Australia’s Winning Edge is our game plan for moving from world class to world best

Developed in partnership with Australia’s high performance network, Australia’s Winning Edge provides the high performance sports sector with clear performance targets and a framework for collaboration from 2012-2022.

Australia’s high performance is about

• consistent and sustainable success for Australian athletes and teams on the world stage • greater levels of accountability for performance results • improved governance structures and contemporary reporting and monitoring of performance • engaging, uniting, inspiring and motivating all Australians. The game plan Australia’s Winning Edge is a collaborative effort led by the ASC with key partners in the sport sector, and builds on the National Sport and Active Recreation Policy Framework (the Policy Framework) and National Institute System Intergovernmental Agreement. The following priorities, agreed through the Policy Framework, focus on what is needed to achieve Australia’s Winning Edge.

• • • • •

Investing for success: Investment is targeted to achieve the greatest chance of international success. Planning to perform: Planning and review processes are contemporary and provide for elevated accountability across the sector. The right support: High performance athletes have the right support at the right time along their pathway to international success. Good governance and capability: High performance sports and sector partners have the structure, workforce and leadership capacity to develop successful programs to achieve competitive results and to spend taxpayer funding effectively. Evidence-based decisions: High performance sports and sector partners have a valid and robust evidence base on which to develop winning high performance programs.

AISL ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13

Foreword The

Australian Sports Commission (ASC) is committed to ensuring Australian athletes excel in the international sporting arena, and increasing Australians’ participation in sport.

In 2013-14, the Australian Government, through the ASC, is investing almost $120 million in national sporting organisations for high performance programs and to promote grassroots participation in sport.

These two clear objectives are mutually reinforcing – international success inspires Australians to participate in sport and greater participation helps nurture our future champions. Sport inspires individuals, unites communities and encourages active lifestyles.

Our partner sports can expect a much sharper focus by the ASC in future on best practice governance and administration, intellectual property ownership, athlete management and support structures and general accountabilities by the sports. Equally, the ASC is committed to changing to meet the needs of contemporary sport.

Success at the international level has become even more challenging for Australian athletes. Traditional competitors keep getting better, and rising countries are becoming forces to be reckoned with. Our tenth placing in the medal table at the London Olympic Games continued a downward trend over the past three games. Through Australia’s Winning Edge 2012-2022, our game plan to move Australian sport from world class to world best, we are changing the role of the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) and the delivery of the high performance program, improving the financial performance and position of national sporting organisations (NSOs) and strengthening the governance structures and standards of NSOs.

Importantly, the ASC is focused on promoting grassroots participation in sport throughout Australia and to continue a suite of successful national programs such as the Active After-school Communities program. Increased community sport participation has a profound long term dividend, and remains a vital objective of the ASC. The ASC looks forward to working in collaboration with the sport sector to encourage more people into sport and to drive Australia’s continued international sporting success.

John Wylie AM Chair

Board of the Australian Sports Commission

We have initiated a fundamental reform process to improve Australian sport, by linking high performance sports funding more closely with performance; ensuring the AIS is the world’s best high performance sports institute; modernising governance structures in a number of sports; investing to improve coaching, leadership skills, talent identification and innovation in Australian sport; and reinforcing public confidence in the integrity of sport. These reforms will create lasting change and improvement.

AISL ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13

President’s Report 2013 has been a year of significant achievement and change for Australian International Shooting Limited (AISL). The year has seen success for our elite shooters on the international stage, confirmed continuation of support from the Australian Sports Commission, Australian Olympic Committee, Australian Paralympic Committee and Australian Commonwealth Games Association; and also new appointments to key positions in AISL management and the AISL office.

our former General Manager Damien Marangon was appointed AISL CEO.

International Success A highlight for 2013 has to be the exceptional performances of our young clay target shooters. Laetisha Scanlan won Gold at the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) World Cup in Al Ain, UAE and at the Qatar Open; Catherine Skinner won Silver at two ISSF World Cups (Al Ain, UAE and Nicosia, Cyprus) and Gold at the World University Games in Kazan, Russia.

Australian Sports Commission As has been widely publicised throughout the year the ASC and Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) have undergone significant change and restructure during 2013. With the introduction of Australia’s Winning Edge program “the high performance game plan for moving Australian sport from world class to world best” is the Federal Government’s investment in Australia’s future sporting success.

For our rifle shooters, a highlight has been the rise of our younger shooters. Emma Adams’ performance at her first ISSF World Cup event in Granada as a 14-year-old was exceptional. In pistol, Emily Esposito achieved her highest finish at a World Cup event, the ISSF World Cup in Granada, at only 20 years of age. Our paralympic athletes performed very well in the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) World Cup in Szczecin, Poland, where Natalie Smith won Bronze and Jason Maroney won Silver. At the IPC World Cup in Bangkok, five athletes achieved eight top-eighth finishes. In 300m Rifle, James Corbett won HM the Queen’s Prize in Bisley, UK. In doing so Corbett became only the fifth Australian to have achieved such an honour in the long tradition of the Imperial Meeting. AISL Management Early in 2013, following the resignation of long serving Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Nick Sullivan,

Damien swung into action, and with assistance/support from colleagues at the Australian Sports Commission (ASC), moved quickly to recruit a dedicated High Performance Manager (HPM). Tim Mahon has been in the HPM role now since 29 April, and working with the HP Coaches, has already made significant improvements to the operation of the High Performance Program.

For AISL, Australia’s Winning Edge provides clear performance targets through to 2022, which means greater levels of accountability for performance results, improved governance structures and contemporary reporting and monitoring of performance. Of comfort to the AISL Board is the fact that the AISL CEO and HPM are working collaboratively with the ASC to ensure the funding investment is targeted to achieve international success. Feedback from the ASC is that the partnership is working well; with the expectation that results (Olympic Games, Commonwealth Games, World Cups and World Championships) will be forthcoming. AISL Board In 2013 a new Athlete’s Representative joined the AISL Board. Robyn Ridley has brought the athlete’s perspective and insight to the Board discussions. With the governance changes required by the ASC’s Australia’s Winning Edge

it is proposed that an Athlete’s Representative no longer fill a Board (Director) position. Advice and input will continue to be sought from the Athlete’s Committee to inform future Board considerations and deliberations. I would like to thank Robyn for her valuable and insightful input to the management of AISL and wish her all the best as a new mum and in her future shooting endeavours. Director Russell Mark has indicated that he will not be nominating for reappointment to the Board. Russell has been working very hard on his shooting, and is committed to gain selection for the 2014 Commonwealth Games Team. I would like to sincerely thank Russell for his comprehensive input to the Board. AISL Financials Under the guidance of the CEO, AISL has introduced a new financial accounting/management system this year. This was not a small task and the changeover has been efficiently achieved. The new system allows more targeted financial reporting and granularity where required. Responsible financial management throughout 2013 has allowed AISL to implement planned activities in 2013. Conclusion My sincere thanks to all the volunteers in our Member Bodies, as it is through their generosity and hard work that we are able to develop our athletes and stage our competitions. I would like to thank the members of the AISL Board, the CEO and the AISL Administration Team for all their hard work and support during the year. I would also like to thank the Member Bodies for their support and input and I look forward to your continued support and assistance in the forthcoming year.

CEO’s Report The

sporting landscape has changed! During the past 12 months there has been a significant shift in the Australian sporting landscape, led by the introduction of a new direction encapsulated within ‘Australia’s Winning Edge’. This new strategy articulates the platform for Australian success moving forward and how we must move from world class to world best.

The results and work being done would not have been possible without the direction of the AISL Board, which continues to give of their time and expertise to create a better future for our sport. Thank you to the AISL President Catherine Fettell for her leadership and support and to all of the Board members who have been a critical factor in AISL’s progress.

Importantly, this direction, for the first time, lists targets to define our sporting success and also defines a greater level of accountability and partnership between the Australian Government, it’s delivery agents and AISL.

To the AISL staff for their continued diligence, resilience and desire to be the best they can be, thank you. There has, and will continue to be, the need to challenge ourselves and continuously improve in order to remain successful, and the AISL staff group welcome this with open arms. It is appropriate to acknowledge the former CEO, Nick Sullivan who retired in March of this year after many years of dedication and passion.

This framework provides a great opportunity for us as a sport, but we must take this opportunity through effective planning, efficient resource use and courageous decision making. In recent times AISL has undertaken to do just that and some of the major improvements and undertakings are listed on the next page. Whilst all of this effort has being going on in the background, the critical element of our sport, the athletes, have continued to demonstrate why Australian shooters are revered around the world. Congratulations to four of our athletes who won World Cup medals this season, Catherine Skinner, Laetisha Scanlan, Jason Maroney and Natalie Smith. Most importantly, all these athletes are relatively young in terms of their athlete cycle and so we look forward to seeing their future progress and success.

A sincere thank you to our principal sponsor, the Australian Sports Commission, (ASC), for their ongoing support, advice and partnership. I would also like to acknowledge the Australian Institute of Sport for their backing, and recognise our other major partners in the Australian Commonwealth Games Association, Australian Paralympic Committee and the Australian Olympic Committee. We thank you all for your hard work and contribution to our sport. I would also like to thank the many volunteers who give of themselves to make this sport of ours what it is today. In particular, I would like to thank the Presidents, Boards and Executives of our Member Bodies who do an extraordinary job supporting the sport of shooting across every corner of this country. There are many challenges ahead for us, but together, we will achieve great things.

AISL ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13

High Performance Report “There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.” — Machiavelli: The Prince, 1446-1507

Following on from the London Olympics, Australia undertook a formal review of its high performance system. It would be fair to say shooting’s performance at the Olympics mirrors the misfortunes of Australia: Our Olympic performance peaked more than a decade ago; our overall relative Olympic position has been trending downwards since the Sydney Games; the London Games provided clear signs there are new and re-emerging competitive challenges. Australia’s Winning Edge 2012-2022 strategy was formulated to give more responsibility and accountability to its key stake-holders, the sports, under the following principles: • Targeted investment to achieve the greatest chance of international success; • Planning and review to provide for elevated accountability across the sector; • The right support at the right time for high performance athletes along their pathway to international success; • Good governance and capability within high performance sports; and • Evidence based decisions on which to develop winning high performance programs.

Like other sports, Australian International Shooting Limited (AISL) was required to present to the Australian Sports Commission (ASC) as to how we could contribute to Australia’s Winning Edge (AWE) strategy. Our presentation was assessed under two factors: the capability of current and future shooters; and the quality of the high performance system to deliver on AWE outcomes. Based on our historical performances and current shooter profiles, the ASC has concluded that AISL can contribute to AWE targets for the Olympic Games, Paralympic Games, Commonwealth Games and annual World Championships. Achieving the necessary results at these benchmark events in the future will only occur if we focus upon process related factors rather than concentrating only on the outcome; it is understood that, provided the process steps are in place, the outcome will usually follow. The advent of AWE has given AISL the opportunity to review and revamp its high performance system. Titled Aiming4Gold (A4G), the new high performance model is committed to implementing best practice in all aspects of the development, leadership and management of athletes, teams and coaches. Through a holistic, systematic approach which fully utilises the capacities and experience of athletes and coaches in decision-making and program development, the A4G aims to set world-class standards of management practice in high performance sport.

AISL ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13

High Performance Report The following initiatives have occurred since the employment of a dedicated full-time High Performance Manager in April 2013: • The revised High Performance Plan aligns with the key performance drivers that are critical in achieving success. These key drivers revolve around athletes, coaching, leadership, daily training environment, competition, research and innovation, and crucial from an AISL perspective, partnerships. • The establishment of a new High Performance squad structure and criteria linked to the national nomenclature; • The confirmation of key performance targets to our benchmark events; • Realignment of the timing of squads to a November-to-October time frame; • The introduction of an application and selection process for the A4G squad; • Individualised Athlete Performance Plans addressing athlete needs, both on and off the range; • Realignment of the High Performance Program Joint Management Committee to a High Performance Committee; • Re-engaging with the State Institute/ Academy network to enrich the daily training environment of our athletes; • Working with our discipline sport partners to ensure athlete pathways are aligned; and • A full review of our Performance Qualifying Score system to determine if it contributes or inhibits the achievement of AWE outcomes.

There is no guarantee that these initiatives will ultimately deliver the success we are striving for. However, best practice shows these initiatives increase the probability of success, and, that in itself, would give us a competitive advantage.

Success can only happen if each individual athlete commits to the program to reach their full potential. Shooting should not be the only activity in our athlete’s life — but it must be given the highest priority. As Major League Baseball umpire George Moriarty once wrote in The Road Ahead, or the Road Behind, “Sometimes I think the Fates must grin as we denounce them and insist the only reason we can’t win, is the Fates themselves that miss. Yet there lives on the ancient claim: we win or lose within ourselves. The shining trophies on our shelves can never win tomorrow’s game. You and I know deeper down, there’s always a chance to win the crown. But when we fail to give our best, we simply haven’t met the test, of giving all and saving none until the game is really won; of showing what is meant by grit; of playing through when others quit; of playing through, not letting up. It’s bearing down that wins the cup. Of dreaming there’s a goal ahead; of hoping when our dreams are dead; of praying when our hopes have fled. Yet losing, not afraid to fall, if bravely we have given all. For who can ask more of a man than giving all within his span. Giving all, it seems to me, is not so far from victory. And so the fates are seldom wrong, no matter how they twist and wind. It’s you and I who make our fates - we open up or close the gates on the road ahead or the road behind.”

I look forward to meeting the challenges ahead as we ‘aspire to win’. Tim Mahon High Performance Manager

Coaches Reports

RIFLE Report of PQS again. There are a couple of

Jennifer Hens and Dane Sampson in training before the Grand Prix of Liberation, Plzen, CZE in May 2013.

The 2012/2013 period has been a good year for Australian Rifle Shooters. In the year that follows an Olympic Games, it is necessary to develop new athletes and provide ways for them to gain experience. Our strategy has followed this idea, and we have spent the year finding new faces and working with our younger athletes, to keep our future safe and bright. This will then help us achieve a broader depth of athletes and assist us in our goals to reach the podium. This year there have been some promising signs

of improvement from our newer athletes and juniors. Our attendance at International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) World Cups this year was minimal, as there was a greater focus on domestic preparation; we had only six athletes competing in 13 events. While our group didn’t win any podium spots or finals’ placing at World Cups this year, we had a few positive results at the last ISSF World Cup in Granada, where the 51st World Championships will be held next year. Another pleasing outcome for this year was that our athletes achieved a high number

AISL ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13

Moments worthy of mention are: • Fourteen-yearold Emma Adams competed internationally for the first time ever in January 2013 and in the ISSF World Cup Granada in July. She competed against 102 of the best women at the ISSF World Cup, and shot her Personal Best (PB) of 389 in air rifle, which is an excellent score for any athlete of her age. • Thomas Versace (23 years old) also shot well in Granada and achieved his PB with a very solid score of

623.2 in prone. For Thomas this was his only international competition this year. These results, as well as others from these developing athletes and juniors, show us that we are heading in the right direction. That these younger athletes can achieve such a standard in international competitions ensures that we can look beyond Rio in 2016 and to Tokyo in 2020, as we will have a few young adults who will be ready to compete and attack the podium. This would not happen without the athletes, who have worked very hard throughout the year. Some have made big changes to their living arrangements, moving to Adelaide to ensure their daily training environment is supported continuously, on their way to reach their goals. I would like to thank Carrie Quigley, AISL Coaching Coordinator, for her continuing help with young athletes. Thanks also to Target Rifle South Australia and the volunteers for running competitions of a high standard throughout the year;

Coaches Reports

Pistol Report to Queensland Target Sports and the volunteers and staff at Belmont for their work and support of young athletes; and staff at Sydney International Shooting Centre and volunteers with New South Wales Small Bore and Air Rifle Association for their smooth running of Australia Cups. I would also like to thank all the volunteers and parents across the country for their dedication and support. As we look to the future, we need joint action in finding ways to support our athletes in achieving regular practice with qualified coaches, and in more clubs and ranges around Australia than Adelaide (Reynella) and Brisbane (Belmont). Building a competitive team has always been difficult. Here in Australia, there are extra challenges with distance and the number of athletes. However, it is achievable if we all work together with patience and use extraordinary diligence to reach athlete targets – which are our targets as well.

It has been a challenging year for the Pistol Program with many changes taking some time to resolve. However, these changes bring a sense of confidence that the coming year will be met with renewed energy and focus to contribute to the Australia’s Winning Edge performance targets. An athlete’s development and success achieved is largely dependent on the quality of the high performance environment and the ways in which the athlete interacts with it. To reinforce the importance of committing to a high performance environment, a Junior Training Camp was held in Sydney in December 2012, where 18 young pistol shooters were invited to attend. This was a good opportunity to identify promising young juniors, increase the depth in individual disciplines and highlight the importance of adhering to a daily training program. Many of these athletes have started to compete in their State and Australia Cup competition circuit.

With commitment and ongoing support through the Aiming4Gold high performance program, these juniors will continue to develop to reach their potential. The major change of the pistol program was the resignation of National Pistol Coach Anatoly Babushkin to take up a similar role in Singapore. Anatoly’s significant contributions to pistol shooting in Australia over the last 10 years have been greatly valued. After an extensive worldwide search, we welcome back Vladimir Galiabovitch to the position of National High Performance Pistol Coach after a coaching stint in Kuwait.

Vladimir has a long history with Australian International Shooting, which began in the lead up to the Sydney Olympics. He has a great knowledge of pistol shooting in Australia and is looking forward to the opportunities ahead. Our sincere thanks to Siarhei Yauhleuski and Daniel Esposito who have supported High Performance Squad members Lalita Yauhleuskaya and Emily Esposito with their training and during the transition to a new National High Performance Pistol Coach.

Coaches Reports

Shotgun Report The 2013 season has seen some very good performances. Our juniors and developing team members did very well at the Qatar Open, where we achieved several medals. Laetisha Scanlan was the winner in Women’s Trap, while Joshua Colllard won the bronze medal in Men’s Trap. Women’s Trap shooters Laetisha and Catherine Skinner won Gold and Silver medals at the ISSF World Cup in Al Ain, UAE. Just a month later, Catherine repeated her Silver medal performance at the ISSF World Cup in Cyprus. Later in the year, Catherine won a Gold medal at the World University Games in Kazan, Russia. Both Laetisha and Catherine have been invited to compete at the ISSF World Cup Final in Abu Dhabi, UAE, which is a great reward during this break out year for both young shooters. Our juniors have also shown good results, with Jack Wallace shooting 118 targets in Suhl at the International Junior’s Competition. In 2013 Teegan McCloy shot four Performance Qualifying Scores (PQS) which shows great improvement as a result of her commitment.

Paralympic Preparation Program Report

Skeet shooter Paul Adams at the ISSF World Championship for Shotgun in Lima, Peru.

Paul Adam’s performance in the Skeet event also shows very good improvement. He has been improving during this year, clearly displayed in the fact that he has already achieved four PQS. In 2013, Paul has shot a 124 and a few 122s and above, and his world ranking continues to rise. At the recent ISSF World Shotgun Championship in Lima, Paul positioned himself well within the top ten, shooting 122 out of a possible 125. Paul then went into a fourperson shoot off for the sixth finals’ spot, where he narrowly missed out. In addition to our up and coming athletes, our senior athletes continue to show that their performances are world class. Currently ranked 11th in the world in Men’s Double Trap, Russell Mark narrowly missed the final at the ISSF World Championship in Lima, but did make the final at the ISSF World Cup in Granada, Spain.

AISL ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13

Michael Diamond is currently ranked eighth in the world in Men’s Trap, and Suzy Balogh is currently ranked ninth in the world in Women’s Trap. We have also seen a few good results from our shooters from the 2016 and 2020 squads. Our junior men’s team has been working hard, trying to do their best. I would especially like to point out James Grice, who finished in the top 11th at the ISSF Shotgun World Championship in Lima, while Penny Smith was placed seventh. We are definitely headed in the right direction, which is evident by our solid results. We need to continue to train harder and get better results to be world best. We currently have five shooters ranked in the top 12 in the world and we hope for even better rankings in 2014.

2012-13 has been a good year for AISL’s Paralympic Preparation Program (PPP). AISL has had great success with its Talent Search Days initiative, especially since Natalie Smith was identified from one of these events in 2009/10. Her medal at the London Paralympic Games was a boost in the right direction. The Australian Paralympic Committee (APC) has continued its commitment to our program by providing a small amount of extra funding towards conducting Talent Search Days for people with disabilities. Over the year, AISL has successfully conducted Talent Search Days across Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney. A special thanks to Target Rifle Australia (TRA) and Pistol Australia (PA) and to the host clubs and volunteers for making these events a success. More than 60 new athletes have taken up the sport of shooting, which

is a great prospect for Australian Paralympic shooting. The integration of the PPP group into High Performance (HP) squads has been a great initiative, with the squad continuing to attend training camps, including a very well organised camp in Auckland, New Zealand. The New Zealand team will be invited to join our training camp in February next year, in Sydney.

year, winning Bronze in Poland and making three finals at the benchmark event in Bangkok, managing to be in the top five in the world.

Eight of our athletes competed at the IPC World Cups in Poland, London and Bangkok. Australia’s Paralympic shooting team finished the season on a positive note, with five shooters achieving eight finals’ places in the face of tough international competition at the IPC World Cup in Bangkok, which was also the benchmark event for the year.

Jason Maroney has been very happy with his new rifle, and already showing improvement in his performances, winning Silver in Poland and making a final at the benchmark event in Bangkok.

This sets the scene for a strong foundation leading into the next Paralympic cycle. After the Games in London, all our team members have been using the last 12 months to work with newer and more improved equipment to prepare themselves for the next three important years of competition. All the athletes in AISL’s HP Squad have their individual training plan and competitions calendar, provided by the National HP Coach. Natalie Smith competed in only two world cups this

Bradley Mark has also competed in only two world cups this year, finishing fifth in London, seventh in Bangkok at the benchmark event, and managing to be in the top five in the world.

Ashley Adams had an injury this year, despite which, he managed to compete at the Bangkok IPC World Cup, making the finals in air rifle Our newest HP Squad member, Christopher Pitt has been showing a lot of improvement in the last 10 months, having competed in the IPC World Cup in Poland and then making his first two international finals at the benchmark event in Bangkok. The HP squad needs to work much harder and be challenged with higher goals. Daily Training Environment (DTE), Equipment and Sport Science Sport Medicine (SSSM) are three main identified areas for improvement.

Natalie Smith came third at the IPC World Cup in Szczecin, Poland.

In 2014 our priority is to find the best possible way for our medal prospect athletes to practise as many finals as they can. Our team needs to attend all the IPC World Cups in preparation for next year’s IPC World Championships in Germany (July) and the start of qualification for Rio’16.

I would like to thank all our AISL staff for their support and good work, APC for their ongoing financial support and our athletes and support staff for their full commitment and hard work throughout the year.

The Technical Committee has met once in the past 12 months, with further communications by email, telephone and face-to-face meetings when present at AISL sanctioned competitions. The new Statutes, Rules and Regulations effective January 2013 has been the most significant amendment in recent times, especially the new format for Finals events. This change itself has been under constant review by the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) with at least four editions and several amendments and interpretations issued. It is anticipated that a final edition shall be approved at the ISSF, Administrative Council meeting in late November. AISL has adopted the new rules effective 1 February with amendments released since adoption throughout the year. ISSF World Cups 2014 ISSF Jury applications for World Cups 2014 to be appointed by the ISSF have been selected and forwarded to the ISSF. Successful appointees (if any) should be notified by late 2013.

ISSF Judges Course At extremely short notice the ISSF gave approval for an ISSF Judges Course (the third course approved) late in the year prior to the adoption of the new rules.

ISSF Licence Renewals Across the disciplines renewal notices and application forms have been sent out and returned to AISL for forwarding to the ISSF to complete the renewal.

An appeals process has been put in place and further work will ensue between the disciplines to fully implement a National Federation licencing system. Competitions Officials and all other volunteers have had a busy year with AISL sponsored competitions conducted, and the season shall close with Oceania and AISL Youth Nationals being held at Sydney International Shooting Centre. Thanks to our volunteers The Committee acknowledges and thanks our volunteers for contributing their time and services to the many competitions conducted by AISL during the past year and looks forward to your continued support in the future. We thank you one and all.

The Coaching Committee brings together representatives from each Member Body to develop a strategy for coach education and enhance the development of coaching in the shooting sports. Thank you to the Committee for their commitment to coaches, and their drive to bring about the following initiatives. Coach of the Year Awards The Coaching Committee, together with AISL and the Member Bodies, wishes to identify and acknowledge the very important contributions that are made by our volunteer coaches to athletes and members. Nomination forms for clubs and individuals to acknowledge worthy coaches for this award have been distributed widely. Winners of this award will be presented with trophies at the AISL Awards of Excellence event early in 2014.

Coach Education Club Coach Course AISL’s Club Coach Course has been re-accredited by the Australian Sports Commission (ASC) for a further four years, until 2017. We were also able to send the ASC a copy of the supporting documentation from TRA, NRAA, ACTA and F&GFA. Competition Coach Course AISL’s Competition Coach Course has been reviewed by the Coaching Committee, and is currently being re-accredited by the ASC.

AISL’s Coaching Committee believes there is great value in co-facilitating a multi-discipline Competition Coach Course for all the shooting sports of AISL in each state. The benefits of this are enormous — shared resources and information (as much of the course is generic); as well as greater opportunities for networking between coaches from the different disciplines. Planning and preparation for these courses has now begun, and the courses will be offered throughout 2014.

Coach Re-Accreditation AISL’s Coaching Committee made the decision to move to a competency based assessment of coaches who wish to re-accredit their coaching status. A ‘Re-accreditation Form’ has been developed for club and competition coaches, and is available on the AISL website. Feedback from coaches has been positive, with a firm agreement of the importance of coaches maintaining a high standard of skill. I would like to thank the Committee for their contributions over the year and also gratefully acknowledge the vital role that club coaches around Australia play in developing young athletes.

The High Performance Committee (HPC) has met five times this year. The HPC has been a key feature in AISL’s high performance program. It is made up of our member bodies to comment, influence and support high performance initiatives. A number of key outcomes were achieved by the committee this year, which include: • A revision of its name from High Performance Program Joint Management Committee to High Performance Committee (HPC) • Revision of AISL’s Selection policies for Commonwealth Games and Youth Olympic Games • Implementation of a new AISL Ranking System similar to ISSF • Updating and monitoring of the PQS (Performance Qualifying Scores) • Monitoring and updating of all the HP squads and criteria • Monitoring and updating of various policies • Implementation of a Self Funding Score (SFS).

With the advent of Australia’s Winning Edge (AWE) strategy, there was conjecture as to whether the current High Performance Committee charter was an accurate reflection of its membership and role and how it could contribute to the achievement of AWE outcomes. As a result, a new charter and committee name was established. The Aiming4Gold (A4G) high performance plan is the guiding document for all system partners. The plan’s key performance indicators will drive the process for reporting back to the HPC by each member body on athlete and coach pathways. The High Performance Committee does not assume responsibility for the day to day running of the A4G plan. That appropriately remains the responsibility of the AISL High Performance Manager and National Coaches. However, its ultimate objective is to ensure that the A4G goals are achieved to ensure Australia remains at the forefront of international shooting performance. I would like to thank all representatives involved in the HPC for their valuable contributions and hard work through the year.

The Athletes’ Committee was made up of completely new members this year after the retirement of the previous members from Rifle, Pistol and Shotgun. The committee met once via teleconference and twice face-toface over the past year. Discussions were based around many things, including; the 2014 Commonwealth Games Selection Criteria, the Performance Qualifying Score (PQS) system and scores, High Performance Program, new ranking system, new team uniforms, the Australia Cup series and other competitions and general selection issues. We have also been able to have a representative present at all High Performance Committee meetings over the past 12 months allowing for an athlete’s point of view. The committee has made sure that concerns were raised on the many High Performance issues and decisions that have been made. As Chairperson, I have also been able to be present at all board meetings to give an athlete’s perspective on any decisions being made.

There have been many changes implemented in regards to High Performance this year. This is due to the beginning of a new Olympic cycle and a reflection and review of the last few years. This has also made for a busy year due to the need to introduce selection policies for the Commonwealth Games, Oceania Championship and a review of the General Selection policies. There has also been the introduction of a new High Performance Manager, Tim Mahon, who has been very happy to address any concerns the Athletes’ Committee has brought up, and we look forward to working with him in the future. I would like to thank David, Tom and Geoff for their hard work over the past year. At times we have had differing opinions and this has allowed us to look at issues from all angles. I look forward to working with them again next year as we continue to represent High Performance Squad member athletes and give them an avenue to voice any concerns or suggestions for improving our sport.

Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and have determined that the basis of preparation described in Note 1 to the financial report is appropriate to meet the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and is appropriate to meet the needs of the members. The directors’ responsibility also includes such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of a financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

(c) Property, Plant and Equipment Classes of property, plant and equipment are measured using the cost or revaluation model as specified below.

(d) Financial instruments Financial instruments are recognised initially using trade date accounting, i.e. on the date that Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. AISL ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13

Financial REPORT Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2013

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

On initial recognition, all financial instruments are measured at fair value plus transaction costs (except for instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss where transaction costs are expensed as incurred).

Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is considered immaterial. Significant receivables are considered for impairment on an individual asset basis when they are past due at the reporting date or when objective evidence is received that a specific counterparty will default.

Financial Assets Financial assets are divided into the following categories which are described in detail below: • loans and receivables; • financial assets at fair value through profit or loss; and • held to maturity investments.

The amount of the impairment is the difference between the net carrying amount and the present value of the future expected cash flows associated with the impaired receivable.

Financial assets are assigned to the different categories on initial recognition, depending on the characteristics of the instrument and its purpose. A financial instrument’s category is relevant to the way it is measured and whether any resulting income and expenses are recognised in profit or loss or in other comprehensive income.

For trade receivables, impairment provisions are recorded in a separate allowance account with the loss being recognised in profit or loss. When confirmation has been received that the amount is not collectable, the gross carrying value of the asset is written off against the associated impairment provision.

Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise principally through the provision of goods and services to customers but also incorporate other types of contractual monetary assets. After initial recognition these are measured at amortised cost, less provision for impairment. Any change in their value is recognised in profit or loss. The Company’s trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments.

AISL ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13

Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in profit or loss. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets:

• acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near future or • designated by the entity to be carried at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition.

Financial REPORT Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2013

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Assets included within this category are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in finance income or expenses in profit or loss.

Held to maturity investments Held to maturity investments are non derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity. Investments are classified as held to maturity if it is the intention of the Company’s management to hold them until maturity.

Impairment of financial assets At the end of the reporting period the Company assesses whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.

Held to maturity investments are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with revenue recognised on an effective yield basis. In addition, if there is objective evidence that the investment has been impaired, the financial asset is measured at the present value of estimated cash flows. Any changes to the carrying amount of the investment are recognised in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities Financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual agreements of the instrument. All interest related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instrument’s fair value that are reported in profit or loss are included in the income statement line items “finance costs” or “finance income”. Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ or other financial liabilities depending on the purpose for which the liability was acquired. The Company‘s financial liabilities include, trade and other payables, which are measured at amortised cost.

Financial assets at amortised cost If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets carried at amortised cost has been incurred , the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial assets original effective interest rate. Impairment on loans and receivables is reduced through the use of an allowance accounts, all other impairment losses on financial assets at amortised cost are taken directly to the asset.

(e) Impairment of non financial assets At the end of each reporting period the Company determines whether there is an evidence of an impairment indicator for assets.

Where this indicator exists, the recoverable amount of the assets is estimated.

The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of the fair value less costs of disposal and the value in use. Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from an asset.

Where the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

(f ) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash on hand, demand deposits and short term investments which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

(g) Employee benefits Provision is made for the Companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the end of the reporting year. Employee benefits have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. (h) 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. (i) Income Tax No provision for income tax has been raised as the company is exempt from income tax under Div. 50 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.

(j) Revenue and other income Revenue is recognised when the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity and specific criteria relating to the type of revenue as noted below, has been satisfied. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and is presented net of returns, discounts and rebates. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST). Sale of goods Revenue is recognised on transfer of goods to the customer as this is deemed to be the point in time when risks and rewards are transferred and there is no longer any ownership or effective control over the goods. Interest revenue Interest is recognised using the effective interest method. (k) Goods and Services Tax (GST) Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). Receivables and payable are stated inclusive of GST. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

Marsh Insurance Report IMPORTANT NOTICES

These notices outline your rights and obligations in relation to entering into insurance contracts. It is essential that you read these notices carefully and advise your Assistant Account Executive immediately if you wish to make a further ‘declaration’ or have questions about general or policy specific notices. Disclosure Your Duty of Disclosure - contracts of general insurance subject to the Insurance Contracts Act Before you enter into a contract of general insurance with an insurer, you have a duty, under the Insurance Contracts Act 1984, to disclose to the insurer every matter that you know, or could reasonably be expected to know, is relevant to the insurer’s decision whether to accept the risk of the insurance and, if so, on what terms. You have the same duty to disclose those matters to the insurer before you renew, extend, vary or reinstate a contract of general insurance. Your duty, however, does not require disclosure of matters: • that diminish the risk to be undertaken by the insurer, • that are of common knowledge, • that your insurer knows or, in the ordinary course of its business, ought to know, or • as to which compliance with your duty is waived by the insurer. Non-Disclosure If you fail to comply with your duty of disclosure, the insurer may be entitled to reduce its liability under the contract in respect of a claim, or may cancel the contract. If your non-disclosure is fraudulent, the insurer may also have the option of avoiding the contract from its beginning. Please note that your duty to disclose applies also when you amend, alter, vary or endorse a policy. Disclosure – Subsidiary & Associated Companies Your Duty of Disclosure - Cover which is arranged for subsidiary and/or associated companies in addition to named insured’s. If you enter into a contract of insurance on behalf of any subsidiary and/or related company of the named insured, that subsidiary and/or related company has the same duty of disclosure as the named insured. We recommend that you ensure that each subsidiary and/or related company is made aware of the duty of disclosure and given an opportunity to make any necessary disclosures.

AISL ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13

Utmost Good Faith

Every insurance contract is subject to the doctrine of utmost good faith, which requires that parties to the contract should act toward each other honestly and fairly, avoiding any attempt to deceive in assuming and performing contractual obligations. Failure to do so on the part of the insured may permit the insurer to refuse to pay a claim or to cancel the policy or both.

Change of Risk or Circumstance

It is vital that you advise the insurer of any changes to your company’s usual business. For example, insurers must be advised of any: • mergers or acquisitions, • changes in occupation or location, • new products or services, or • new overseas activities. If you are in doubt as to whether to notify your insurer of a change in business operations, please consult Marsh. Please note that your duty to disclose applies also when you amend, alter, vary or endorse a policy.

Subrogation

Some policies contain provisions that either exclude or reduce the insurer’s liability for a claim if you waive or limit your rights to recover damages from another party in relation to any loss. You may prejudice your rights with regard to a claim if, without the prior agreement from your insurers, you make any agreement with a third party that will prevent the insurer from recovering the loss from that, or another party. If you have such agreements, we may be able to negotiate with the insurer to permit them and therefore we request you advise Marsh of their existence. Examples of such agreements are the ”hold harmless” clauses which are often found in leases, in maintenance or supply contracts from burglar alarm or fire protection installers and in repair contracts. If you are in doubt, please consult Marsh.

Marsh Insurance Report Un-named Parties

Most policy conditions will exclude indemnity to other parties (eg. mortgagees, lessors, principals, etc.) unless their interest is properly noted on the policy. If you require the interest of a party other than the named insured to be covered, you must specifically request this.

Privacy Notice

Marsh Pty Ltd (“Marsh”) and the insurers that Marsh place your insurance with (“Insurer”) are bound by the requirements of the Privacy Act 1988 as amended by the Privacy (Private Sector) Act 2000 (“the Act”), which sets standards on the collection, use, disclosure and handling of personal information.

Where practical, information will be collected from individuals directly, however sometimes it may be collected indirectly by way of a representative. When you give Marsh or your Insurer personal information about other individuals, we rely on you to have made them aware that you will or may provide their information to us, the purposes for which we use it, the types of third parties we disclose it to and how they can access it (as described in this notice).
