The Commissioners of the Board are responsible, under Section 9 of the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act 1997, for the preparation and content of the Report of Operations in accordance with the Finance Minister`s Orders 2008. The Board resolved to adopt the Report of Operations as a true and concise portrayal of the year`s activities. This report assesses the Australian Sports Commission`s performance against the accountability framework agreed with the Australian Government, and highlights the success of its programs. During the year the ASC commenced work on a number of initiatives to achieve a better alignment of effort in Australia`s high performance sports system. The most significant of these is a collaborative partnership agreement with state and territory institutes and academies of sport to address the current fragmentation in planning and delivery of high performance programs. The agreement seeks to achieve this through a collective commitment to national pathway plans and the related high performance programs developed in conjunction with national sporting organisations. This work is being led by the ASC in conjunction with the National Elite Sports Council, and is seen as the most practicable approach to achieving alignment within the federated structure of Australian sport. Another initiative being progressed by the ASC through the National Elite Sports Council is the establishment of a national athlete support scheme. This aims to provide nationally consistent athlete support to Australia`s elite athletes and, in doing so, overcome the current problems associated with the requirement for an athlete to be aligned with a particular institute or academy.
