EXPRESSION OF INTEREST

WORKSHOP OVERVIEW

Engaging and listening to our community is at the heart of the One Athletics mission. Athletics Australia (AA) & Little Athletics Australia (LAA) is committed to establishing and maintaining high quality processes in community engagement and public participation, to ensure people who participate and work within Athletics have the right to influence and have a stake in the future of our sport.

To that end, One Athletics is inviting Expressions of Interests from community members that would like to provide their insight and feedback on the future participation model of Athletics. The purpose of the workshop is to provide a forum for discussion and feedback between the One Athletics project team (representatives from AA, LAA and Sport Australia) who are working collaboratively to develop and design a participation pathway for 13 to 17-year-olds, that improves the customer experience in youth Athletics.

The workshop is an opportunity to share your ideas, aspirations and priorities in a fun, practical and engaging way. Public participation and engagement are the foundation of good decision-making and is mutually beneficial to the community and the One Athletics project team.
