What are these?

All NSOs are required to address, within their own sport specific athlete categorisation framework, associated policies to categorise athletes for dAIS eligibility under the following:

  • Short and long-term major injury and illness;
  • Time away from competition;
  • Transitioning into a sport from another; and
  • Pregnancy.

It is important these policies are not confused with employee policies (e.g. maternity leave policy, paternity leave policy). The NSO associated policies are for purpose of athlete categorisation, not employment.

In terms of dAIS support, the ASC does not have any influence or consideration in respect of employment policies, as athletes are not employees of the ASC.
