ILLAWARRA ACADEMY OF SPORT ANNUAL REPORT
The principal supporter of the Regional Academies of Sport state-wide is the NSW Government through the Office of Sport. In 2022, the NSW State budget provided over $3 million to the eleven Academies. This level of funding maintains the funding level provided over the past four years but includes as a permanent payment additional funding which in recent years had been supplementary only. The removal of the temporary nature of the supplementary funding is appreciated by the Academies. The Academies will be advocating for additional funding going forward to better position our nation in staging the 2032 Brisbane Olympics. We look forward to again working with our local State members to secure additional resourcing going

She also coordinates the Academy events and liaises with Council administrations in the arrangement of the various Mayoral Receptions which enable the presentation of our athletes to the wider community in which they live.
The past year has been a year of considerable achievement for the Illawarra Academy of Sport and its membership, particularly for our 305 scholarship holders. It was a year of cautious recovery from the restrictions of COVID-19, enabling a higher degree of interaction between athletes, coaches and Academy staff in the educational, training and strength and conditioning spheres. Nowhere was this ‘freeing up’ more evident than in the staging of this year’s Your Local Club Academy Games held in Wagga Wagga where, once again, our athletes performed and behaved with great credit.
tremendous level of participation and performance by eleven of the Academy’s athletes at last year’s Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games, the Academy was well represented at the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games by six graduates bringing home eight gold medals, two silver and one bronze. Emma McKeon led the way with a record breaking six gold, one silver and one bronze; Jasmine Greenwood took gold in the 200IM SM10; and Flynn Ogilvie and Blake Govers featured heavily in the Kookaburra’s gold medal campaign. Many other of our athletes performed exceptionally well at regional state and National levels throughout the year.

The Academy also has a range of corporate sponsors who are committed to the Region’s youth including BluescopeWIN Community Partners, Illawarra Credit Union, Multi Civil and Rail, QUBE Ports, Aceit, Soto Engineering, MCT Solutions, BaiMed, DRB Group and Storage King North Wollongong. These are loyal and committed enterprises who have maintained their support notwithstanding COVID.
this year was the hosting of a well-attended alumni function to acknowledge athletes, sponsors, coaches, Academy members and staff who have walked our corridors over the past 36 years. We hope that event will be a precursor of more alumni functions in future.
Thanks also to O’Donnell Hennessy Taylor for their auditing services and to the DRB Group for their assistance in securing bookkeeping services.
I also wish to acknowledge the service of Brian Baird who served the Academy as a Board member and public officer for a decade prior to 2017. Sadly, Brian passed away during the past year. He was a charming man with a distinguished career in the legal profession, rugby union and triathlon circles. All at the Academy extend their condolence to Brian’s family and closest associates.
see an increase in opportunity for the Academy and its athletes. Stronger links to NSW Institute of Sport, greater links with the Indigenous community, enhanced coach support through the Regional Academies and even greater extension of the role that the Office of Sport plays in the development of the IAS are but some of the areas that we look forward to. Anticipating an even stronger link to the Illawarra business and sporting communities into the future, we are in the privileged position to be a part of the Academy and the athlete’s continual development.
Amidst all of this the coaches, managers and support staff of the IAS provided as capable delivery as possible throughout the year. It is that pursuit to provide the best programs possible with the best level of support, that allowed each of us to feel great pride in the organisation. Its all about the athletes.

The Presentation Evening of 2021 was delivered live and online with over 4000 hits to view the session. Schools did not allow visits or even external bus trips. Sports were playing catch-up with competition dates. The new year provided interruptions to training and playing due to weather conditions.
It was only in late October 2021 that we were able to host training sessions, be together as a staff group and provide face-to-face sessions with the athletes. Selections were undertaken primarily on paper with limited capacity to have trials.
The honouring of the immediate past President, Mr John Wells with a life membership of the IAS is appropriate and justified. His guidance and support to me as a CEO has been immeasurable. Equally, the introduction of Paul Knight as the new President heralds some exciting times for the

The premier Academy event once again lived up to the hype with nearly 200 athletes and staff heading to Wagga Wagga for the first time. On and off the courts, roads, and fields all of our athletes excelled. Some of our highlights included, the flying mullet of Callum Burge taking gold in the triathlon, our U14 basketball girls claiming the silver medal, our hockey teams had their best results in years narrowly missing the medals, and our volleyball squad taking two golds and a silver in the first ever volleyball Academy Games tournament.
This is always one of our key events to kick off the scholarship and connect the programs with each other. This year we had 150 athletes attend the day
With a whole year’s worth of training, events, strength and conditioning, and education behind us, I will hit on some of the key moments in our 2021/22 scholarship.
After several cancelations because of Covid, we finally got our MCR Indigenous Talent ID underway in July this year. With over 80 kids in attendance from schools across the Illawarra, the day was a huge success. We would like to thank the support given to the day by the Clontarf Academy, NSW Rugby, NSW Hockey, Jack Newton Junior Golf and NSW Basketball for their support on the day.

For one of the last event’s of the scholarship year, our indoor volleyball squad headed to Sydney to compete in the inaugural Volleyball NSW and Regional Academies of Sport 2-day statewide volleyball camp. Again, great success followed out volleyball athletes with the girls junior and senior sides taking gold and our boys unlucky to just miss out on a medal.

This year saw the first ever Basketball Camp held here in Wollongong, with the Western Region Academy of Sport in attendance. The weekend included all athletes attending a Hawks game, a team culture education session with Condor Performance, a training session led by both academies coaching staff and finally some competitive games. Next scholarship year we are looking to extend the invite to include all south/west Regional Academies.
I think that this is the message that I would like to finish on for the scholarship year. Every where I go, every event that I attend, people are always eager to remind me of how amazing our athletes are as sportspeople but also as people. And it’s this depth of personal character that I love to celebrate and know that we are sending out great people into the world.

The IAS continued its partnership with NSWIS which primarily involved delivering strength and conditioning sessions for NSWIS athletes based in the Illawarra, this included Sarah Carli and Luke Pople, who were both selected for the Birmingham Commonwealth Games. This partnership helps strengthen pathway opportunities for our athletes and provides direct access to world class physical performance expertise.
partially progressed through all available strength training programs. Including athletes that were performing programs from external providers (state sporting organisations, NSWIS, private clinics etc.), around 85% of all IAS athletes were engaged in some form of structured strength and conditioning, a great result we look to build upon in 2022/23.
The delivery of our strength and conditioning program was again strengthened by support from Brad Genova, who works part-time as a Performance Coach. Brad’s expertise and experience with youth athletes has been invaluable in allowing us to provide a high-quality service to all athletes. Additionally, 10 Performance Coaches

were employed by the IAS to assist on a casual basis. The recruitment of these coaches strengthened the delivery of strength and conditioning sessions in regions outside the Wollongong Council area in particular, ensuring all IAS athletes are provided with the same opportunities for supervised strength and conditioning sessions.
The attendance at weekly strength and conditioning sessions was pleasing and it was nice to have an uninterrupted year of gym access after 2 years of intermittent lockdowns. Around 150, or 60% of IAS athletes either fully or
In 2021/22, the IAS continued to provide a comprehensive strength and conditioning service which supported the long-term athletic development of all scholarship holders.
To ensure a strong foundation was established for both present and future physical development, every IAS athlete had access to three sport specific strength programs designed for varying levels of experience. Successful progression to each phase of programming was determined by movement competency tests and consistent attendance at gym sessions.
We truly believe we are delivering an invaluable program that not only supports long term athletic development, but teaches our athletes safe and healthy gym practices that will hopefully stay with them long after they leave the IAS. We look forward to continuing this in 2022/23.
Physical performance testing was conducted at both the start (October 2021) and end (August 2022) of the scholarship. A comparison of results indicated athletes that consistently attended IAS gym sessions made significant improvements in all measures of general athletic ability, a key objective of the strength and conditioning service.
Thank you to our gym providers Kiama Leisure Centre, Lakeside Leisure Centre, Bay & Basin Leisure Centre, Moss Vale Memorial Aquatic Centre, UOW, Tribe Fitness Ulladulla and Northy Gym.
STRENGTH & CONDITIONING REPORT 2022
Early in the scholarship we delivered a three-part webinar series designed to educate both athletes and parents on the importance and benefits of youth resistance training. Other topics included training load management, the effect of “growth spurts”, and an examination of common myths related to youth strength training. These webinars were wellreceived and feedback suggested they were extremely beneficial to both athletes and parents.

In 2021/22, the MCR Indigenous Sports Program consisted of 15 athletes spanning across Rugby, Lonestar, AWD, Basketball, Cycling, Netball and Volleyball Programs. Unfortunately, in 2021 COVID and bad weather impacted heavily on some of organisations that we had in place for this program. However, in 2022 thankfully the clouds dispersed, and we were able to offer some unique opportunities for this group of athletes.
In 2022, each Indigenous athlete was invited along to participate in a cultural painting class at the Coomaditchie United Aboriginal Corporation led by Aunty Lorraine Brown. The athletes were taught how their paintings and art captures the spirit, colours and stories of their cultural heritage as coastal people. It was truly an amazing opportunity to listen to these stories and see them brought to life.

Further donations from the Great Illawarra Walk up to the amount of $150,000.00 have been pledged, and are likely to be received over the next two years.

These notes should be read in conjunction with the attached audit report.
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL REPORT
Note 2 Great Illawarra Walk donation
The company contributes to several defined benefit and defined contribution superannuation plans. Contributions are charged against income as they are made. The company is under no legal obligation to make up any shortfall in the funds assets to meet payments due to employees.
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 ACADEMY OF SPORTS INCORPORATED
Management have decided that it is more apporpriate to record this donation as a liability on the Academy's balance sheet. It is the view of management that to do otherwise would overstate both the Academy's profit for the year, and the surplus available as at 30/06/2022 as these amounts are not for the general use of the Academy but are to be held until the required $150,000.00 is raised for the use in the development of the disabled athlete facility.
Employee entitlements

Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of good and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of expense.
(g) Goods and Services Tax
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the balance sheet.
Payables and receivables are stated with the amount of GST included.
We have audited the financial report of Illawarra Academy of Sport Inc., which comprises the Balance Sheet as at 30 June 2022, the Profit and Loss Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In preparing the financial report, management is responsible for assessing the Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Entity or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Entity’s financial reporting process.
ILLAWARRA ACADEMY OF SPORT ANNUAL REPORT 82 IAS 2022 FINANCIALS
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report ofIllawarra Academy of Sport Inc. presents fairly, in all material respects, the Balance Sheet as at 30 June 2022 and the Profit and Loss Statement for the year then ended in accordance with the Associations Incorporation Act 2009 (the Act) and the Regulations.
Basis for Opinion
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Report
INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ILLAWARRA ACADEMY OF SPORT INCORPORATED
ILLAWARRA ACADEMY OF SPORT INCORPORATED
We draw attention to Note 1 to the financial report, which describes the basis of accounting. The financial report has been prepared to assist Illawarra Academy of Sport Inc. to meet the requirements of the Associations Incorporation Act 2009 (the Act) and the Regulations. As a result, the financial report may not be suitable for another purpose. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Emphasis of Matter - Basis of Accounting
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Entity in accordance with the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with the financial reporting requirements of the applicable legislation and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation and fair presentation of a financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Opinion
Date:
Conclude on the appropriateness of the committee’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the association’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the association to cease to continue as a going concern.
We communicate with the committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
ILLAWARRA ACADEMY OF SPORT ANNUAL REPORT 83
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Association’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the committee.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
