Individual Support Program
Guidelines

TIS Individual Athlete Support is available to Tasmanian athletes normally resident in Tasmania who are registered with a national or state sporting organisation competing in sports that are not receiving support through any other TIS programs:

Applicants may apply for a TIS Individual Athlete Support at any time.
The period of the support offered will be based on an assessment of the athlete’s Individual Competition Plan, with reference to key selection events.

Individual athlete support will be awarded based on national athlete categorisation. Athletes are awarded an ‘athlete category’ by their sport’s National Sporting Organisation (NSO). Support will be awarded in the following categories, with priority given to the highest level (Podium) of categorisation:

Podium
Podium Ready
Podium Potential
Developing
Emerging

Individual support with the TIS will be primarily determined by the following criteria:

The athlete’s current category - confirmed by the athlete’s relevant NSO
The athlete's ranking in his/her sport at the international level
The athlete's potential for advancement to or improvement at the international level
The number of high performance or potential high-performance competitors within the sport
The proposed annual competition, training program and location of the athlete
The level of assistance the athlete is receiving from other parties.

Athletes will be requested to submit a training program for the support period, indicating their competition and training requirements and a projected estimate of associated costs. This will help develop an appropriate Individual Performance Plan which will outline their critical success factors in establishing their relationship with the TIS including funding and resource requirements.

Individual Athlete Support is not offered to the following sports: canoe slalom, cycling, hockey, netball, rowing, sailing, swimming and track and field.

All cycling, hockey, rowing and track and field applications will be assessed according to selection criteria as specified by the relevant National Sporting Organisation. All netball, canoe slalom, sailing and swimming applications will be assessed according to TIS Elite Development Program (EDP) criteria. Selection criteria and details of each program are available on request from the TIS or via the TIS website.
