Outcome 2: Excellence in sports performance by Australians

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14


Variance from targets

The following notes provide an explanation for variations between the set targets and the actual results achieved for outcome 2.

1. There were 673 scholarship positions during the period 1 July 2001 to 30 June 2002. In some AIS sports, there were no opportunities for AIS athletes to represent Australia in the age group that applied to those athletes during the reporting period. Of the 513 athletes who were eligible to represent Australia, 462 (90%) were selected. This represents 69% of all scholarships.

2. Tennis and cricket plans will be completed by 30 July 2002. Both programs have had substantial changes in personnel and structure since January 2002, which have resulted in a delay in the completion of the plans.

3. Reviews of winter sport and rugby union are expected to be completed by 30 July 2002. Women’s soccer, cricket and tennis will be reviewed in December 2002 once their programs have been operating for 12 months.

4. Survey results from 295 AIS athletes across 25 of the 35 sports programs. Two hundred and seventy-three (93%) athletes responded that they were either very satisfied (117) or satisfied (156) with their scholarship.

5. At the May/June 2002 performance enhancement review meetings, the AIS and national sporting organisations agreed that 25 of the 30 (83%) programs reviewed were meeting or exceeding agreed expectations in terms of program performance and service delivery effectiveness.

6. Due to the loss of corporate-sector support following the Sydney 2000 Games, many sports needed to rationalise high-performance expenditure. Therefore, the responsibility of accessing and paying for sports science/sport medicine services has reverted to the individual athlete.

7. This variation is due to the re-assessment of the eligibility to receive high-performance funding support and the resulting reduction of the total number of national sporting organisations receiving funding under this program.

8. Based on responses from workshop participants indicating relevance of content.

9. Total ASC costs of outputs is greater because of greater than budgeted external revenue.
