MESSAGE FROM

THE AUSTRALIAN SPORTS COMMISSION

(AUSTRALIA’S WINNING EDGE SPORTS)

I

t has been another significant year for the Australian Sports Commission and the sports network as we continue to work together to pursue victory on the world stage and inspire all Australians to experience the joy of sport.

Despite a challenging economic environment, in 2013–14 the Australian Government invested almost $120 million in our national sporting organisations. In high performance, Australia’s Winning Edge continues to evolve as we target sports with potential to deliver international success and invest more in our most promising athletes.

Some highlights in 2013–14 have included:

• Campaign Rio — a partnership between the AIS, Australian Olympic Committee and Australian Paralympic Committee to prepare athletes for the Rio Olympic Games.

• AIS Centre for Performance Coaching and Leadership — the Centre continues to develop Australia’s coaches and high performance leaders, with a Podium Coach program launched.

• AIS Sports Draft — a fast-tracked development program for talented athletes who are interested in transferring to Olympic or Commonwealth Games sports.

JOHN WYLIE AM

Chair Australian Sports Commission

Our work with sports to reform governance structures and develop their strategic and commercial capabilities also continues. The ASC is determined to create better businesses and we are leading the way with a lean and agile operating model, a new AIS brand, and continued focus on philanthropy through the Australian Sports Foundation.

Grassroots participation remains a key priority, with the Australian Government’s announcement of the Sporting Schools program a significant endorsement of community sport. The $100 million program will commence in 2015 — reaching more than 850,000 children — and will enable sports to boost their participation numbers.

Australian sport is on a transformative journey. Few periods have been filled with so much activity or so much promise, and I appreciate your hard work and support over the past year. By joining us on this journey you continue to prove your capacity to succeed in this ever-changing sporting landscape.

PRESIDENT’S REPOR

‘‘

I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS MY SINCERE THANKS TO ALL THE VOLUNTEERS IN OUR MEMBER BODIES, AS IT IS THROUGH THEIR HARD WORK AND WILLINGNESS TO CONTRIBUTE THEIR TIME, THAT WE ARE ABLE TO DEVELOP OUR ATHLETES AND STAGE OUR COMPETITIONS.

014 has been a year of successes for Shooting Australia (SA) both in Australia and internationally. In the past year we have made further governance improvements/achievements at SA that have been acknowledged by the Australian Sports Commission (ASC) and, most importantly, our athletes have achieved success on the international stage beyond expectations.

Our athletes are to be praised for their fine performances in 2014.

This has resulted in confirmed continuation of support from the ASC, Australian Olympic Committee, Australian Paralympic Committee and Australian Commonwealth Games Association.

INTERNATIONAL SUCCESS Our athletes have again achieved high international world ranking in 2014 in the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) events. At the time of writing, Warren Potent was ranked 1st in 50m Rifle Prone Men and Catherine Skinner 3rd and Laetisha Scanlan 9th in Trap Women.

It was indeed a good result that SA athletes performed so well at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games and 2014 ISSF World Championship in Granada, Spain.

In both competitions the medal count exceeded expectations.

The Commonwealth Games shooting team of 29 athletes brought home six Gold and two Bronze medals, the best individual results for an Australian shooting team in recent times.

Gold medals were won by: Shotgun: Laura Coles in Skeet Women; Laetisha Scanlan in Trap Women and Adam Vella in Trap Men.

Pistol: Daniel Repacholi in 10m Air Pistol Men; and David Chapman in 25m Rapid Fire Pistol Men. Rifle: Warren Potent in 50m Rifle Prone Men.

Both David Chapman and Warren Potent set new Commonwealth Games Final records.

Bronze medals were won by: • Lalita Yauhleuskaya in 25m Pistol Women and Daniel Repacholi in 50m Pistol Men. Other finalists included: Shotgun: Paul Adams in Skeet Men; Catherine Skinner in Trap Women; Lauryn Mark in Skeet Women; Tom Turner in Double Trap Men; Michael Diamond in Trap Men and Emma Cox and Gaye Shale in Double Trap Women.

Pistol: Hayley Chapman in 25m Pistol Women, Lalita Yauhleuskaya in 10m Air Women; Bruce Quick in 50m Pistol Men and 25m Rapid Fire Men. Smallbore Rifle: Dane Sampson in 3 Position and 50m Prone Men; Robyn Ridley in 3 Position Women.

Bigbore Rifle: In the Queens Prize Pairs final the Australian team of James Corbett and Geoff Grenfell finished fourth in an event that encountered some serious weather conditions.

The excitement of the medals won by Australian shooters at the Commonwealth Games and the media interest in our sport and our athletes will hopefully assist in the longevity of our sport.

SA athletes’ results at the 2014 ISSF World Championship in Granada Spain, our 2014 benchmark event for the ASC, were similarly very impressive.

Gold medal won by: • Warren Potent in 50m Rifle Prone Men. Silver medals won by: • Jack Wallace in Trap Men Junior; and Emma Cox in Double Trap Women.

The above results at the ISSF World Championship are most important in supporting/justifying the continuation of support for shooting from the ASC.

In the non-ISSF discipline of Fullbore Rifle at the 2014 USA Fullbore Nationals Championships, the Australian Palma team won with a score of 891.111 ahead of the USA Rifle Green team on 882.85.

Australia then continued to dominate in the individuals event with Ben Emms winning the USA Fullbore National Championships Gold medal and fellow team mate Tim Berry finishing in the Bronze medal position. The final teams’ match saw Australia once again win the Open team event with a score of 895.116 winning the Gold medal a clear six points ahead of the rest.

At the 2014 Bisley Queens Prize competition, Rob Sandlant was placed second and Jim Bailey won the 2014 Bisley St George’s Competition.

AUSTRALIAN SPORTS COMMISSION Throughout 2014, the ASC’s Australia’s Winning Edge program with its high performance game plan for moving Australian sport from world class to world best has been comprehensively implemented by the ASC and participating National Sporting Organisations (NSO).

Shooting Australia as one of the ‘Foundation’ NSOs, is 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 and that our 2014 international results have been impressive.

Shooting Australia is continuing to work with the ASC to demonstrate the required greater levels of accountability for performance results, improved governance structures and contemporary reporting and monitoring of performance.

I would like to thank the members of the SA Board, the CEO, Management Team and staff for all their hard work and support during the year. Also thank you to the Member Bodies for their support and input, and I look forward to your continued support and assistance in the forthcoming year.

CATH FETTELL

President

/ 13/14

In September, former member of the Board of SA, Russell Mark announced his retirement from competition. A shotgun champion and former world number one, Russell won Gold in the Double Trap event at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, a Silver medal at the 2000 Olympics, and Gold and Bronze medals at Commonwealth Games in 2006 and 2010. Congratulations to Russell on a wonderful shooting career.

Member Bodies are currently at different levels of progress in their programs. One aspect common to all the initiatives/programs is the excitement to move forward in our collective ability to ensure the long term success and viability of the sport of Shooting.

CONCLUSION I would like to express my sincere thanks to all the volunteers in our Member Bodies, as it is through their hard work and willingness to contribute their time, that we are able to develop our athletes and stage our competitions.

SHOOTING AUSTRALIA ANNUAL REPORT

Our paralympic athletes performed very well in the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) World Championships in Suhl, Germany earlier this year. Jason Maroney placed fourth in the R5 Air Rifle Prone Mixed event, Ashley Adams placed eighth in the R6 50m Rifle Prone Mixed event, and Libby Kosmala was seventh in the R2 10m Air Rifle Standing event.

AIMING4GOLD FUNDING INITIATIVE The Aiming4Gold Funding Initiative, now underway, has allowed Member Bodies to seek funding in a coordinated, and equitable way for programs that design and deliver outcomes that contribute to the achievement of targets as set out in the ASC’s Australia’s Winning Edge.

PRESIDENT’S REPORT /

Bronze medal won by: • Catherine Skinner in Trap Women.

SHOOTING AUSTRALIA BOARD AND MANAGEMENT In the past year we have welcomed Kelvyn Prescott as a new Director on the Board of SA. SA has continued to embed the new financial accounting/management system this year. While the funding from the ASC has remained at the 2013 level, responsible financial management throughout 2014 has allowed Shooting Australia to implement planned activities in 2014.

CEO’S REPOR

‘‘

WE HAVE BEGUN A JOURNEY, BUT ONE THAT WE NEEDED TO UNDERTAKE TO REPOSITION THIS SPORT AND TO ENSURE ITS LONG TERM VIABILITY. I LOOK FORWARD TO THE FUTURE, MORE NOW THAN EVER.

W

hat an exciting time for our sport! Last year I started by commenting on how the landscape of sport in this country has shifted and that we must be courageous, effective and efficient.

More importantly, I identified the opportunity that the shift created for our sport and that we must take this opportunity.

On reflection of the last 12 months, I think it is clear that we are working to seize this opportunity and that our sport has begun to make significant systemic, cultural and generational change to realise our true potential.

We have seen some outstanding sporting performances this year which allowed us to exceed our targets at both the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and the World Championships in Spain. Never before has our sport won six individual Gold Medals at one Commonwealth Games and we left the World Championships with four medals, two of these coming in events to be staged at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. We won a significant number of International Medals this year, which will be covered in other areas of this report, but I wanted to single out and congratulate Warren Potent for being crowned World Champion and being ranked number one in the World.

Shooting Australia exists to win medals at events that matter and create sustained international success, but many of our outstanding achievements that act as enablers for sporting success have occurred in the background.

I encourage you to read the Governance Report that highlights these efforts, for although good governance does not guarantee success, without it, there is no chance of success.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Australian Sports Commission and the Australian Institute of Sport, for without their collaboration, partnership and drive we would not be in the position we are. Similarly, we are very lucky to work extremely closely with the Australian Commonwealth Games Association, the Australian Paralympic Committee and the Australian Olympic Committee, to ensure that we give Australians the best chance of realising their sporting dreams. On behalf of Shooting Australia, I would sincerely like to thank all of these partners for their ongoing contribution and dedication to our sport.

To the Board of Shooting Australia, I would like to thank them each personally for their dedication, passion and foresight to create a better future for the sport of Shooting. Likewise to the Staff of Shooting Australia, their unwavering drive to be a part of something special is inspiring and motivating.

I would also like to acknowledge the Presidents, Boards and Executives of our Member Bodies. I have had the privilege of working with them and seeing the investment of time, energy and self that they put into their individual disciplines. These sacrifices are significant and they do so to make our sport better.

We have begun a journey, but one that we needed to undertake to re-position this sport and to ensure its long term viability. I look forward to the future, more now than ever, as I see the successful future of this sport through a clearer lens filled with great people, with bold intentions and the courage to pursue it.

F

or a sport that prides itself and derives much pleasure from international success, it does not make sense, some say it would be irresponsible, to deny a shooter with real potential, the help they need to ensure such international success. The establishment of Aiming4Gold (A4G) in 2013 through Australia’s Winning Edge (AWE) strategy started the long process in providing the necessary support to talented shooters to win shooting events that matter to Australia.

Over the past 12 months, our results at our nominated benchmark events at the Commonwealth Games (6 Gold & 2 Bronze medals), ISSF World Championships (1 Gold, 2 Silver & 1 Bronze medals, 2 Rio quotas) and IPC World Championships (3 finalists, 2 Rio quotas) indicate the program is making a difference to our athletes, both on, and to some extent, off the range.

These outstanding results, mentioned in detail following my report, exceeded our AWE performance targets and reflect the changes made, as the high performance program continues to evolve. It should be noted that Shooting was one of only a handful of sports to exceed its agreed AWE targets in 2013/2014.

I acknowledge our program partners whose financial and/or in-kind support has assisted A4G achieve its performance goals – the Australian Sports Commission, Australian Institute of Sport, Australian Olympic Committee, Australian Paralympic Committee, Australian Commonwealth Games Association and the National Institute Network.

‘‘

HIGH PERFORMANCE MANAGER’S REPOR

‘‘

EVERY MOMENT IS AN OPPORTUNITY THAT WE MUST USE. IF WE WANT TO BE THE BEST, THEN WE STRIVE TO BE THE BEST. RATHER THAN BEING SELECTIVE WITH OUR OPPORTUNITIES, WE PLAN TO EXPLOIT THEM! IF WE WORK HARDER AND SMARTER THAN OUR COMPETITORS, I AM CONFIDENT IT WILL PAY OFF. IN OTHER WORDS, NO EXCUSES, NO REGRETS.

Whilst I publicly acknowledge and applaud the great achievements of our athletes in the past 12 months, we cannot rest there. With international standards continuing to rise, our competitors are investing more in international success as we progress towards Rio 2016. To maintain any competitive edge, our aim is to continue to do the ‘basics’ well and be smarter than our competitors in everything we do.

Our ‘basics’ can be described as a set of critical success factors that work collaboratively to achieve our desired performance. These factors are clustered around the following themes:

1. The athlete whose needs are the focus of our approach; 2. Our values which guide our decision making processes; 3. Our coaches who are the architects of their program; 4. Our leadership displayed through our athletes, coaches, support staff and administration; 5. The athlete’s quality and consistency of the athlete’s daily training environment; 6. The domestic & international competition exposure for our athletes; 7. Our research & innovation to enhance performance; 8. Our partnerships with our Member Bodies; and 9. Continuous performance review to ensure we enhance our strengths and learn from our mistakes.

Services, resources and support are key factors in delivering A4G goals. A key AWE strategy is to identify and prioritise athletes who will have the greatest impact on performance at our benchmark events over those who may not peak until the next Olympiad. Unfortunately, this meant some A4G athletes did not receive the necessary support and/or communication that were initially identified on their induction due to the numbers in the program and financial and human resource limitations.

To those athletes for whom the A4G did not meet your expectations, I apologise. However, to be competitive and win medals on the world stage, which is the goal of AWE, we must maintain a performance focus (and its associated accountability) with targeted athletes, or we run the risk of broadening our approach and investing simply in international participation; personal accountability for performance is mandatory throughout the program albeit athlete, coach or administrator.

Unique characteristics set successful elite shooters apart: they have talent, but that alone does not guarantee success; they commit to a training environment; they work systematically to a plan; they are directed by a set of goals in all aspects of their life; they persevere when all seems lost; they balance their Shooting with their career and personal life; they dare to be different, innovate and be creative; they are loyal - to themselves, their families their team members, their coach, their club, their member body. It is the culmination of all of these attributes and what A4G is promoting that converts performance into true high performance.

Bruce Lee once said: To spend time is to pass it in a specified manner.

To waste time is to expend it thoughtlessly or carelessly.

We all have time to either spend or waste; it is OUR decision what to do with it.

Every moment is an opportunity that we must use. If we want to be the best, then we strive to be the best. Rather than being selective with our opportunities, we plan to exploit them! If we work harder and smarter than our competitors, I am confident it will pay off. In other words, no excuses, no regrets.

/ 13/14

But once it has passed, it is gone.

SHOOTING AUSTRALIA ANNUAL REPORT

The time clock for Rio, Gold Coast and Tokyo is ticking.

HIGH PERFORMANCE MANAGER’S REPORT /

From a program perspective, achievements for the past 12 months over the four A4G programs include: • Establishing an application process where 99 applications were received and ultimately 62 admitted into the program; • Establishing and trialing of an Athlete Management System in conjunction with the Australian Institute of Sport; • The identification of a national network of service providers through the National Institute Network; • Appointing a Sport Medicine Coordinator; • Appointing a Psychology Coordinator; • Introducing Athlete Performance Plans; • Establishing performance measures for the High Performance Committee; • Coordinating A4G performance services to ensure athletes are given every opportunity to achieve goals both in and out of Shooting; • Implementing the findings from a “Performance Qualification Score” (PQS) Review including the introduction of a World Benchmark Score; • Reviewing the A4G program through an athlete survey and using the results to improve the program going forward; • Recognising the critical importance of a systematic athlete pathway by creating a High Performance Pathway Coordinator role; • Developing guidelines that describe the basis on the nomination of shooters for the Winning Edge Athlete Categories; • Revising the selection criteria for the 2014 World Championships and 2014 World University Championship; • Reverting the Australian ranking formula to the highest average of qualification scores over five shoots in 12 months; • Providing a summary of High Performance Committee meetings on the Shooting Australia website.

COACHES REPORTS /

PISTOL REPORT

Prior to finalising the squad, I observed all shooters in the areas of talent, commitment and character. On the basis of this assessment, and the training and competition performances demonstrated, the A4G pistol squad for 2013/14 consisted of Lalita Yauhleuskaya, Siarhei Yauhleuski, Emily Esposito, Hayley Chapman, Blake and Nathan Blackburn, Ryana Cook, Thomas Ashmore, Bailey Groves, Elise Downing

The season got off to a great start with Lalita Yauhleuskaya winning two Gold medals and Emily Esposito securing a Silver and Bronze at the Meyton Cup in Austria. Blake Blackburn also showed promise, placing 4th in air pistol at the same event. At the World Cup level, Emily Esposito’s 12th place at Fort Benning was another highlight in her development.

Our first benchmark event, the Glasgow Commonwealth Games saw the pistol team achieve 4 medals (2 Gold, 2 Bronze).

Daniel Repacholi showed true grit in winning Gold in the 10m air pistol whilst David Chapman’s Gold in the rapid fire showed the importance of performing in a final. Both Daniel and Lalita Yauhleuskaya won Bronze medals in the 50m pistol and 25m pistol respectively. It is pleasing to note that of the 10 pistol events available, Australian athletes competed

in 8 finals. On the basis of competition performance and the development phase of our youth shooters, only one athlete, Lalita Yauhleuskaya, was selected to represent Australia at our next benchmark event, the ISSF World Championship in Granada, Spain. She placed 18th (from 144 shooters) in the sport pistol event (381), only one agonising point from the final, a dramatic improvement from previous campaigns.

Rather than compete at the World Championships, our youth shooters focused on two events this year - the ISSF Junior Cup and the Youth Olympic Games.

Three athletes attended the Youth World Cup: Chris Summerell, Bailey Groves and Ryana Cook.

Each junior athlete gained tremendous experience competing against their peers in an international competitive environment.

The next test for two of

our young shooters was the Youth Olympic Games.

Chris Summerell placed 10th in the 10m air pistol with a score of 561 points whilst Elise Downing scored 359 points in the 10m air pistol to place 16th. Chris’ performance was the best place achieved by an Australian pistol athlete at the Youth Olympic Games.

/ 13/14

In 2013/14, Shooting Australia’s Aiming4Gold (A4G) pistol program: • Prepared international and development shooters to compete at our benchmark competitions; • Prepared junior athletes for the Youth Olympic Games and the ISSF Junior Cup; • Communicated with all parties to formulate a workable system for the development of pistol athletes; • Facilitated Pistol Australia management and State management to working collaboratively; and • Co-operated with tertiary institutions in researching training tools and developing training methodology.

and Chris Summerell.

Once selected, all shooters were involved in the preparation of their athlete performance plans that identified amongst other things the levels of the technical and physical performances the athletes needed to achieve by the end of the program. It is pleasing to advise most levels were achieved.

SHOOTING AUSTRALIA ANNUAL REPORT

I

t has been a consolidating year for the pistol program with a primary focus on our next generation of athletes.

These results would not have been possible without the continued assistance and support of Pistol Australia’s President Ray Andrews and their Management Group, the input from State Associations and the personal coaches of the A4G Squad members (Ben Sandstrom and John Baird).

Of course, there is still a long way to go, but I am confident we are heading in the right direction.

WARREN POTENT SMILES AFTER WINNING THE ISSF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE IN GRANADA, THIS YEAR.

T

he second year of any Olympiad is one of consolidation where prospective and existing athletes continue to experience international competition to develop strengths, work on weaknesses and exploit opportunities. The results achieved in 2014 showed our approach is contributing to Australia’s Winning Edge strategy.

We had three main goals for 2014: • Continue exposing our 2016 and 2020 young athletes to international competitions with world class athletes of the same age • Formalise a centralised daily training environment in Adelaide where athletes can train under the guidance and direction of the National Coach • Be competitive for the Glasgow Commonwealth Games and ISSF

World Championship in Granada.

From a performance perspective, juniors Jack Rossiter and Emma Adams began the 2014 international season on a very high note winning three out of a possible four Gold medals in the matches they competed in at the highly competitive international Plzen Grand Prix. Rossiter’s excellent form at last year’s Oceania Championship in Sydney clearly paved the way for a successful trend in his shooting career in 2014.

Not to be outdone, junior Frederyk Woodhouse won the Bronze medal in the junior men’s 50m rifle prone event at the debut ISSF Junior Cup in Suhl, Germany, the biggest junior competition in the world.

After making it to all the three finals in as many World Cups attended this year, Warren Potent returned to the World Cup

podium by winning a Silver medal in the 50m men’s prone in Slovenia. His excellent form continued at the Commonwealth Games where he won the Gold medal, and set a new Commonwealth Games Record.

Warren maintained his strong form, going on to win the World Championship title, his career’s first, in Granada.

He also secured Australia’s first quota place for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.

Warren’s outstanding performances this season were duly recognised as he reclaimed the top spot in the ISSF ranking in 50m rifle prone men.

Our daily training environment was further enhanced with Jen Hens and Fred Woodhouse joining Dane Sampson in relocating to Adelaide.

Shooting Australia was able to secure suitable accommodation and

Of course the success of this year would not have occurred without the support of Target Rifle South Australia, Queensland Target Sports and New South Wales Small Bore and Air Rifle Association, which I publicly acknowledge and thank. Also a special thanks to Carrie Quigley for her tireless work with our up-and-coming junior athletes.

Whilst the immediate future looks bright, a constant challenge is our ability to increase our depth with a focus on finding and developing younger athletes who could be part of a successful team in the future. We must continually work together to find the next generation of athletes, especially in the female events.

Whilst the high performance program is unable to cater for their introduction and initial development in rifle shooting, we will continue to work with our program partners to formulate strategies to address this.

Perth pre-Commonwealth Games due to its similar weather and layout to Glasgow.

Our Glasgow campaign got off to a great start with Laura Coles shooting brilliantly to win the women’s skeet event.

The highlight of this win was not only proudly singing the Australian National Anthem for the first time but also seeing Laura being carried into the Games dining hall on the shoulders of senior statesmen Michael Diamond and Adam Vella proclaiming that a Gold medallist had entered the Hall! This act laid the foundation for the team success that was to follow.

Adam Vella also took advantage of the new rules by dominating the final to win a Gold medal in the men’s trap whilst Laetisha Scanlan made it Gold number three by winning the women’s trap event.

All up, Australia topped the shotgun discipline medal tally, ahead of India and England. It was pleasing to note of the 12 athletes selected to represent Australia at the Games, 10 made it through to their event finals.

Confidence was high as

the squad focused on our next AWE benchmark event, the ISSF World Championship in Granada. A new selection process was introduced to give non-squadded athletes the same opportunity as squadded athletes. Athletes gained automatic selection if they could win a selection trial in a ‘world benchmark’ score (based on the average score required to make a final at a world level).

This selection method highlighted the importance of performing when it matters, rather than a drawn-out selection process.

With the close proximity of the Commonwealth Games and the difficulty for athletes to take more time away from work etc., final preparation was based within the athlete’s daily training environment. As the pinnacle event for the ISSF (outside the Olympics), this is by far the biggest event in terms of entries and depth of field. This year’s entries produced record numbers and the record scores made it the most competitive event in the sports history.

/ 13/14

Using the momentum from these two world cups, final preparation was made for our two AWE benchmark events – the Commonwealth Games and ISSF World Championship. The squad held a successful camp in

CATHERINE SKINNER WON THE BRONZE MEDAL IN WOMEN’S TRAP AT THE 2014 ISSF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP IN GRANADA.

Catherine Skinner shot brilliantly to win a Bronze medal in the women’s trap event, our first podium finish at a world championship since 2007.

Her placing also secured a quota place for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.

Our junior team also performed incredibly at these Championships with Jack Wallace displaying experience well above his age by winning a Silver medal whilst Penny Smith was unlucky not to final, placing 7th. In the nonOlympic women’s double trap event, Emma Cox shot with tenacity to win a Silver medal, the shotgun team’s third.

SHOOTING AUSTRALIA ANNUAL REPORT

The season got off to a great start in the first ISSF World Cup in Tucson, Arizona. Laetisha Scanlan showed all class winning the Gold medal in the women’s trap whilst Catherine Skinner fought hard to secure the Bronze. Michael Diamond continued to show why he is a force to be reckoned with, by returning to the podium with a Silver medal in the men’s trap.

Paul Adams continued his promising form from last year by placing 4th in the men’s skeet event.

In Munich, where the competition and scores were expected to be (and were) high, Scanlan continued her good form placing 5th whilst Diamond was unlucky to miss the final, placing 7th.

F

rom a performance perspective, 2014 was a very successful year for our shotgun team.

Internationally, Australian shotgun shooters won a total of 12 medals. The promising aspect about this total was not only the amount but that 10 of these medals were won by younger athletes who were original members of our Focus 2016 squad back in 2012/13.

COACHES REPORTS /

SHOTGUN REPORT

It would be remiss not to highlight the performances of our junior athletes, which give great hope for the future. In Qatar, Penny Smith won Gold in the junior women’s trap whilst James Grice won Gold and Jack Wallace placed 6th in the junior men’s trap.

Penny was unlucky not to medal at the ISSF Junior World Cup, placing 4th in the junior women’s trap with Jack again placing 6th in the junior men’s trap.

Thanks to all athletes in the squad, to the crew at Shooting Australia and support from the Australian Clay Target Association. I look forward to the journey towards Rio 2016.

014 was our most successful World Cup season with 3 Gold, 3 Silver and 4 Bronze medals, including Jason Maroney setting the New World Record in air rifle standing. The future towards Rio is looking bright.

SA AIMING4GOLD SQUAD After receiving applications from 13 athletes, nine athletes were accepted into Shooting Australia’s Aiming4Gold (A4G) Parashooting Squad, and the Squad was announced in October 2013. The squad was made up of: Ashley Adams, Anton Zappelli, Bradley Mark, Christopher Pitt, Darren Nicholson, Elizabeth Kosmala, Jason Maroney, Luke Cain and Natalie Smith.

All athletes in Shooting Australia’s A4G Squad received an individualised Athlete Performance Plan and competition calendar provided by the National High Performance Coach. A4G Squad members attended training camps and domestic competitions, and selected team members competed at the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) World Cups in Great Britain, Poland, Germany, USA and the IPC World Championships

in Germany, which was the benchmark event for 2014.

In 2013, our athletes started to make changes to their equipment (guns, jackets, attachments, sights and ammunition) and they now have access to the most advanced equipment available.

Some of the athletes faced difficulties as they transitioned into their new equipment, when subsequent positionchanges affected the consistency in their performances.

Maroney, Kosmala and Zappelli) attended the first IPC World Cup in Stoke Mandeville, Great Britain.

Jason Maroney started the season with a Gold in air rifle standing and made the final in air rifle prone, equalling the Australian Record. Bradley Mark also made a final in air rifle standing, finishing fourth, whilst Zappelli missed the final by only 0.5 in his first overseas trip.

IPC WORLD CUP, GERMANY A team of six (Adams, Cain, Kosmala, Mark, Maroney and Pitt) competed in Germany, the biggest competition after the London Paralympic

Games with more than 40 countries in attendance.

Excellent performances were achieved by our athletes winning 1 Gold and 2 Silver medals.

Luke Cain won the Gold medal in air rifle standing, Maroney finished 4th and Mark 7th in same event.

In air rifle prone, Jason Maroney become the first athlete to achieve a score of more than 640, and set a new Australian record on a score of 641.6, finishing 4th after the final.

Unfortunately, the withdrawal of Natalie Smith due to medical reasons did have an impact on these results as she made three finals at last year’s benchmark event and was on-track to do the same at this Championship.

The new athletes in our team (Pitt and Zappelli) performed very well in their first World Championship, being unlucky to miss the final in their events. They have a promising future and are expected to win additional Quotas for Rio 2016 at the 2015 IPC World Cups.

However, our performance in our best event (R4Air Rifle Standing) was disappointing where we expected both Maroney and Mark to final, with one of them to medal (as achieved in two IPC World Cups this year).

It should also be noted (although not a factor we wish to use as an excuse) our athletes were forced out of their official

accommodation on the eve of competition due to inappropriate and inaccessible facilities, relocating to three separate locations, causing logistical issues throughout the competition. It is hard to determine how much this affected our performances but it was an unnecessary distraction leading into and during competition.

CONCLUSION Next year is a very important year with a number of big competitions including three IPC World Cups with Quotas on offer for Rio 2016, one of them in Sydney (September 2015), which will be our benchmark event for 2015. Our goal for the Sydney World Cup will be to win 4-5 Quotas for Rio.

IPC WORLD CUP, POLAND Our team of six moved from Germany to Poland where we competed in the IPC World Cup (Air Guns only). Bradley Mark won the Silver medal in air rifle standing and a Bronze medal in air rifle prone.

Ashley Adams shot the top score in air rifle standing but finished 6th after the final and Libby Kosmala finished 4th after the final in air rifle standing.

hooting Australia has had a very successful year, with us having hosted four Australia Cups, an Australian International Grand Prix, an Australia Cup Final & Grand Prix and Youth National Championship.

The competitions were run very smoothly and successfully and it would not have been possible without the help of the following clubs/associations and all the volunteers that gave willingly of their time: Sydney International Shooting Centre, Target Rifle South Australia, Shepparton Pistol Club, International Gun Club, Brisbane Gun Club, Queensland Target Sports in association with Pistol Shooting Queensland (principally Brisbane International Pistol Club), Metropolitan Pistol Club, Western Australia Gun Club and Sturt Pistol Club.

The office has seen some major activity this year, largely attributable to the teams we sent away to 18 international competitions including seven World Cups, a World Cup Final, two World Championships, four International Grand Prix, a World University Championship, ISSF Junior Cup, Air Gun tour and the Commonwealth Games.

Kerry Copper, Shooting Australia’s sports administrator was in charge of coordinating these events for our travelling teams. There were many hours of work spent liaising with key contacts to ensure the athletes and coaches enjoyed a smooth journey.

Kerry has done a good job, with positive feedback received from athletes. I would like to thank Kerry for all her hard work this year.

Shooting Australia launched its debut Awards of Excellence Night, which is our pinnacle event to recognise and reward outstanding achievements by athletes, officials and members of the Shooting Sports. Held at the Mercure Liverpool in Sydney in March, it was extremely successful with great feedback received. Planning has already begun for the next Awards Night in 2015 to be bigger and better.

From a business processing point of view, our systems partner, WebSystems has provided Shooting Australia with key business process management systems that have made our operations more efficient and user-friendly. More recently, we have been working together to develop a volunteer management system, which should be operational early in 2015. This will be another step forward to manage our volunteers better, and allow for better opportunities for volunteers to manage their own information effectively.

I WOULD LIKE TO ESPECIALLY THANK ALL OUR VOLUNTEERS, FOR WITHOUT YOU, IT WOULD BE HARD FOR OUR ATHLETES TO EXCEL AT THEIR CHOSEN SPORT.

It has been very rewarding to witness the wonderful year our athletes have had. This has been one of the most successful years I have seen in my time at Shooting Australia. It shows that all the hard work and procedures that were put in place five to ten years ago have made it to fruition.

I would like to congratulate all our athletes for a fantastic year. I would like to especially thank all our volunteers, for without you, it would be hard for our athletes to excel at their chosen sport.

I

t is with pleasure that I report our success over the last year, against my key Strategic Priority area, ‘To promote a Positive Public Image’ by ‘Maximising Media Opportunities’ and by ‘The Positioning & Branding of Shooting Australia’.

Our athletes have performed brilliantly at notable competitions around the world, more importantly at our major benchmark events.

Congratulations to each of these stars, who have made my role at Shooting Australia meaningful, for without their stories, there is not much to say.

In the lead up to the Glasgow Commonwealth Games, Shooting Australia strategised to announce the team to the media at the Wingfield Rifle Range in Adelaide on 1st May 2014. Seven athletes were invited across all four disciplines, and members of the media were invited to attend. We had three TV Channels that came and covered the event for that evening’s news bulletin. The event went to plan, with South Australian media receiving it well, and once again, feedback received was very encouraging.

I have had the pleasure of covering competitions that have led to medals on the podium, several records broken, and many near misses. Our domestic Australia Cups were run successfully, with spectators contributing to our social media coverage of the events. For this, I am grateful and extend my thanks for the help.

In the coming year, Shooting Australia will be looking to reposition its digital footprint, starting with a new website. Our focus will also be on securing sponsorship opportunities via online channels.

We are also working to create consistent and updated signage for our Australia Cup venues around the country.

I take this opportunity to thank the people who have assisted me in my role, especially the media units at the Australian Sports Commission, Australian Institute of Sport, Australian Commonwealth Games Association, Australian Olympic Committee, International Olympic Committee, Australian Paralympic Committee, International Paralympic Committee and the International Shooting Sport Federation.

I wish our athletes all the best in the year ahead, and look forward to finding newer opportunities to engage with the media to further the profile of our Olympic and Commonwealth Sport.

/ 13/14

A major outcome for the reporting period has been the rolling out of our new brand ‘Shooting Australia’.

The journey from concept to execution of the brand mark took six months and a detailed Brand Guidelines document can be found on our website.

We launched brand Shooting Australia with pride at our debut night of nights – the Awards of Excellence in Sydney, on 1st March 2014. The new brand name has helped align Shooting with other main stream sports through its contemporary styling, and feedback received has been very positive.

My work during the year has included the production of timely Media Releases, Media Alerts, Articles, an Annual Report and the Management of our Website and Social Media Channels. I have also assisted Member bodies in their Media activities from time to time.

SHOOTING AUSTRALIA ANNUAL REPORT

From a publicity perspective, it has been a stimulating challenge to proposition media partners to pick up on a story pitch. By and large, we have had a break-through year with over 400 articles produced in print, and subsequent digital editions, in excess of 30 television productions, approximately the same number of radio interviews and several thousand social media interactions. Our relationships with key people in the media have grown stronger and we continue to collaborate with them as opportunities present themselves.

This document elaborates on the story behind the logo and offers guidance around its usage. The office has implemented a complete suite of new collateral, across print and digital applications.

COMMITTEE REPORT

HIGH PERFORMANCE COMMITTEE REPORT The High Performance Committee met four times to oversee the Aiming4Gold (A4G) High Performance Program.

To ensure that all aspects of the high performance system were visited, high performance agendas followed themes relating to strategy, policy, program, athlete and system. The committee also discussed other high performance models from other sports and countries to see what lessons can be learnt. Success does leave clues!

A number of key outcomes were achieved by this Committee this year which include the: • Ratification of selection policies for the World University Games, World Championships, Rio Olympic and Paralympic Games, Oceania Championships and World Cups; • Creation of a World Benchmark Score to replace the Performance Qualification Score; • Review of existing Shooting Australia (SA) policies including Podium Incentive and Team Travel; • Ratification of the A4G squads including our first athlete from the full bore discipline; • Monitoring of performance of our A4G athletes; • Creation of shooting specific nomination criteria so our athletes can be nominated to the national Australia’s Winning Edge categories; • Simplification of the Australian ranking system; • Finalisation of strategies to deal with concerns raised through the A4G Athlete Evaluation Survey; • Finalisation of the 2015 Calendar;

• Creation of HPC performance indicators; and • Investigation of an athlete pathway that aligns to the Foundations, Talent, Elite & Mastery model (AIS framework) that is consistent across all disciplines.

The High Performance Committee has been an effective structure to engage all key stakeholders in relation to all matters pertaining to Shooting’s high performance system.

I publicly thank the Committee for their input, debate, guidance and support in the implementation of the Aiming4Gold high performance system.

The Committee met a few times and discussions were based around many things, including selection policies, PQS system and scores, High Performance Program, ranking system and new team uniforms.

We have also been able to have a representative present at all High Performance Committee meetings over the past 12 months, allowing us to make sure an athlete’s point of view is heard on the many High Performance issues and decisions that have been made.

As Chairperson of the committee, I was also present at all Shooting Australia board meetings until November 2013.

After that time, constitutional changes were made so that the Chairperson was no longer a compulsory member of the board, at the suggestion of the Australian Sports Commission, to prevent any conflict in the decision making process. I would like to thank the other members of Shooting Australia’s board, for making me feel welcome during my time on the board.

In the last few months, improvements were made to the Athlete’s Committee By-Laws and Charter, better clarifying the role of the Commitee.

TECHNICAL COMMITTEE REPORT The Technical Committee has met twice in the past 12 months, with further communications by email, telephone and face-to-face meetings where possible.

The new ISSF rules in the last two years have been a challenge to all disciplines. We hope that for awhile we can work with the rules we have in place. The format for the Finals has changed with considerable regularity causing some confusion for all. Getting the computer chips/ downloads for these changes has been a big problem for shotgun, so hopefully they can work with the last ones that were sent six months late.

All the New Rules and their amendments have been adopted by the ISSF disciplines.

ISSF WORLD CUPS 2015

ISSF Jury applications for World Cups 2015 to be appointed by the ISSF have been selected and will be forwarded to the ISSF. Successful appointees (if any) should be notified by late 2014.

ISSF JUDGES & INTERNATIONAL REFEREES COURSES

Successful Courses were presented in Sydney in October last year. The course presenters were: Elaine Forward (Shotgun), Paul Golden (Rifle) and Spencer Tweedie (Pistol). We also intend to run further courses in October this year.

ISSF LICENCE RENEWALS

Across the ISSF disciplines, renewal notices and application forms have been sent out and returned to SA for forwarding to ISSF to complete the renewal.

COMPETITIONS

Officials and all other volunteers have had another busy year with SA sponsored competitions conducted in different states.

It is a very busy calendar for all disciplines.

THANKS TO OUR VOLUNTEERS

The Technical Committee acknowledges and thanks our volunteers for your time and help at the many competitions conducted for SA during the past year and looks forward to your continued support in the future. We could not run these events without you.

These workshops were well attended in five states, and the feedback from participants was positive, with coaches enjoying an opportunity to learn from each other’s experiences, and gain a different perspective on the Shooting Sports.

Competition Coach Course There have been two multidiscipline Competition Coach Courses run since the completion of the Presenter Information Workshops.

While there have been some challenges in running courses together in this way – finding suitable dates in very busy calendars, and developing new ways of working together; this approach to coach education is proving to be a positive experience.

The Competition Coach Course has been reaccredited with the Australian Sports Commission for a further four years.

COACH OF THE YEAR AWARDS

The Coaching Committee was fortunate to have the opportunity to acknowledge the dedicated contributions of our volunteer coaches at Shooting Australia’s 2014 Awards of Excellence night. This award will continue to recognise outstanding contributions in developing athletes from our volunteer coaches, and nominations for 2015 are now open. This is a fantastic opportunity for everyone to nominate the volunteer coach they believe should be recognised at Shooting Australia’s pinnacle event for awards.

/ 13/14

Tricia Van Nus

Last year, the Coaches Committee decided that it would be both a good use of resources and a good networking opportunity to offer the Competition Coach Courses as a multi-discipline course in each state. As this was a new initiative, we began the process by inviting current Coach Educators to a series of Information Workshops in each state, to both familiarise everyone with the new content of the course, as well as to develop a working group to organise the course in each state.

I would like to thank the Coach Educators for their open mindedness and willingness to try something new and different.

Shooting sports have much in common, and we certainly gain more from working together.

Independent Audit Report to the members of Australian International Shooting Ltd

Report on the Financial Report We have audited the accompanying financial report, being a special purpose financial report of Australian International Shooting Ltd, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2014, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.

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.

Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. 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.

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

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2014 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Depreciation The depreciable amount of all property, plant and equipment, except for freehold land is depreciated on a reducing balance method from the date that management determine that the asset is available for use. (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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

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.

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 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.

/ 13/14

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.

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.

SHOOTING AUSTRALIA ANNUAL REPORT

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 REPORT /

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2014

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.

FINANCIAL REPOR

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2014 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) The Companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s financial liabilities include, trade and other payables, which are measured at amortised cost.

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.

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 assetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Employee benefits are presented as current liabilities in the statement of financial position if the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date regardless of the classification of the liability for measurement purposes under AASB 119.

Termination benefits Termination benefits are those benefits paid to an employee as a result of either the entity’s decision to terminate an employee’s employment before the normal retirement date or an employee’s decision to accept an offer of benefits in exchange for the termination of employment.

/ 13/14

Employee benefits expected to be settled more than twelve months after the end of the reporting period 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 satisfy vesting requirements.

Cashflows are discounted using market yields on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cashflows. Changes in the measurement of the liability are recognised in profit or loss.

Defined contribution schemes Obligations for contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods in which services are provided by employees.

SHOOTING AUSTRALIA ANNUAL REPORT

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.

FINANCIAL REPORT /

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2014

Termination benefits are recorded as a provision at the earlier of the following dates: • When the entity can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits; and • When the entity recognises costs for a restructuring that is within the scope of AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and involves the payment of termination benefits. (k) 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.

FINANCIAL REPOR

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2014 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (i) Income Tax No provison 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. (l) Adoption of new and revised accounting standards During the current year, the Company adopted all of the new and revised Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations applicable to its operations which became mandatory.

The adoption of these Standards has impacted the recognition, measurement and disclosure of certain transactions. The following is an explanation of the impact the adoption of these Standards and Interpretations has had on the financial statements of Australian International Shooting Ltd.

MARSH INSURANCE REPOR

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.

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.

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.

Personal information is essentially information about individuals where the individual can be identified. It may include information such as your name, contact details, age, insurance history or financial details. Sensitive Information is a particular kind of personal information and includes information about an individual’s health; racial or ethnic origins; membership of political, professional or trade

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). If it is sensitive information we rely on you to have obtained their consent to these matters. If you have not done these things, you must tell us before you provide the relevant information.

/ 13/14

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.

Marsh and your insurers disclose personal information to third parties both in Australia and overseas, where it is believed necessary for us to provide our services to the professional standard you expect. These parties may include (but are not limited to) insurers, reinsurers and other intermediaries.

All parties may also disclose this information, as needed, to employers, health workers, investigators, lawyers, loss adjusters and to government departments if required by law to do so.

SHOOTING AUSTRALIA ANNUAL REPORT

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.

associations; political opinions or philosophical or religious beliefs; criminal record; or sexual preferences.

MARSH INSURANCE REPORT /

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.

Where required you can access the personal information you provided to Marsh, and we can also facilitate you accessing the information supplied to your insurers through us by contacting: The Privacy Officer
