Strategic Priorities

1. Demonstrate the proven link between gymnastics, health and education, and secure government funds for implementation of projects and programs.
2. Adopt a national model for the operations of cheer leading and aerobics
3. Create a stronger presence in the 12-16 year old market.
4. Implement a targeted national high performance plan to maximise Olympic medal opportunities.
5. Offer integrated education to strengthen the career pathways for coaches, officials and administrators.
6. Make more efficient the gymnastics systems and processed on a national wide basis.
7. Investigate the pros and cons of a non-federated model, and if proven beneficial, gain agreement for implementation.
