4 men's high performance program

2016 was a mixed year for the Kookaburras, with an early taste of success at the Azlan Shah Cup in Ipoh, , followed by an epic shoot-out victory against at the Champions Trophy in London.

However, the gold they had been dreaming of at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games eluded them, and they finished in 6th position. Their lowest placing in 56 years since the 1960 Rome Olympic games. Following on from the Games, arguably the greatest Kookaburras player of all time, hung up his hockey stick, leaving the Kookaburras to descend on a new era of hockey.

The Kookaburras continued as the World #1 team, going on to win the Trans-Tasman Trophy in New Zealand in November, before taking out the International Festival of Hockey against rivals New Zealand, India and Malaysia in Melbourne.

Following on from the Olympic Games, Kookaburras head coach Graham Reid stood down from his post, with assistant coach Paul Gaudoin stepping into the post in the interim. Former Kookaburra Colin Batch was appointed as the new head coach of the Kookaburras at the end of November.

The Kookaburras finished 2016 as the number 1 world ranked team.

The Hockeyroos faced a difficult year in 2016. They began the year well with a third place at the Hawke's Bay Cup in New Zealand followed up by second place at the International Hockey Open in Darwin. From there, the girls went on to the Champions Trophy in London, where a shoot-out in the bronze medal match saw them defeated by the USA.

The Rio 2016 Olympics were next, and after making it through to the quarter finals, the Hockeyroos finished in sixth position, sadly their lowest finish since the Australian national hockey team debuted at the Olympics in 1984.

The Hockeyroos bounced back, going on to win the joint trans-Tasman Trophy with the Kookaburras and the test series against the Indian Eves in Melbourne in November.

Jason Duff took over the reins from after the Rio Olympic Games, before Paul Gaudoin was appointed as the new women’s national coach late in the year. Changes also occurred within the playing group with a new fresh-faced Hockeyroos squad announced in December. The focus is very much on developing new talent and a flexible attitude on the pitch in the lead up to Gold Coast 2018 and Tokyo 2020.

The Hockeyroos finished 2016 as the number 4 world ranked team.

DELOITTE TOUCHE TOHMATSU Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue Alison Brown an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of Partner assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Chartered Accountants Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Melbourne, 3 May 2017 Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
