AIS Elite Youth Athlete HP Guidelines Checklist

The Elite Youth Athlete (EYA) Guidelines:

• have been produced in response to requests from the National Institute Network (NIN) and National Sporting Organisations (NSOs), many of whom are already supporting EYAs.
• contain eight guidelines, each including one key recommendation, rationale, and key action areas to support implementation (with example resources).
• are designed with the understanding that many organisations have the relevant program arrangements, servicing frameworks and HP skillsets largely in place.
• complement the National Integrity Framework and existing sport and child protection policies.
• are aligned with IOC consensus statement recommendations.
• are, to our knowledge, a world-first in their release and scope.
