Principle 3
Acknowledging that transitions into, between, and out of HP programs represent periods of heightened wellbeing risk, AW&E providers proactively deliver targeted and customed AW&E servicing to athletes in transition.
AW&E providers:
3.1 Ensure tailored AW&E servicing for athletes as they transition into HP programs, including playing a key role in comprehensive induction, relocation support where applicable, and the delivery of key HP program information.
3.2 Recognise when an individual’s needs fall outside of the AW&E provider’s area of expertise, and act to ensure timely and effective referral to appropriate service providers.
3.3 Maintain clear identification of AW&E service providers for every HP athlete. Where an athlete has more than one AW&E provider, ensure the roles of the primary and secondary provider(s) are clearly understood, and that professional relationships are maintained to support a shared care arrangement.
3.4 Ensure AW&E services are tailored to support athletes as they progress through HP sport, including targeted support during times of heightened wellbeing risk: injury, non-selection, post-benchmark events, or other relevant life transitions.
3.5 Ensure tailored AW&E services to support athletes as they transition out of a HP program, including access to AW&E resources and referral networks as appropriate, and the promotion of alumni opportunities.
