Diving Australia performed well in 2014 achieving above target performances at the benchmark events the world cup in Shanghai and world junior championships in Penza and reaching its target at the Commonwealth Games. Leading diver Melissa Wu returned to form and was joined by younger divers Georgia Sheehan Maddison Keeney and Lara Tarvit who won medals at the world juniors and world cup. Diving Australia has introduced significant changes to its program. This has included adding a focused national synchro program and two extra domestic dive events and expanding from one high performance centre to three led by a national coach with international medal-winning experience. This restructure necessitates Diving Australia to realign the contributions needed from high performance staff and stakeholders more closely to the Australias Winning Edge target outcomes for Rio. Diving Australia is actively seeking opportunities in the talent pathways area such as refining the current talent identification and development TID processes to link with proposed talent transfer mechanisms. It is also working with Gymnastics Australia Spin to Win and to enhance state sporting organisation involvement. governance When benchmarked against Australias Winning Edge sports Diving Australia has some areas that are below standard. Diving is continuing to address these areas including the introduction of a nominations committee which will move it closer to achieving the benchmark. 2014 benchmark event world cup medal target 0 to 1 actual gold 0 silver 0 bronze 2 total 2 equestrian high performance high performance para P P Total investment 201415 3092000 high performance 2140000 high performance para 500000 participation 337000 other 115000 ASC funding as a percentage of total income 49 Equestrian Australia has been rated as progressing for both the Olympic and Paralympic disciplines. The 2014 benchmark events for both Olympic and Paralympic programs was to medal at the World Equestrian Games WEG unfortunately neither program was able to meet the medal targets. However a positive outcome from the WEG was the qualification of the eventing team for the Rio Olympic Games which will enable athletes to focus on developing combinations. Australia was unable to do this at the equivalent event leading in to London 2012. A thorough review of the high performance program conducted post-WEG identified necessary changes to the structure within the high performance programs. It also generated critical recommendations to be implemented which will enable the required performance shift to meet the medal targets in Rio. These changes and recommendations are supported by the CEO and the board. Equestrian Australia is continuing to pursue opportunities with the Australian Sports Foundation. governance Equestrian Australia has progressed against the ASCs mandatory sports governance principles and shown willingness to continue enhancing its governance. Equestrian Australia is working to streamline key areas across the entire sport which will assist it to achieve benchmark standards. 2014 benchmark event World Equestrian Games medal target 1 actual gold 0 silver 0 bronze 0 total 0 2014 Paralympic benchmark event World Equestrian Games medal target 1 actual gold 0 silver 0 bronze 0 total 0
