Sporting Schools Programs
Early in the year, Term 1 Sporting Schools programs got off to a good start, until we quickly realised the impact that COVID would have on the school environment in the terms ahead. 36 school programs went ahead in Term 1, before Term 2 programs quickly transitioned to teacher delivered programs.
Hockey NSW created a resource pack for teachers to deliver their own programs within their schools and we held a virtual meeting to upskill these teachers and provide them with the support that they needed to facilitate fun and safe hockey programs. Term 3 saw us back in the schools again as well as still offering teacher delivered programs, with 55 programs going ahead. We finished the year off with our biggest Term 4 yet, visiting 56 schools.
Our casual coaching network is a vital part of delivering these programs, and this year our main aim was to keep them as informed as possible through all the changes. We hosted a coaching workshop via ZOOM to upskill them, and provide further opportunities for them to develop as a coach. We also wanted to ensure that they felt safe entering the schools in a COVID world, so were kept up to date with the COVID procedures, equipment and resources to keep them safe and healthy. We provided full commitment and support as they offered their time to keep hockey in schools for 2020.

MEDIA & COMMUNICATIONS
With COVID forcing our hockey community online for a large part of 2020, it was a very busy year for the Media & Communications team. Not only was a whole suite of new and engaging content required, but there was also a emphasis on clear, timely and efficient communication with our members on changes and updates as the COVID situation evolved.
In addition to their regular communications tasks, the Media and Communications team were able to complete some exciting projects such as a website refresh that included the introduction of a new accessibility tool for disabled users. They also launched the Cub Club alongside the Participation team, as well as delivering a comprehensive organisational communications strategy, including an updated stakeholder matrix and plan.

PATHWAY & PERFORMANCE
During March, at the final training weekend for the NSW Under 15 and Under 18 State teams, Hockey Australia made the decision to cancel the 2020 National Championships. This was very disappointing for the 500+ athletes that Hockey NSW sends away to National Championship events each year.
As 2020 unfolded and it became apparent that State Championships were also going to be cancelled, Hockey NSW introduced an addendum to our selection policy that allowed for all 2021 squads to be identified from performances in local competitions that started back up after July 18th. This process engaged with each of the 27 Associations across NSW as well as Hockey NSW RPC's and State Team Coaches, who submitted athletes for consideration and inclusion into the NSW squads. The squads were also increased in size to allow for more athletes to be included and potentially gain selection. The temporary process was well received in the community and culminated in the successful selection of 240 athletes across the 2021 Under 15 and Under 18 State Squads. These squads gathered for the first time at a joint training session in December at Moorebank.

MEMBER ENGAGEMENT
Our 27 Member Associations across the State are some of Hockey NSW's most important stakeholders. As part of our ongoing strategic plan, Hockey NSW have identified several key projects within various pillars that can help build an efficient delivery system for hockey, and safeguard the integrity of our sport.
It is hoped that these projects will improve the quality of the support we can provide Associations and their Clubs, as well as reducing the time and energy burden on our hard working volunteers in NSW.
Association Feedback Survey Hockey NSW is always working to improve the hockey experience for not only our players but our administrators as well. As part of this commitment, Hockey NSW released the first Association Check-in Survey to hear from each of our 27 Associations about what’s working and how we can do better.
Some of the key findings from the survey were:
• 94% of Associations were satisfied with the support from Hockey NSW in 2020.
• COVID support and communications were the top two things Associations believed Hockey NSW excelled at during 2020
• The majority of Associations want help from Hockey NSW in 2021 to increase their promotion and profile and assist with umpire and official development.

COVID SAFETY
Immediately after grassroots sport was suspended in March, Hockey NSW staff sprung into action to ensure that when hockey was finally allowed to resume, everyone in our community would be ready for the massive changes coming their way.
In order to manage Hockey NSW's response to the pandemic, a COVID safety committee was quickly convened. This committee was vital in planning and executing all elements of a robust Safety Plan and Return to Play Plan, as well as communicating with various stakeholders during early 2020.
Communication was the top priority for the COVID Safety Committee, so a number of virtual meetings and forums were held frequently with venues, volunteers, officials and participants to keep them informed as Government advice changed from day-to-day.
Hockey NSW also became a key partner of the Winter Sports Alliance along with Netball NSW, NSW Rugby League, Football NSW, AFL NSW/ACT and NSW Rugby Union. The Alliance was formed to assist with the lobbying of Government for funding, support and the recommencement of community sport. The Alliance was a key part to securing the future of hockey in NSW.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FORHockey NewTHE South YEAR Wales ENDEDLimited 31 DECEMBER 2021 Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2020
Note 1. Corporate information
Hockey New South Wales Limited (the Company) is a company incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The Company is a public company limited by guarantee. The registered office and principal place of business of the Company is Level 3, Sydney Olympic Park Hockey Centre, Shirley Strickland Drive, Sydney Olympic Park, NSW, 2127.
The Company is a not-for-profit entity and is primarily involved in administering the sport of hockey throughout New South Wales
Note 2. Basis of preparation
(a) Statement of compliance The Company is a not-for-profit private sector entity and has elected to prepare the financial statements as Tier 2 general purpose financial statements under AASB 1053 Application of Tiers of Australian Accounting Standards.
These financial statements comply with the recognition, measurement and presentation requirements of all Australian Accounting Standards, but apply simplified disclosure requirements.
The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 26 February 2021.
The presentation and classification of some items in the financial statements has been changed from the previous period based on: i) the issuance of AASB 1060 which sets out a new, separate disclosure Standard to be applied by all entities that are reporting under Tier 2 of the Differential Reporting Framework in AASB 1053. The Standard replaces the previous Reduced Disclosure Requirements (RDR) framework. The Company elected to adopt the standard early and has applied it in the current financial report. ii) while implementing AASB 1060, a full review was undertaken of the financial report presentation and disclosures. It was determined that the revised formats as applied in this financial report are more appropriate having regard to the criteria for the selection and application of accounting policies in AASB 108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. This has included changing from presentation of a statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and a separate statement of changes in equity, to presentation of the same information in a single statement titled statement of income and retained earnings.
The Company elected to adopt AASB 2020-1 relating to the classification of liabilities as current and non-current, from and including the current reporting period, the implementation of which has had no impact on the current or comparative reporting date.
(b) Going concern
COVID-19 caused considerable disruption to the 2020 hockey season with related impacts on membership registration revenue and events that generate revenue for the Company. Decisions were made to remain viable throughout the year and still continue to provide member services. Reductions in employee hours and general operating costs along with rent relief contributed to protect the accumulated reserves and remain cash positive. Significant government stimulus funding was gratefully received such as JobKeeper, CashFlow Boost and State Government funding.
The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Company reported a loss for the current reporting period but a positive current net asset position as at reporting date. The cash assets of the Company increased during the year given the membership reward to members. It is expected that the Company will maintain its exemption from income tax. The Company is able to reset membership fees each year, targeting a surplus based on the strategy and budget for the year. Management is focussed on further diversifying revenue sources and the ongoing tight management of operational costs. Based on the combined consideration of these and other factors, the Board has prepared the financial report on a going concern basis.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FORHockey NewTHE South YEAR Wales ENDEDLimited 31 DECEMBER 2021 Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2020
Note 2. Basis of preparation (continued) (c) Basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared, except for cash flow information, using the underlying principle of accrual accounting. The specific measurement bases for each type of asset, liability, income and expense are described in the accounting policies below.
(d) Current versus Non-current classification Amounts are classified as current where they are expected to be realised or settled within 12 months from reporting date, except where for a liability there is a right at reporting date to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months following reporting date. All other amounts are reported as non-current.
(e) Functional and presentation currency These financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.
(f) Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.
Areas that involve judgement and estimation include: - Receivables - economic and other forecasts applied in determining the expected credit losses; - Long service leave - forecast employee wage increases and the probability that an employee reaches the criteria as set out in the Long Service Leave Act (1956) - Equipment – estimated useful life of each asset, the pattern of usage of the benefits, and the residual value. - Membership revenue - Allocation across extended membership period following COVID-19 driven membership registration reward program.
There is no single area of judgement or estimation for which it is considered a reasonable change would have a significant impact on the surplus or financial result or position for the reporting period.
During the year, the method for estimating the depreciation of equipment was changed from the declining value method to the straight-line method. This change was applied prospectively from 1 January 2020. The total depreciation charged over the useful life of an asset is the same under these two methods, however the amounts charged to different financial periods can be different.
During the year, the annual membership year was changed to align with the financial year and the annual period of the personal accident insurance policy. This change will have a minor impact on the timing of recognition of membership fees.
(g) Changes in significant accounting policies The following changes in accounting policies were applied in the current reporting period: The change to presentation of a statement titled Statement of Income and Retained Earnings referred to in note 2(a). The classification of a liability as non-current where there is a right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period in accordance with AASB 2020-1.
(h) Comparatives The accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements. Where necessary, comparative information has been reclassified to conform with the current period’s presentation.
(i) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted Of those standards that are not yet effective there are none which are expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements in the period of initial application.

3. Significant accounting policies (a) Revenue In cases where there is an enforceable contract with a customer with sufficiently specific performance obligations, the income is recognised when, or over time as, the performance obligations are satisfied. In all other cases the income is recognised upon receipt. These principles impact on different revenue sources differently, driven by differences in the underlying contracts.
Individual member registration fees are recognised as revenue when received as the services to be delivered are not sufficiently specific and the members can only receive a refund on application for circumstances that may vary for each member.
With effect from 1 January 2021, the annual membership period will run from 1 January to 31 December to align with the financial year and the annual period of the personal accident insurance policy protection. The membership year previously ran from 1 April to 31 March, though a shortened period of 1 April to 31 December was applied for 2020.
During the current financial year, the COVID-19 disruption to the 2020 hockey season was the driver for the decision to offer a membership reward to all individual members registered prior to 18 July 2020. The reward being the fees paid were accepted as full payment for both the membership period starting from 1 April 2020, and for the membership year starting from 1 January 2021. Those membership fees were then allocated across the extended membership period of 21 months based on the relative delivery of service to members over that period. Members who had registered prior to the commencement of the pandemic were offered a full refund of monies paid as an alternative to the reward as no hockey was played until July 2020.
Association member affiliation fees are recognised as revenue when invoiced.
Government grant revenue is recognised over time as the specific performance obligations of the grant are being fulfilled. Where the performance obligations are not sufficiently specific, revenue is recognised when the Company receives control over the funds. To the extent that specific grant funding remains unexpended at reporting date, the balance of grant funds are brought to account as a liability ‘Deferred Revenue', consistent with provisions embodied in the service agreements.
Government stimulus funding is recognised as revenue upon receipt.
Sponsorship revenue is recognised as revenue matched to annual contracted obligations or evenly over the period.
Event Revenue from organising and hosting events is recognised over the period in which the events are held.
Interest Revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method.
(b) Equipment and Motor Vehicles Items of equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company. Ongoing repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
The depreciable amount of an item of equipment, being the cost less the estimated residual value, is depreciated on a straight-line basis (unless the pattern of usage of the benefits is significantly different) over the estimated useful life of each asset (for the comparative period the diminishing value basis was applied). Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss. The depreciation rates used for each class of equipment are:
Computer & Office Equipment : 10% - 50% Hockey and Game Equipment: 10% - 50% Office Fixtures & Fittings: 8% - 40% Motor Vehicles: 25%
The residual value, the useful life and the depreciation method applied to an asset are reviewed annually for appropriateness. The impact from revisions to these accounting estimates are recognised prospectively in current and future periods only.
The carrying amount of equipment assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the recoverable amount of the assets is estimated. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.
The gain or loss on disposal of an item of equipment is calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount of the asset at the time of disposal. The amount is recognised in profit or loss.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FORHockey NewTHE South YEAR Wales ENDEDLimited 31 DECEMBER 2021 Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2020
3. Significant accounting policies (continued) (c) Financial assets The financial assets held by the Company are standard market instruments in the form of cash at bank, term deposits, receivables and other receivables. Financial assets are initially recognised in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets are classified according to their contractual cash flow characteristics and the business model under which they are held. The principal activity of the Company is to act as a not-for-profit entity in administering the sport of hockey throughout New South Wales and this is reasonably expected to continue to be the case. As such, the Company’s business model for managing financial assets is to hold them to collect contractual cash flows. Therefore, financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, except trade receivables which are recognised and carried at original invoice amount.
Receivables Receivables are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less impairment losses, if any. They are generally settled within 90 days. Impairment losses are based on the lifetime expected credit losses. All movements in the loss allowance are recognised through profit or loss.
Other receivables For receivables, other than trade receivables, the subsequent measurement at amortised cost is performed using the effective interest method. These other receivables are non-interest bearing and are not discounted because they are generally settled within 30 days.
The Company does not hold any receivable that is past due or for which the terms have been renegotiated. All balances are expected to be received by the due date.
For these other receivables, a loss allowance is generally recognised based on expected credit losses in the next twelve months. But where a receivable is determined to have other than low credit risk, and where the credit risk on that asset has increased significantly since initial recognition (including where an amount has become 30 days past due), the loss allowance is measured based on the lifetime expected credit losses. The expected credit losses are determined after considering all reasonable and supportable information, including historical credit loss experience and economic and other forecasts. All movements in the loss allowance are recognised through profit or loss.
Term deposits For term deposits, the subsequent measurement at amortised cost is performed using the effective interest method which allocates interest income over the relevant period.
(d) Payables Payables are initially recognised in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. They are initially measured at fair value less transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issue of the liability, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. The amounts are non-interest bearing and are not discounted because they are generally settled within 30 days.
(e) Leases The Company, as a lessee, recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date for all leases, except those with terms of twelve months or less, and for leases of low-value assets. For those leases, the lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are unpaid as at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by lease payments made.
The initial measurement of the right-of-use asset is based on the lease liability, with adjustments for any prepaid rents, lease incentives received and initial direct costs incurred. The asset is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FORHockey NewTHE South YEAR Wales ENDEDLimited 31 DECEMBER 2021 Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2020 3. Significant accounting policies (continued) (f) Employment expenses Provision is made for the Company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the end of the reporting period. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits expected to be settled later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. In determining the liability, consideration is given to employee wage increases and the probability that the employee may not satisfy vesting requirements. Those cash outflows are discounted using market yields on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cash flows. Any change in the measurement of the liability is recognised in profit or loss.
Employer obligations to superannuation, as per the Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act 1992, are recognised as an expense in profit or loss in the period during which services are rendered by the employees.
(g) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. Provisions recognised represent the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period.
(h) Inventories Inventories relate primarily to NSW Pride merchandise and are valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs to make the sale.
(i) Goods & Services Tax Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except: a) where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of expense; or b) for receivables and payables which are reported inclusive of GST. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office is included as part of receivables and payables.
Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
(j) Income tax Income tax has not been recognised as the Company is exempt from income tax under Division 50 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.
(k) Volunteer services The Company receives the benefit of volunteer services from a number of people at various events and in various roles where revenue is earned. The value of these volunteer services is not recognised in the financial statements.

The Company has one property lease for the offices at Sydney Olympic Hockey Centre. The two-year lease expires on 28 February 2021. In response to COVID-19, the lessor granted rent relief by waiving 100% rent from April 2020 to September 2020 and 50% from October 2020 to February 2021. This has been accounted for in accordance with AASB 2020-4. The implicit interest rate of 5% was used in calculating the lease liability.

These funds are held under a Memorandum of Understanding with the Parramatta Women’s Hockey Association and are committed to promote, administer and facilitate the game of hockey in the Paramatta region of NSW.
