and Claire Duke formed another formidable team for the NSWIS, claiming silver in the women’s triples behind Keegan and Cottrell.

Leading the men’s results, Leif Selby scored himself a gold double in the men’s pairs and men’s triples at the Queensland open, while Aaron Sherriff took silver in the men’s triples at the 2012 Australian open.

Athletes from the NSWIS Canoe Slalom Program once again proved their talent throughout the 2011 / 12 reporting period, with several key international results including world championship victory.

NSWIS athletes Jessica Fox and Rosalyn Lawrence claimed the highlight of the year by triumphing in the women’s team C1 at the 2011 ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships. The NSWIS duo teamed with compatriot Leanne Guinea to take gold by nearly 15 seconds from their nearest rivals, China.

The world championship victory came on the back of strong world cup performances from both Fox and Lawrence. Fox won gold in the women’s C1 at the L’Argentiere and Markkleeberg events, while Lawrence won women’s C1 gold in Prague, as well as silver in L’Argentiere and bronze in Markkleeberg. Lawrence’s consistency led to her being crowned overall world cup champion in the women’s C1.

The domestic season in 2012 was a successful time for athletes from the program, eventually leading to Fox’s selection on the 2012 Australian olympic team.

The 2012 Australian Canoe Slalom Championships saw Lawrence win gold in the women’s C1 and silver in the women’s K1, Alison Borrows take silver in the women’s C1 and William Forsythe win bronze in the men’s K1. Rosalyn’s sister, Katrina Lawrence, won bronze in the women’s C1.

Athletes then went on to compete at the 2012 oceania Canoe Slalom Championships, which doubled as the olympic selection trials. It was at the oceania championships where Fox showed her class by taking silver in the women’s K1 to earn a berth at the 2012 London olympic Games. Fox was the leading Australian in the event after an international competitor won gold.

The reporting period began on an extremely positive note for NSWIS Canoe Sprint Program, with the theme carrying on throughout 2012.

NSWIS athletes Murray Stewart, Jo Brigden-Jones and Naomi Flood each achieved success during 2011 with their medal performances at the 2011 ICF Canoe Sprint Championships. Stewart won silver in the men’s K4 1000m, while Brigden-Jones and Flood won bronze in the women’s K2 200m and K1 1000m, respectively.

The trio carried their form into the 2012 Australian domestic season, where they competed in the all-important olympic qualifying events. At the 2012 Australian Canoe Sprint Championships, Stewart was the standout performer after making a gold medal clean sweep of the men’s K1 200m, K1 1000m, K2 1000m and K4 1000m.

His results were complemented by Brigden-Jones who won gold in the women’s K2 500m and K4 200m, and Flood who picked up two silver and one bronze medal. other fantastic results from the national championships included Marius Florian picking up gold medals in the men’s C1 500m and C1 1000m, Lachlan Tame triumphing in the men’s K2 500m, and Maddison Prior securing bronze in the women’s K4 200m and K4 500m.

The final event on the domestic calendar was the 2012 oceania Canoe Sprint Championships, which doubled as the final olympic selection trials. once again Stewart was in fine form, winning gold in the men’s K1 1000m, K2 1000m and K4 1000m, as well as bronze in the men’s K1 200m and K2 200m. Following his performance he was selected on the Australian olympic team.

Not to be outdone, Brigden-Jones and Flood also secured their spots on the Australian olympic team. Brigden-Jones was selected as part of the Australian women’s K4 500m after triumphing in that event at the oceania championships, while Flood secured olympic selection in the women’s K2 500m after taking silver in the event. Fellow NSWIS athlete Sebastian Marczak also secured a spot at his debut olympic Games, finishing with a flurry in the men’s C1 200m and confirming his spot at the world sport’s showpiece event.

There were several excellent performances from athletes in NSWIS Diving Program, most notably from Matthew Mitcham and Melissa Wu, who each secured a spot on the 2012 Australian olympic team.

The reporting period began strongly with Wu and fellow NSWIS athlete Alexandra Croak winning silver in the women’s 10m platform synchro at the 2011 FINA Aquatic World Championships. The duo finished behind the ever-present Chinese divers, but nearly 10 points ahead of bronze medallists, Germany.

The world championships were followed by the 2012 Australian Diving Championships, where Wu and Croak went one better to secure gold in the women’s 10m platform synchro. Scott Robertson was also on the medal dais, winning bronze in the men’s 1m springboard.

2012 began strongly for the program, with Wu, Croak and Mitcham competing at the 2012 FINA Rostock Grand Prix and 2012 FINA World Cup. Wu and Croak won silver in the women’s 10m platform synchro at the grand prix before going on to achieve the same result at the world cup. Mitcham finished fourth in the men’s 10m platform at the grand prix.

The trio then competed at the 2012 Australian olympic trials, with Wu and Mitcham securing olympic selection. Wu triumphed in the women’s 10m platform, and took silver in the women’s 10m platform synchro with Croak, while Mitcham earned the opportunity to defend his olympic title by winning the men’s 10m platform.

The NSWIS Diving Program is proudly supported by the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre.

The highlight for the program was Sellathurai’s gold medal in the men’s pommel horse at the 2011 Universiade in China, where he tallied 15.700 points to triumph over his competitors. His result in China came on the back of a gold in the men’s pommel horse and silver in the men’s rings at the 2011 MG National Championships.

Athletes from the NSWIS Hockey Program continued to shine internationally and domestically, with several key results ahead of the 2012 London olympic Games.

Most notably, NSWIS athletes Kieran Govers, Matthew Butturini and Mark Paterson were part of the Australian men’s team, the Kookaburras, which won the 2011 Champions Trophy. In a strong display of hockey the team defeated a difficult Spanish side 1-0 in the final to win their fourth consecutive Champions Trophy victory.

Several NSWIS hockey athletes also competed in a number of test series against the world’s strongest hockey nations.

Govers, Butturini and Paterson were joined by fellow NSWIS athlete Simon Orchard as the Australian men’s team scored resounding series wins against China and Japan, making a clean sweep of both nations in their three test series.

Toni Cronk, Casey Eastham, Emily Smith, Megan Rivers, Jade Close and Jade Warrender were part of the Australian women’s hockey team defeating Korea 3-1 in a four test series.

They were then joined by fellow NSWIS athletes Jaclyn McRae and Kate Jenner as Australia were narrowly defeated 1-0 in a three test series against Argentina, with two of the matches deadlocked in a draw.

McRae also featured in a series victory by Australia-A over Korea, with NSWIS athletes Hollie Webster, Emily Hurtz and Kate Hollywood also taking part.

The reporting period concluded with nine athletes being selected on the 2012 Australian olympic team. The men’s selections included Butturini, Govers and orchard, while Close, Cronk, Eastham, Rivers, Jenner and Smith were selected on the women’s team.

The NSWIS Netball Program saw great success throughout the 2011 / 2012 season, with the highlight of the reporting period being the gold medal winning performance by the Australian Diamonds at the 2011 World Netball Championships in Singapore. In a one goal thriller, the Diamonds stormed home to defeat arch-rivals New Zealand, confirming their status as the world’s best.

After forcing the game into overtime, the Diamonds slotted the winning goal with three seconds to spare, rectifying their loss to New Zealand at the 2010 Commonwealth Games. NSWIS athletes Catherine Cox, Mo’onia Gerrard and Kimberlee Green represented NSWIS at the championships.

Domestically, the NSW Swifts 2012 ANZ Championship campaign saw some personnel changes with Lisa Beehag as head coach and Sue Hawkins as high performance coach. The season started slowly with two losses, but was then followed with six straight wins. In what was one of the closest ladders in ANZ Championship history, with the top four decided by the results of the last round matches, the NSW Swifts finished the season in fifth place just two points shy of making the semi-finals. All NSW Swifts are NSWIS scholarship holders.

Ten NSWIS athletes also saw success in the Australian Netball League tournament, defeating three time winnersVictorianFuryinthefinal.Afterpostingaonegoal victory over the reigning premiers in round three, the NSW Waratahs coached by Robert Wright, cruised into the final as slight favourites before defeating the Fury by nine goals.

The 2011 Under-21 Australian Netball Championships produced more success for several NSWIS netballers, withanationaltitleandaMostValuablePlayer(MVP)award.

The 2012 Under-17 and Under-19 Australian Netball Championships in Tasmania saw mixed results. The NSW U17 team finished their tournament with a perfect record,defeatingVictoriaforasecondtimeinthefinalto claim NSW’s first U17 title in five years.

The NSWIS Soccer Program has continued to impress over the 2011 / 2012 reporting period, under the watchful eye of head coaches Ian Crook, Alen Stajcic and Wayne O’Sullivan.

on the domestic front, Sydney FC team members Teigen Allen, Alisha Bass, Danielle Brogan, Caitlin Foord, Leena Khamis, Kylie Ledbrook, Teresa Polias, Renee Rollason, Kyah Simon, Servet Uzunlar, Sarah Walsh and Britt Whitfield finished third in the Westfield W-League.

In a rematch of the 2011 grand final, the girls from Sydney FC were out to avenge last year’s loss to the Brisbane Roar, only to be narrowly defeated 4-3 in a penalty shoot out in the semi final.

Michelle Heyman and Ellyse Perry on the other hand, helped Canberra United to their maiden W-League title, defeating Brisbane Roar three goals to two. Heyman played an integral part in the win, scoring two goals to take her total for the season to 15.

Internationally a number of female NSWIS soccer players continued to represent in the Australian Matildas. Heather Garriock, Allen, Foord, Simon, Uzunlar and Walsh defeated China and Korea Republic in their olympic qualification matches, however eventually missed out on a berth in London, finishing third behind Japan and North Korea, respectively.

After another fantastic season, teenager Ford was awarded the 2011 AFC Youth Player of the Year following her outstanding performance on the wing for Australia at the 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Germany.

The NSWIS Tennis Program continued to play a major role in the development of NSW athletes on the international and domestic sporting stage.

Internationally the results from the program were led by rising star Alexei Popyrin. In the space of only a few weeks, Popyrin excelled in Italy by taking out the men’s doubles and men’s singles at the 2011 Campionati 12s Internazionali BNL D’Italia Giovanili, where he faced some of the world’s best under-12 tennis players. This was then followed by a victory in the men’s singles at the 2011 Nike Euro Masters Championship.

Popyrin’s results were complemented by Abbie Myers, who won gold in the women’s doubles at two ITF pro circuit events in Turkey, and Alex De Minaur, who took silver in the men’s singles at the 2012 Europe Pecs Junior Cup.

Closer to home Jay Andrijic showed why he is considered one of Australia’s next top tennis hopes by winning several events. Andrijic won gold in the men’s doubles and bronze in the men’s singles at the 2011 Air Pacific oceania Championships, gold in the men’s singles and doubles in the 2011 ITF Queensland Junior International, and gold and silver in the men’s singles and doubles, respectively, at the 2011 ITF Kawana Junior International.

Elsewhere, Jordan Thompson won gold in the men’s singles at the 2011 Sydney Junior International, while Nick Horton won silver in the men’s singles and bronze in the men’s doubles at the 2011 ITF Noumea Classic.

The NSWIS duo of Stephanie Yamada and Ellen Perez also experienced success, combining to win silver in the women’s doubles at the 2011 ITF Queensland Junior International.

The reporting period started strongly for athletes from the NSWIS Triathlon Program, with Brad Kahlefeldt winning gold at the Hamburg, Germany leg of the 2011 Triathlon World Championship Series.

The race was one of the closest in years, with Kahlefeldt surging ahead in a sprint finish to capture the crown ahead of his competitors from England and France. He then followed up his Hamburg triumph with an eighth place finish in London, before finishing the world championship series ranked 10th.

In early 2012 Kahlefeldt recaptured his form from 2011 by taking silver at the 2012 Mooloolaba Triathlon World Cup, narrowly missing out on gold after a thrilling sprint finish to the line. Kahlefeldt’s efforts during the reporting period led to him being named on the 2012 Australian olympic team.

The program also experienced success at a junior level, with NSWIS athlete Ashleigh Bailie winning silver in the junior women’s division of the 2011 Triathlon World Championships.

The NSWIS Water Polo Program continued to support a number of Australia’s most elite water polo athletes, while developing the next generation of stars.

The 2012 Pan Pacific Championships were a successful outing for several NSWIS water polo players, with four athletes competing on the Australian women’s water polo team, and six athletes selected on the Australian men’s water polo team.

Holly Lincoln-Smith, Alicia McCormack, Rebecca Rippon and Nicola Zagame were on the Australian women’s team that won the 2012 Pan Pacific Championships, defeating longtime rivals the USA 6-5.

The men’s team, feauting Joel Dennerley, Samuele Avallone, Richie Campbell, Gavin Woods, Thomas Whalan and James Clark also took on the USA in the final of the men’s competition, eventually finishing with silver after a narrow 10-11 loss.

The junior athletes in the NSWIS Water Polo Program look set to carry the mantle in future years, with strong results at the men’s and women’s 2011 FINA Junior World Championships. Jayde Appel, Maddison Schmidt and Emily Scott won bronze in the women’s edition of the championships, while Clark, Jeremy Davie, Adam Polivka and Paul Sindone finished fourth at the men’s junior world championships.

The reporting period concluded with Lincoln-Smith, McCormack and Zagame finishing with silver at the 2012 FINA Women’s World League, before securing a berth on the 2012 Australian olympic team. Their selection was complemented by Dennerley, Campbell, Woods, Whalan, Clark, Johnno Cotterill and Aidan Roach being selected on the men’s team to compete at the 2012 olympic Games.

The NSWIS Weightlifting Program, under the guidance of head coach Luke Borreggine, continued to provide athletes with world class coaching, training and competitive opportunities.

Malek Chamoun was once again the standout performer of the program, with his most notable result being a silver medal in the men’s 85kg class at the 2011 Australian Weightlifting Championships.

The result led to selection on the Australian team heading to the 2011 World Weightlifting Championships in Paris, France, where he finished 31st. Chamoun, who is legally blind, became the first blind competitor to compete at a world weightlifting championship

NSWIS Individual and Campaign 2012 scholarship holders achieved significant international results during the reporting period, led by karate athlete Kristina Mah.

Mah began the reporting period strongly by notching gold medals in the women’s 61kg kumite class at the 2011 Commonwealth Championships and 2011 Australian Karate Championships. More success followed for Mah as she triumphed in the women’s 55-61kg kumite at the 2011 German Karate open, before claiming wins in 2012 at the Dubai Karate open and Sydney International open.

Fellow NSWIS athlete Safwan Khalil also experienced success in his sport of taekwondo. Khalil won silver and bronze in the men’s 58kg class at the 2012 Dutch and German opens, before being selected on the 2012 Australian olympic team.

NSWIS archers achieved a number of excellent results during the reporting period, including rising star Elisa Barnard. Barnard won gold medals in the women’s recurve and women’s recurve team event at the 2011 Australian Archery open, before going on to claim gold at the 2012 Australian Archery olympic qualifying tournament, securing her position at the 2012 olympic Games.

Khalil and Barnard were then joined on the 2012 Australian olympic team by fellow NSWIS scholarship holders Warren Potent (shooting), Daniel Repacholi (shooting), Suzanne Balogh (shooting), Clive Barton (shooting), Vivian Tan (table tennis) and Justin Han (table tennis).

The NSWIS Athletes with a Disability (AWD) Program produced a number of world-class results throughout the 2011 / 12 reporting period, including world championship gold.

Cyclists Alexandra Green and Jayme Paris were two of the shining stars from the program, with Green winning gold in the women’s C4 3000m individual pursuit at the 2012 Para-cycling World Track Championships, before taking fourth in the women’s C4 500m time trial at the same event.

Paris was also on song during the reporting period, winning gold medals in the women’s C1 3000m individual pursuit and C1 500m time trial at the 2012 Para-cycling World Track Championships, as well as gold in the women’s C1 time trial at the 2011 UCI Para-cycling World Road Cycling Championships.

Five time Paralympian Liesl Tesch continued to show her class in the sporting arena by winning two sailing medals at international levels. Tesch, who switched from wheelchair basketball to sailing, won gold in the skud 18 class at the 2012 ISAF Sailing World Cup, and bronze in the same class at the 2012 IFDS World Championships. She was subsequently selected to the 2012 Australian Paralympic team to compete at her sixth Paralympic Games.

NSWIS AWD swimmers proved to be a force in the water in the lead up to the 2012 London Paralympic Games, with Kara Leo impressing in the pool. Leo won six gold medals at the 2011 INAS Games, as well as a silver and bronze medal at the 2012 Australian Swimming Championships.

Competing at the 2011 Can Am Meet in the USA, Jacqueline Freney broke the world record in the final of the women’s 400m freestyle, winning the gold by over 30 seconds. She also won silver in the women’s 50m and 100m freestyle, while fellow NSWIS athlete Taylor Corry took gold in the women’s 50m backstroke and 100m freestyle, as well as four silver medals.

The Australian swimming championships and Paralympic Games trials were also a highlight for a number of other NSWIS AWD swimmers, including Corry (three gold, two silver, one bronze medal), Tim Antalfy (three gold, one bronze), Prue Watt (two gold, one silver medal) and Freney (two gold, one bronze).

Antalfy clocked world record times on a stunning eight occasions in four events, Freney recorded a new women’s 100m freestyle world record, and Watt capped off the meet with a record in the women’s 50m freestyle.

AWD athletes shone on the track and in the field during the reporting period, with Stephanie Schweitzer impressing on the domestic stage. Schweitzer won gold in sprint events at each of the Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide track classic meets, while also winning long jump silver in Melbourne.

Three NSWIS athletes were selected on the Australian Paralympic team in women’s goalball, as Australia secured its first appearance at the Games for over 10 years. Jenny Blow, Michelle Rzepecki and Tyan Taylor were all selected on the team, with Blow’s selection coming on the back of winning the University of Sydney Academic Excellence award at the 2011 NSWIS Awards Dinner.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting PoliciesThe following summary explains the significant accounting policies that have been adopted in preparation of these financial statements.

(a) Basis of the Preparation of the Financial StatementsThe Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2012 has been authorised for issue by the Board on the 18 october 2012. The Financial Statements represent a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983, its Regulation and the NSW Treasurer’s Directions and applicable Australian Accounting Standards and other professional reporting requirements. The financial statements comply withAustralianequivalentstoInternationalFinancialReportingStandards(AIFRS).TheNSWInstituteofSportisanot-for–profitentityandAIFRShavebeen applied as applicable to not-for-profit entities.

The financial statements have been prepared on historical cost basis using the accrual method of accounting and do not reflect changing money values of assets.

Judgements, key assumptions and estimations management made are disclosed in the relevant notes to the financial report.

All amounts are expressed in Australian dollars.

(b) Principles of ConsolidationThe consolidated financial report incorporates the assets and liabilities of the NSW Institute of Sport (NSWIS) the “parent entity” and its controlled entity as at 30 June 2012 and the results of the controlled entity for the period then ended. NSWIS and its controlled entity is referred to in this financial report as the “economic entity”. The effects of all the transactions within the economic entity are eliminated in full. There are no outside equity interests.

The controlled entity (Institute of Sport Division) results are included in the economic entity Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Cash Flows and Statement of Changes in Equity for the reporting period.

The accounting policies adopted in preparing the financial reports are consistently applied by the parent entity, the economic entity and the controlled entity.

The controlled entity also prepares a separate financial report. The financial report is audited by the Auditor-General of NSW.

(c) Employee Entitlements

Annual Leave:Employee leave entitlements are measured as the amount unpaid at the reporting date at pay rates expected to be paid in respect of employees’ service up to that date. Accrued annual leave is treated as a current liability.

Sick leave: Unused sick leave does not give rise to a liability as it is not considered probable that sick leave taken in the future will be greater than the benefits accrued in the future.

Long Service Leave: Long service leave liability is recognized and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. The liability is calculated in accordance with AASB 119 Employee Benefits and NSW Treasury Circular TC 12/06. Accrued long service leave is treated as both a current and non-current liability.

On costs: The outstanding amounts of payroll tax, workers’ compensation insurance premiums, superannuation and fringe benefits tax, which are consequential to employment, are recognised as liabilities and expenses where the employee entitlements to which they relate have been recognised.

Superannuation: The employer’s obligation for employee entitlements is recognised as an expense in the period it relates to. Expense is determined based on 9% of employee salaries. All NSWIS employees are members of a defined contribution plan resulting in no unfunded liability for the NSW Institute of Sport Division.(d) Plant and Equipment

Acquisitions: All physical assets costing over $1,000 with an expected useful life of more than one year have been capitalised and recorded in the assets register.

The initial cost of an asset includes an estimate of the cost of dismantling and removing the item. This is particularly relevant to the “make good” provisions in NSWIS property lease where there is an obligation to restore the property to its original condition. These costs are included in capital cost of NSWIS Leasehold Improvements with a corresponding provision for “Make Good” taken up.

Depreciation: Depreciation is provided on a straight line basis for all depreciable assets so as to write off the depreciable amount of each asset as they are consumed over their useful lives to the entity. The following depreciation rates were used based on the assessment of the useful life of that equipment

•ComputerEquipmentrangefrom25%to33.3%p.a.

•GeneralPlantandEquipmentrangefrom14.3%to33.3%p.a.

•ElectronicandScientificEquipmentrangefrom14.3%to33.3%p.a.

•SportingEquipmentrangefrom25%to50%p.a.

•LeaseholdImprovementsareamortisedat10%basedonthetermofNSWISpropertylease(tenyears)

(e) Trade and Other Receivables:All debtors are recognised as amounts receivable at balance date. Collectability of debtors is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. A provision for impairment is raised when some doubt as to collection exists. The credit risk is the carrying amount (net of any provision for impairment). No interest is earned on debtors.

(f) Trade and Other Payables:Liabilities are recognised for amounts due to be paid in the future for goods and services received. Amounts owing to suppliers are settled in accordance with the policy set out in the Treasurer’s Direction 219.01. Where trade terms are not specified, payment is made no later than the end of the month following the month in which the invoice is received. No interest penalty was incurred on creditors during the year.

(g) In- Kind contribution of services:The Institute receives ‘in-kind contributions’ of goods and services from sponsors. Where this value can be reliably measured it has been included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income for the current period.

(h) Revenue RecognitionRevenue is recognised when the Institute has control of the good or right to receive, it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Institute and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.

State Government funding, along with grants and sponsorships from other bodies (including Commonwealth agencies, national and state sporting associations and private sector organisations) are recognised as revenues when the Institute obtains control over those assets. Such control is normally obtained on a cash receipts basis.

Rendering of Services- control of the right to receive income from the provision of goods and services to external entities and individual athletes, such income is recognised when the fee in respect of those services provided is receivable.

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method.

notes to the financial statementsnsW institute of sport division

notes to the financial statementsnotes to the Financial statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2012

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies(a) Reporting entityThe Institute of Sport is a Division of the Government Service, established pursuant to Part 2 of Schedule 1 to the Public Sector Employment and Management Act 2002. It is a not-for-profit entity as profit is not its principal objective. It is consolidated as part of the NSW Total State Sector Accounts. It is domiciled in Australia and its principal office is at Building B, Level 1, 6 Figtree Drive, Sydney olympic Park Homebush Bay.

The Institute of Sport Division’s objective is to provide personnel services to the NSW Institute of Sport.

The Institute of Sport Division commenced operations on 17 March 2006 when it assumed responsibility for the employees and the employee-related liabilities of the NSW Institute of Sport.

The financial report was authorised for issue by the Chief Executive officer of the NSW Institute of Sport on 18 october 2012. The report will not be amended and reissued as it has been audited.

(b) Basis of preparationThe financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards, the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983, the Public Finance and Audit Regulation 2010, and specific directions issued by the Treasurer. Accounting Standards include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards.

The financial statements have been prepared on an accrual accounting basis and on the basis of historical costs and do not take into account changing money values or current valuations.

All amounts are rounded to the nearest one thousand dollars and are expressed in Australian currency.

Management’s judgements, key assumptions and estimates are disclosed in the relevant notes to the financial report.

(c) IncomeIncome is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue from the rendering of personnel services is recognised when the service is provided and only to the extent that the associated recoverable expenses are recognised.

(d) Trade and Other ReceivablesA receivable is recognised when it is probable that the future cash inflows associated with it will be realised and it has a value that can be measured reliably. It is derecognised when the contractual or other rights to future cash flows from it expire or are transferred.

A receivable is measured initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any allowance for impairment. A short-term receivable with no stated interest rate is measured at the original invoice amount where the effect of discounting is immaterial. An invoiced receivable is due for settlement within thirty days of invoicing.

If there is objective evidence at year end that a receivable may not be collectable, its carrying amount is reduced by means of an allowance for impairment and the resulting loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Receivables are monitored during the year and bad debts are written off against the allowance when they are determined to be irrecoverable. Any other loss or gain arising when a receivable is derecognised is also recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

(e) Trade and Other PayablesPayables include accrued wages, salaries, and related on costs (such as payroll tax, fringe benefits tax and workers’ compensation insurance) where there is certainty as to the amount and timing of settlement.

A payable is recognised when a present obligation arises under a contract or otherwise. It is derecognised when the obligation expires or is discharged, cancelled or substituted.

A short-term payable with no stated interest rate is measured at historical cost if the effect of discounting is immaterial.

(f) Employee benefit provisions and expensesProvisions are made for liabilities of uncertain amount or uncertain timing of settlement. Employee benefit provisions represent expected amounts payable in the future in respect of unused entitlements accumulated as at the reporting date. Liabilities associated with, but that are not, employee benefits (such as payroll tax) are recognised separately.

Annual Leave:Employee leave entitlements are measured as the amount unpaid at the reporting date at pay rates expected to be paid in respect of employees’ service up to that date. Accrued annual leave is treated as a current liability.

Sick leave:Unused sick leave does not give rise to a liability as it is not considered probable that sick leave taken in the future will be greater than the benefits accrued in the future.

Long Service Leave:Long service leave liability is recognized and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. The liability is calculated in accordance with AASB 119 Employee Benefits and NSW Treasury Circular TC 12/06. Accrued long service leave is treated as both a current and non-current liability.

On costs:The outstanding amounts of payroll tax, workers’ compensation insurance premiums, superannuation and fringe benefits tax, which are consequential to employment, are recognised as liabilities and expenses where the employee entitlements to which they relate have been recognised.

Superannuation:The employer’s obligation for employee entitlements is recognised as an expense in the period it relates to. Expense is determined based on 9% of employee salaries. All NSWIS employees are members of a defined contribution plan resulting in no unfunded liability for the Institute of Sport Division.

(g) New Australian Accounting Standards Issued but not EffectiveAt reporting date a number of Australian Accounting Standards have been issued by the Australian Accounting Standards but are not yet operative. These have not been adopted early by the Institute of Sport Division as they have been assessed to be not materially affecting the financial statements.

2. RESULTThe Institute of Sport Division did not make any payments to consultants. The audit fee for the entity is met by the NSW Institute of Sport and is estimated at $3,500. The auditors provided no other services other than the audit of the financial statements.

7. financial instrumentsThe Institute of Sport Division’s principal financial intruments are short term receivables and arise directly from the Institute of Sport Division’s operations.

The Institute of Sport Division’s activities exposes it to a variety of financial risks as follows:

(i) Market Risk The Institute of Sport Division did not identify any material market risk in terms of foreign exchange, pricing or interest rates during the year or at reporting date.

(ii) Credit Risk The carrying value of short term receivables included in the statement of financial position of the entity is refelected based on the historical cost net of any provision for impairment. The collectability of the short term receivables are reviewed on an ongoing basis and the credit risk exposure of the short term receivable has been evaluated and it has been determined that no provision for impairment is required.

(iii) Liquidity Risk The Institute of Sport Division did not identify any material liquidity risk at reporting date.

(iv) Interest Rate Risk The Institute of Sport Division is not exposed to any material interest rate risk.
