Athletics Australia is currently seeking Expressions of Interest for up to two independent members for the High-Performance Advisory Group.

The purpose of the HPAG is to provide advice and support to the HPD, CEO and staff of AA with a view to enhancing the AA High Performance program.

The group is not intended to replace the decision-making authority of AA or the AIS, nor replace the associated accountabilities of their Boards or senior staff, but instead to complement the existing governance structures.

• Leading edge international HP athletics programs

• Leading edge domestic HP sporting programs

• Sports finances and strategies

• Sports science and sports medicine

• Coaching and coach development

Operation

The HPAG will meet twice a year as a minimum and more frequently as demand dictates.

The agenda for each meeting, items on which advice will be sought from the HPAG, will be agreed between the CEO, HPD and the Chair in advance.

AA will provide secretariat support to the Group.
