In 2018 the ASC has adopted a new brand, Sport Australia, to reflect our changing role in sport and to promote a better connection with the Australian community. Our vision is for Australia to be the most active sporting nation, known for its integrity, sporting success and world leading sports industry. Operating under the Australian Sports Commission Act 1989, and retaining the legal name of the Australian Sports Commission, Sport Australia is governed by a board of commissioners appointed by the Minister for Sport. The Board determines Sport Australia’s overall direction, decides on allocation of resources and policy for delegated decisions, and is accountable to the Minister for Sport. Our purpose Sport Australia will contribute to improving the health and wellbeing of Australians and making communities stronger through sport and physical activity. Our work/scope Our work in 2017–18 has been built around three interconnected areas: high performance, participation, and sport industry growth. 4 5 Sport Australia staff and program locations Brisbane / 5.0 Gold Coast / 4.0 Perth / 6.0 Sydney / 7.0 Canberra / 421.8 Adelaide / 9.6 Melbourne / 16.3 Varese / 5.0 Italy 474.7 TOTAL *Sport Australia staff as at 30 June 2018. *Note that as of 30 June 2018, Sport Australia organisational transformation is still under implementation. 6 SITE SIZE > 66 HECTARES Number Bruce > 35 of buildings Yarralumla > 1 Pizzey Park > 1 38 and venues ETC > 1 8,800 17 sports camp attendees NSOS ON SITE 90,000 total number of bed nights 14 > Bruce 1 > Yarralumla INCLUDING 45,000 HIGH 2 > Pizzey Park PERFORMANCE BED NIGHTS 521,000 37,500 visits to the AIS campus event tickets sold in Bruce 7 CONTENTS 8 OVERVIEW AND HIGHLIGHTS 10 Chair’s report 12 CEO’s report 14 Our role and function 16 The Australian sporting environment 17 Highlights 18 ANNUAL PERFORMANCE STATEMENTS 24 Statement by the Commissioner — Annual Performance Statements 26 Our purpose 27 Our performance 28 Analysis 39 OUR ORGANISATION 42 About Sport Australia 44 Corporate partners 49 Our operations 50 Authority and directions 56 Board and committees 58 Governance 67 External scrutiny 70 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 72 Summary of financial outcomes 74 Independent auditor’s report 76 Statement from the Chair of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer 78 Financial statements 79 AUSTRALIAN SPORTS FOUNDATION 102 APPENDIXES AND REFERENCES 104 Appendix 1: High performance results 106 Appendix 2: Sport Australia award recipients 120 Appendix 3: Funding to sports 124 Appendix 4: Contact officers 129 Shortened forms 130 Summary of compliance 131 Index 135 9 OVERVIEW AND HIGHLIGHTS 10 CHAIR’S REPORT 12 CEO’S REPORT 14 OUR ROLE AND FUNCTION 16 THE AUSTRALIAN SPORTING ENVIRONMENT 17 HIGHLIGHTS 18 11 SPORT AUSTRALIA — ANNUAL REPORT 2017–2018 OVERVIEW AND HIGHLIGHTS John Wylie AM Chair Chair’s report Nelson Mandela said ‘Sport has the power to change the world, it has the power to inspire, it has the power to unite people in a way that little else does.’ The wisdom of the great man’s words was evident this year at the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games, which showcased the many things Australians love about sport. Great athletes rising to the occasion competing fiercely but fairly for their country, and great moments of sportsmanship. It was wonderful to see the integration of our Paralympians at the heart of the Games. Our Paralympians are an inspiration to the nation. We salute in particular Kurt Fearnley for all he has achieved in the green and gold and for the example he sets for all in our country. The Commonwealth Games were just one of many highlights for Australian sport in the past year. Our Winter Olympians and Paralympians performed very creditably on the world stage, with three medals for the Olympic team and our best result at a Paralympic Games for 16 years. Our Socceroos made it to the World Cup final in Russia, a feat not achieved by many traditional football powerhouse nations. The Matildas continue to shine at the highest levels in the world in their sport, and there were many fine individual performances by Australians in many sports. Women’s sport continued to grow and prosper, something to be celebrated. Our elite sportsmen and women only achieve what they achieve because of a relentless commitment to excellence and a willingness to embrace change. We endeavour to put these values into practice in our own organisation. To this end, this year we led, with the Minister for Sport and the Commonwealth Government, the development of Australia’s first-ever national sport plan, a long-term vision for success at all levels of sport from community grassroots through to the highest levels of international competition. To combat rising obesity levels in the community, we are increasing our efforts to boost physical activity with the ‘Move It Aus’ campaign and further promoting awareness of the standards of physical fitness and motor skills that our young Australians should be aiming to achieve, a concept we call physical literacy. To reflect this, we are changing our name from the Australian Sports Commission to the more contemporary Sport Australia. 12 The Australian Institute of Sport, wholly owned by Sport Australia, is also changing in response to the changing needs of sports and athletes. More and more the AIS’ primary role is to provide the overarching strategic leadership and direction needed by a dispersed and diverse national sporting system. It’s doing this by ensuring that our national network of nine sports institutes works effectively together towards common goals and provides world-class support for our athletes and coaches where they and their sporting organisations want it around the country. It’s on a mission to ensure that sports have at their disposal the cutting-edge technology and data analytics vital to success today. And it’s broadening the support it provides our elite athletes in mental health and skills for life post sport.

  • Energy and Nutrient Issues in Athletes with Spinal Cord Injury: Are They at Risk for Low Energy Availability?
    nutrients Review Energy and Nutrient Issues in Athletes with Spinal Cord Injury: Are They at Risk for Low Energy Availability? Katherine Figel 1,*, Kelly Pritchett 1, Robert Pritchett 1 and Elizabeth Broad 2 1 Central Washington University, Ellensburg, WA 98926, USA; [email protected] (K.P.); [email protected] (R.P.) 2 United States Olympic Committee, Chula Vista, CA 91915, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: Katherine.fi[email protected]; Tel.: +1-206-755-1001 Received: 8 June 2018; Accepted: 6 August 2018; Published: 13 August 2018 Abstract: Low energy availability (LEA) and nutrient intake have been well studied in able-bodied athletes, but there is a lack of research examining these issues amongst athletes with spinal cord injury (SCI). To date, there have been no studies that have examined energy availability (EA) amongst this population. Furthermore, athletes with SCI may experience unique challenges around nutrition that may increase their risk of LEA. This review will evaluate the literature and assess whether this population is at risk for LEA. Due to the limited research on this topic, sedentary individuals with SCI and para athletes were also included in this review. Review of the current literature suggests that athletes with SCI may be at an increased risk for LEA. While research examining EA and risk of LEA in athletes with SCI is lacking, the number of athletes with SCI continues to increase; therefore, further research is warranted to assess nutrient and energy needs and their risk to this population. Keywords: spinal cord injury; athlete; energy availability; nutrient deficiency; low energy availability; bone mineral density; para athlete; menstrual dysfunction; Female Athlete Triad; Relative Energy Deficiency in Sports (RED-S) 1.
