Joint Standing Committee on the National Capital and External Territories Question 1 Hansard Questions on Notice - Joint Standing Committee on the National Capital and External Territories Question 1 Mr SNOWDON: What interaction is there between the AIS and the University of Canberra? What cooperation exists between the two organisations? What research takes place with the AIS on behalf of the University of Canberra or vice versa? Mr SNOWDON: Would you mind providing us, on notice, with a list of all those things you participate with them in? Mrs Palmer: Broadly with universities or just the University of Canberra? Mr SNOWDON: All of them would be great, so we understand what that interaction is. ANSWER: • The Australia Institute of Sport (AIS) has partnerships in place with a total of 19 Universities. • 15 of these partnerships involve supporting PhD Scholarship placements whereby students undertake research projects focusing on an identified high performance sport topic as agreed with the AIS, the University and a respective sport. The student is primarily based at the AIS Canberra campus accessing site facilities, engaging with AIS expertise and interacting with the sport involved in the research project. • The nature of some partnerships, such as with the University of Canberra, also involve joint appointments of staff to undertake a schedule of work with mutual benefits for the AIS and the university. • The AIS collaborates with universities such as LaTrobe in the field of computer/ machine vision; and University of Canberra in the field of statistics and data analytics. • In some cases the partnership also involves the AIS accessing specialised facilities such as the Environmental Chamber (University of Canberra) and the Wind Tunnel (Monash University). Question 2 ACTING CHAIR: Going back to those visitor numbers: you mentioned 520,000 per year, and that was a one per cent increase from last year. How do you calculate those numbers? ACTING CHAIR: Can we get a breakdown of the composition of the 520,000? ACTING CHAIR: You said it increased last year. Can I get a trend about where those numbers have been over the last five or 10 years? ANSWER: The breakdown of visits to the AIS campus over the last 6 years (period over which this data has been collected in this form) is as follows: Description 2017-18 2016-17 2015-16 2014-15 2013-14 2012-13 Events & Camps 105,000 96,000 113,000 110,000 117,000 119,000 AIS Tours 125,000 113,000 114,000 115,000 108,000 115,000 Residences – Commercial 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 Residences – National Sporting 9,000 9,000 9,000 8,000 8,000 8,000 Organisations Residences - School groups 8,000 8,000 7,000 7,000 6,000 7,000 Swim School 140,000 137,000 128,000 138,000 157,000 147,000 Fitness Centre 74,000 71,000 66,000 60,000 69,000 66,000 Public swimming 55,000 77,000 75,000 72,000 77,000 68,000 Total 521,000 516,000 517,000 515,000 547,000 535,000 Notes: • These figures generally represent visits to the campus as opposed to total visitors. For example one individual visitor may attend multiple events on multiple occasions. • Events & Camps relates to approximate number of visitors to the site attending concerts, functions, sporting and other events not otherwise captured in the following categories; • AIS Tours relates to participants undertaking a tour of the AIS, including school groups and general members of the public; • Residences – Commercial reflects the number of guests who have stayed on site from the general commercial sector including sporting clubs, associations and community groups; • Residences – National Sporting Organisations reflects the number guests who have stayed on site from National and State Sporting organisations including athletes, coaches, officiators and administrators; • Residences - School groups reflects the number of children and teachers from school groups who have stayed on site; • Swim School relates to the number of individuals participating in swim school classes each term, noting that a single person enrolled in the Swim School class visits ten times during a school term; • Fitness Centre includes: o member and casual visits to the gym, attendance at group fitness classes and participation in personal training sessions; o day registrations in the School Holiday Programs noting that a single person enrolled in the School Holiday Program generally visits five to ten times during a school holiday period; o participation in the Sports Experience Program; • Public swimming reflects the number of visits to the Aquatic & Fitness Centre for casual swimming. Question 3 ACTING CHAIR: Speaking of trends, you said there's 50 athletes currently living there now. How does that compare, again, over the last five or 10 years? Has it gone up? Has it stayed the same? What sort of athletes are they, and, again, has that changed over the last decade? ANSWER: The number of athletes staying on site on a long term basis over the last 5 years is as follows: No. Long Stay Year Main sports Reason for any significant change from previous year Athletes 2018 52 Basketball Addition of full NBA Men’s program 2017 40 Basketball Addition of partial NBA Men’s program from mid-year Drop off in Rowing, Swimming, Gymnastics to offsite/share 2016 36 Basketball arrangements Basketball, 2015 48 Gymnastics, Rowing Basketball, 2014 47 Rowing, Swimming Please note: • Approximately 9,000 athletes, coaches, officiators and administrators from the High Performance Sport Sector stay on site in any given year during short stay camps; • Even when the AIS hosted scholarship programs, the number of long stay athletes averaged only 100 to 110. Question 4 Mrs Palmer: Five years ago, the AIS changed its programming and moved out of scholarships, and at that point the residential programs changed, so the number of athletes staying on campus full time dropped significantly. That's been taken up by the camp based program. Many sports come for a number of days. It might be a pre-embarkation camp to an international competition somewhere. Mr SNOWDON: Has there been any evaluation of the impact of that change in policy on the outcomes for the athletes? Mrs Palmer: Yes. We monitor the performance of athletes on an annual basis. We can provide you the data on that. But even in the early days, the majority of medals won by Australia were won by athletes who were not resident at the AIS. Mr SNOWDON: I'm not particularly interested in medals. I'm more interested in what happens at the institute in terms of what happened during the period when scholarship holders existed in terms of their performance and in terms of a whole load of measurements. Mrs Palmer: We measure performance by the outcomes of athletes— Mr SNOWDON: Winning isn't every bloody thing! Mrs Palmer: No, and that's certainly a premise of ours—the most important thing. Medals are actually important because we as a country invest significantly in high performance, but more important to us is the values Mr SNOWDON: I'd be interested in what metrics you used for evaluation of performance, aside from medals. Particularly, is there a measurable difference in those metrics from the full-time scholarship holders to what now currently exists? ANSWER: In accordance with the recently developed High Performance Strategic Plan, high performance success is to be measured across three areas: • Podium success – measured by medals, the number of medallists and the breadth of sports medalling • Pride and Inspiration – measured by the level of positive sentiment about the system including sporting results, athlete role models and athlete engagement with the community • World Leading System – measured by the key system drivers being assessed as providing effective support for current and future cycle success and comparing favourably to top countries systems. These metrics have been developed to reflect a national focus and the changed high performance landscape post AIS scholarship programs. Prior to the cessation of AIS scholarship programs, the AIS had the following metrics in place • Australian medals at benchmark events won by athletes supported by the AIS, state and academy institutes and academies of sport, the Australian Paralympic Committee and relevant universities. • NSOs achieving the key performance indicators listed in their high performance plans. • Level of impact from applied research and development projects. • The impact of ASC initiatives to improve NSO capability to delivery their high performance programs • Improvement in the sharing of knowledge and improved practices in the delivery of high performance programs. • The impact that direct financial support on athletes’ ability to prepare for competition Whilst there has been a decline in medal outcomes since 2000, for a variety of reasons, the majority of that decline occurred under the old scholarship system that existed until 2013. Question 5 ACTING CHAIR: As I said, I would just like to get an idea about how that has changed over time and also what disciplines and sports they're in. You've got accommodation out there. How many beds have you got. Mrs Palmer: Six hundred beds. ACTING CHAIR: If we could get an idea of the average occupancy and, of course, the peaks and troughs over the year and over the last decade as well, that would be helpful, because it's a lot of space that's not being used. ANSWER: The following graph highlights the occupancy rate at the AIS Residences over the ten year period 2009 to 2018. Whilst there may only be 50 athletes staying on site on a long stay arrangement, approximately 9,000 athletes, coaches, officiators and administrators from the High Performance Sport Sector stay on site in any given year. Whilst the average occupancy in 2018 has been 35%, this rate should be interpreted with the following details: • the average is calculated across the whole of the calendar year, including public holidays and Christmas season which are traditionally very low occupancy periods.

  • AIS and Black Dog Partner to Improve Mental Fitness in Young Australians
    AIS and Black Dog partner to improve mental fitness in young Australians 27th July 2020 EMBARGOED UNTIL 10AM MONDAY 27TH JULY 2020 Australian Olympic, Paralympic and Commonwealth Games athletes are joining the fight to help reduce rates of mental health issues in young children as part of a new community partnership between the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) and Black Dog Institute. Designed to help young people manage their mental health and improve their general wellbeing, the Mental Fitness Program will see 27 current and former elite athletes assist in delivering mental wellbeing presentations, both in-person and online, at high schools throughout the country. Mental Fitness Program presenter and Commonwealth Games gold medal winning boxer Harry Garside said his personal experience with mental health education at school was a game-changer. “I wanted to get involved in the Mental Fitness Program because I know firsthand that these workshops can have a significant impact and change the course of a young person’s life,” said Mr Garside. “As an elite athlete, I want to role model behaviour that promotes self-care and positive psychology to help improve the wellbeing and resilience of young Australians.” In Australia, it is estimated that 1 in 5 people will experience symptoms of mental illness in any given year, and approximately 60% of those people won’t seek help. Over 75 per cent of mental health issues develop before the age of 25 which shows the importance of tackling the subject from an early age. Black Dog Institute Director and Chief Scientist Helen Christensen said the ability to bring sport and community together to teach meaningful life skills was needed now more than ever.

  • Project Overview and Methodology
    Project Overview and Methodology o what are our national sporting organisations, federal and state government departments, human rights and anti-discrimination agencies and non-government Sbodies doing to combat racism and prejudice in sport? And what steps have been taken to develop an inclusive, non-discriminatory culture within sport by players, spectators and the broader viewing public? To find an answer to this, over the past six months the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission (HREOC) has been working on a project funded by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship to conduct a survey of these different groups to see what strategies and projects have been put in place to achieve these goals. Project outline The following activities were undertaken as part of this project. l An audit of the existing strategies that have been adopted by selected sporting organisations, codes, government and non-government sports’ agencies and human right institutions, both domestically and internationally (selective), to combat racism and prejudice within sport. Included in this audit are those strategies that utilise sporting events and/or sportspeople to convey a message of cultural inclusion and non-discrimination directed to sporting spectators and the broader viewing public. This audit will identify gaps in the existing strategies and identify potential new strategies. l Gather available baseline data in relation to the level of participation by Indigenous and Culturally and Linguistically Diverse communities in sport. l Consult broadly with relevant organisations to expand on available material in this area. l Provide the audit report as a basis for DIAC to consider future policy strategies aimed at both addressing racism within sport, as well as promoting an inclusive and non- discriminatory attitude by players, supporters and the broader viewing public.
