How can we help more people enjoy our sport? Social Reach That’s one of the questions we asked ourselves at the start of the year and the question that became central to our 2018 strategy of growth within the commercial department. Across all our platforms, we wanted to help fans, players, spectators, commercial partners, volunteers and officials engage with our sport. We focused on developing stronger relationships with commercial partners and media, and changed our content strategy to deliver greater storytelling, more insights and different content on different platforms. We set ourselves ambitious targets and thanks to a passionate and professional 61.8 million 1.6 million 117,000 team, delivered and exceeded most. impressions in the engagements (likes, people subscribed last 12 months comments, shares, etc.) to the monthly eDM Our media reach increased significantly with more than 56 million people, here and internationally, reached through 15,000 media stories. The value of our coverage was just over $18M according to media monitor iSentia. Close to 500 articles were written by the team for our website, which had close to 62M impressions. The growth was helped, of course by the national team’s impressive performances globally, but was also due to Hockey Australia’s proactive approach to media. On social media, our engagement increased by almost 150% and we gained more than 20,000 new fans, taking our following to more than 330,000 across our social media platforms. The growth came from our changed approach to content development, with a much greater focus on video and 365,000 306,100 389,000 storytelling, allowing fans, players and volunteers to tell their story. link clicks followers website visitors The inclusive approach and focus on engagement were also taken with our commercial partners, through social (including LinkedIn) this year with Hockey Australia working closely with each to ensure the partnership was successful.

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 Robert D D Collie 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, 15 May 2019 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.
