with confidence– sports now have a more secure platform to grow their capacity and

sustainability

– increased organisational capacity to deliver

Benefits to sport

• Increased opportunities for aspiring emerging athletes through increased investment in TID and Local Sporting Champions program

• Increased funding for athletes and coaches– coach attraction and retention – athletes not “distracted”

• Better aligned high performance program – AIS and State and Territory Institutes of Sport

collaborating and with improved coordination of program delivery

Concluding thoughts

1. We have been given the opportunity to lead an exciting reform agenda for Australian sport – “lets take it”

2. We will encounter some significant challenges going forward- that is the nature of reform and particularly reform involving intergovernmental relations

3. We will need to pay close attention to change management issues and grow our capability in new areas

4. We will need to carefully balance the imperatives of timeliness and getting it right (process and content)
