EVALUATIONS

In accordance with the Government’s wish to move towards greater levels of contestability between the AIS, State Institutes and Academies and other high performance facilities, the ASC will evaluate relative outcomes in 2002.

All AIS Scholarship programs were evaluated in 1999-2000 to determine which sports should have AIS programs and what type of program should be provided. The evaluation findings were implemented from 1 January 2001. In line with the Government’s stated high performance outcomes, the effectiveness of the restructured AIS program will be analysed in 2002.

An analysis of the Olympic Athlete Program was conducted after the Sydney Olympics and Paralympics. Under the new Sports Excellence Program sports will have their performances measured against their agreed performance outcomes.

Achievement of all outputs will be evaluated against the measures included in Table

2.2.3 and will be shown in the Annual Report.
