Elite Youth Athlete Guidelines

First published in 2026, these guidelines were developed in consultation with stakeholders from across the Australian High Performance Sport System and are intended to complement and support: The National Principles for Child Safe Organisations; The National Integrity Framework; and sport-specific policies and applied EYA high performance practices. The guidelines are aligned with the HP2032+ Win Well Strategy and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) consensus statements on Elite Youth Athletes (EYAs).
