WINNING PARTNERSHIP
MESSAGE FROm THE AUSTRALIAN SPORTS COmmISSION
The countdown to an Olympic and Paralympic Games is an exciting time for Australians. As London 2012 looms on our horizon there is much work to be done to ne tune our preparations. The Australian Government and the Australian Sports Commission (ASC) continue to work closely with Olympic and Paralympic sports, along with the Australian Olympic and Paralympic Committees to ensure our athletes get the best possible support. Through the Green and Gold project, $3.85 million in extra funding has been provided for our top Olympic athletes and teams to boost their training and preparations for London 2012. A true sign that Australian sport is united in working together is the endorsement from the Commonwealth, State and Territory Governments of the National Sport and Active Recreation Policy Framework. What this means is that for the rst time all governments have agreed on priorities for sport. Underpinning the Framework is the new National Institutes System Intergovernmental Agreement which unites our National Institutes of Sport and national sporting organisations

The Australian Sports Commission proudly supports Australian University Sport

The Australian Sports Commission is the Australian Government agency that develops, supports and invests in sport at all levels in Australia. Australian University Sport has worked closely with the Australian Sports Commission to develop university sport from community participation to high-level performance. Australian University Sport is one of many national sporting organisations that has formed a winning partnership with the Australian Sports Commission to develop their sport in Australia.

to work hand-in-hand to achieve common national high performance objectives to maximise resourcing and expertise in support of the development of world class athletes to achieve international success. This Framework is supported by signicant additional investment in sport by the Australian Government. The 2011-12 Budget will provide $300 million to support the full spectrum of sport from grass roots through to elite competition. Support by the Australian Government will enable a more collaborative long term focus to drive reform within Australian sport and importantly make the connection between Australians standing on the podium and young Australians participating in sport. This is an exciting and challenging time for Australian sport. The Australian Sports Commission looks forward to working with all sporting organisations, the state and territory institutes and academies of sport and state and territory departments of sport and recreation, to promote access to, and participation in, sport across the community and support Australias continued sporting success.

PRESIDENTS REPORT
As will be apparent from this Annual Report, 2011 was a challenging but highly successful year for Australian University Sport (AUS). Our traditional activities and our partnership with the Australian Sports Commission have ourished and in addition new initiatives have been undertaken, including management of the Australian Masters Games. Additionally, much ground work in laying the foundations for new programs has been completed in 2011. Working with ACUMA, AUS lobbied successfully for the reintroduction of a compulsory services and amenities fee to help ensure the nancial viability of ongoing sport and recreational activities on university campuses. I take this opportunity to thank members for their support for the lobbying effort. We are cognisant of and acknowledge the many letters and representations members made to politicians throughout the course of this long campaign. AUS aims to support sport on university campuses at two levels. The rst is to identify and to help develop and support elite athletes across Olympic, national and international sports. Young people able to combine participation at the highest level of sport with academic achievement are very special and our universities must make it easier for them to do so. Our elite athlete friendly universities program helps them to achieve their academic potential and our facilities and sporting competitions provide opportunities for them to develop to their full athletic potential. There is an increasing recognition of the valuable contribution university sport makes to elite athlete and coach development at national and international levels. This is evidenced in particular by the growing status of the World University Summer Games event, and the elevated high performance culture that now pervades the Australian Team. The second and equally important role of AUS is to promote a healthy lifestyle through participation in sport. The increasing prevalence of obesity, diabetes and other lifestyle-related disease makes it more important than ever that the critical years of tertiary study are seen as an opportunity to incorporate regular participation in sport and physical activity as an integral part of a healthy lifestyle. AUS is increasingly supporting its members to provide programs across their universities encouraging widespread participation by students, staff and alumni in sporting and other physically active recreational pursuits. I thank the Board for their voluntary and expert guidance of AUS, as well as their willing contributions to Board appointed standing committees. I also thank CEO, Don Knapp and all the staff of AUS for their superb work throughout the year. Additionally, AUS section managers provide the organisation with strong and directed leadership at all times. Finally, I thank the members of AUS for their active implementation and ongoing support of the strategies of AUS.

CEOS REPORT
In a word, busy is how one might describe the year. Not busy from the standpoint of business as usual, rather, at times AUS was stretched to the limit in 2011. Following on from the good work done in 2010 in respect to the stratgeic repositioning of AUS, our organisational activity was centred on two, broad strategic fronts: a) endeavouring to improve ongoing events, programs and systems; while b) taking on, or continuing to explore new and innovative program opportunities. Back in December 2010, at its strategic review and planning session, the AUS Board established 7 Big Rock Priorities for the 2011 year. This report recounts the many examples of successful strategy execution, as well as areas where we may have come up short in respect to the agreed Big Rock Priorities. On balance, it is evident that 2011 was a year that featured several benchmark achievements that have and will continue to have positive impacts for the entire university sport sector for years to come.

2011 PERFORMANCE IN RESpECT TO BIG ROCK PRIORITIES 1 KEEpING Up WITH GROWTH

AUS set an ambitious growth agenda for 2011, while intensifying lobbying efforts in support of the Services and Amenities Fee Bill. In consideration of members feedback and AUS Board and management assessments, new product research and development opportunities were identied and priorities established for the following programs: Ernst & Young Uni-league feasibility study TAFE sport research and growth in participation Australian Masters Games management/partnership potential; and AUS and sector-wide health promotions The Board and management identied that the creation of new products and expansion was a high risk activity, with the potential to threaten successful, existing AUS core programs, staff capacity and nancial viability. It was agreed that any new proposed programs would undergo thorough risk analysis and this practice has been imbedded in AUS risk management policies and procedures. This practice was particularly useful in the eventual decision for AUS to take on the management rights and partnership arrangement with the Confederation of Australian Sport (CAS) for the 2011 Australian Masters Games (AMG). Signicant, yet manageable growth and progress was achieved in major priority areas in 2011. As we strive to increase the university sport footprint in the future, managing growth represents an ogoing organisational challenge.

CEOS REPORT
2 AUS ANd AUSTRALIAN SpORTS COMMISSION (ASC) STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIp
This relationship was redened in 2011 and the ASC now considers AUS a strategic partner. The partnership strengthened in 2011, with the ASC supporting several innovative projects. The ASC fully funded the Ernst & Young Uni-league feasibility study. This study and the ndings will shape and inuence future Uni-league business modelling and pilot programs. (RDOs) aimed at increasing TAFE student participation at regional games was in large-part funded through a new, ongoing ASC Participation grant program. national sporting organisations (NSOs) to offer student-athletes and coaches the highest ever levels of participation subsidies for the World University Summer Games (WUSG) program (Shenzhen, China). disassembled by the ASC in late 2010, owing to the strategic re-positioning of the program. Both the WUSG and the World Winter Games teams beneted from this, as the ASC approved the former NTID grant to be used in support of these respective 2011 programs. The TAFE-sport research project and activities undertaken by Regional Development Officers

Upon the recommendation of ISOC Chair and AUS Director Brendan Lynch, and ISOC Secretary and AUS National Programs Manager Donna Spethman, this ad-hoc Committee will continue its work beyond its original tenure and brief. As this Committee is composed mainly from members, ISOC is considered an excellent representative reference group and vital to the aim of AUS to continually improve sport outcomes for participants and members.

4 SpORT SECTOR DEVELOpMENT ANd SUSTAINAbILITY

Transitioning out of the RUSFP An identied nancial risk and challenge to AUS in 2011 was the inevitable expiration of the RUSFP grant at the end of 2010. Clearly, both AUS and members faced additional resource challenges with the loss of this 4-year, $2.5 million per annum grant, of which the majority was paid out directly to members in staff salary subsidies and participation incentive funding from 2007 through 2010. Growth in sport participation on campuses and at national and regional events during the RUSFP era was substantial and sustained in 2011. Services and amenities fee legislation (SAF) It was a long lasting, and at times frustrating campaign, but the SAF Bill passed into legislation in the next to last sitting session of the Senate in 2011 on 12 October. The campaign was also expensive, as the AUS and ACUMA partnership invested $180K from 2007 through 2011 towards the lobbying effort ($120K of the total was spent on the VSU Impact Study). At the time of writing this report, it is too early to get a helicopter view of how Sport Delivery Agents (SDAs) across the 41 AUS member campuses have beneted, or otherwise from the introduction of the SAF. Although the passing of the legislation is a major triumph, the outcomes for SDAs are yet to be determined sector-wide. AUS thanks ACUMA for their long-standing and committed support during the protracted lobbying period. Former ACUMA President Tom OSullivan, who tragically lost his courageous battle against cancer late in 2011, should and will be remembered as the driver and strategic leader of the lobbying campaign. It is rewarding and just to know that Tom was well enough to celebrate the passing of the SAF legislation prior to his passing.

Increased ASC High Performance funding enabled AUS, along with partner universities and

The National Talent Identification Program (NTID) in the university sport sector was

The partnership between the ASC and AUS signies the growing awareness that the university sport sector not only contributes valuable resources and support for the national sports program currently, but also that university sport can be more effectively integrated into national sports pathway in the future. I think our universities become a real hive of innovation but can also assist our athletes. If a [student] athlete cant be at an academy or institute there is no better place for them to be than at university actually studying and training at the same time. And thats something that I support and will be working towards. (Hon Min for Sport Senator Mark Arbib, NESC Conference December 2011). We thank the ASC for their support throughout 2011, while expressing appreciation for the efforts of our Senior Sports Partnership Manager, Peter Minchin.

3 IMpROVING SpORT OUTCOMES THROUGH EVENTS

With the aim of improving existing events, in 2010, members will recall that under the direction of the Sport Strategy Committee, the ad-hoc Improving Sport Outcomes Committee (ISOC) was created to review AUS events. The objectives of the ISOC review included: To raise the standard of sport outcomes at regional and national events To provide better value to those attending AUS events To raise the profile of AUS events To create an identifiable link, or pathway between regional and national events; and To address potential risks associated with events (alcohol consumption, social/party perception, event culture). Tom O'Sullivan 1957-2011 The Case for University Sport In October 2011, immediately after the passing of the SAF legislation, AUS circulated to Vice Chancellors the discussion paper The Case for University Sport. A major aim of this project was to raise the awareness of vice chancellors and executive managers at universities about the value, role and importance of sport participation as an integral aspect of a well rounded higher education. Feedback from a variety of levels among university hierarchies has been very positive in response to the paper. AUS remains committed to further developing projects for which the case for supporting university sport on campus can be convincingly articulated. 15 " Always rockin' Tom O'Sullivan brought student services together and helped to establish university events.

2011 was a year that featured the implementation of many of the recommendations made as a result of the ISOC review. Perhaps the most signicant advent was the qualication policy, that required universities to qualify through participation in regional games in the ve most oversubscribed team sports in order to advance to competition at the Australian University Games. Other signicant developments resulting from the ISOC review included: Ongoing commitment to UTM training programs including a focus on responsible use of alcohol education and strategies for participants at events; and

The creation of the Central Regional Games to assist in AUG qualification pathways.

CEOS REPORT
Members benets and support In 2011, AUS has remained committed to providing members with tangible support and value for money membership benets, including: Continued build-up of the capacity of regional development operations National conferences and regional forums Shared industry knowledge, training and professional development National IT and communications system (NCD) Direct assistance and support for lobbying for sport on campuses and/ or sector wide Undertaking relevant sector research and collecting and sharing benchmarking and participation data through surveys and other means

7 FINANCE ANd AdMINISTRATION

The 2011 nancial reports are comprehensively reported upon later in this annual report. From an operational standpoint, a major focus was keeping our heads above water nancially in 2011, post the RUSFP. Originally, AUS made provision for the likelihood of needing to transfer $100K from reserves to achieve a break even trading position. It is pleasing to report that this transfer was not necessary. Factors that enabled this better than expected trading result without transfers included: Approval from the ASC to utilise the former NTID grant in support of the WUSG program Better than anticipated interest returns on the AUS investment portfolio Additional income generated from the management rights for the AMG Effective financial management and control

5 BUSINESS DEVELOpMENT
There were several encouraging business growth developments in 2011. A specic business aim was to create new products with an over-riding objective of generating additional and diversied income opportunities. It was condence boosting for AUS to win the bid for management rights to the iconic AMG, and at the same time enter into an arrangement with CAS that has commercial potential. Risk management Commercialisation of the NCD Owing to delays in nalising the last of several key functions for the NCD, AUS is well behind original roll-out and member uptake targets. This of course has signicantly inhibited attempts to commercialise and generate revenue from this national communications tool in 2011. Relationships with commercial partners It is clear that relationships with sponsors and preferred suppliers have strengthened in 2011, as evidenced by: Longer term retention of partners Increased levels of support from partners Continuation of the Tertiary Access Group (TAG) partnership Recruitment of additional preferred suppliers; and Improved quality of partner servicing and reporting protocols WUSG ISOC The work of the ISOC, Chaired by Director Brendan Lynch and driven by National Programs Manager Donna Spethman not only produced excellent outcomes, but exemplied how effectively the Board, senior staff and members can work together to improve university sport. Thank you for your good work. In 2011, AUS achieved full operational implementation of its new Risk Management Policy and Procedures system. To be overly jubilant about a year in which AUS has managed a slightly better than break-even nancial result could lead to setting the bar too low in the future. On the other hand, for a notfor-prot organisation to achieve break-even in the year immediately after the expiration of a $2.5 million annual government grant program is not bad going.

WITH THANKS
There are many people and stakeholders who have made valuable and generous contributions to AUS in 2011 and a few of the more signicant achievements are acknowledged below.

6 HEALTH PROMOTION
Progress in respect to the objectives for this priority has been limited in 2011, although some signicant developments have occurred, including: The Board appointed the Improving Health Outcomes Committee (IHOC) and identified the terms of reference for the sub-committee IHOC has collected data from SDAs about current program activity in respect to health

The 2011 WUSG team produced our best-ever result. Under the leadership of Chef de Mission Martin Roberts and National High Performance Manager Siobhan James, a key ingredient to the improving performance of this program over the past two Universiades is the strengthening of relationships between AUS and NSOs...thanks team. AMG General Manager Tony Jermyn, Project Manager Ian Fitzpatick and Business Development Manager Fiona Cullen spearheaded AUSs rst go at managing the AMG. This event certainly presented many challenges. Taking on this project was well worth the effort, as AUS has forged a strong working relationship with event owner/partners CAS, while delivering an event that participant survey results indicate was both enjoyable and well organised. Pleasingly, the 2011 AMG also achieved a nancial outcome that was true to budget.

promotion on campuses as well as further engagement in health promotional activity. From the data, it was evident that few SDAs are currently engaged in health promotional activity beyond encouraging regular physical activity; and that SDAs would like to become more engaged in campus health promotional activity.

Additionally, IHOC has taken on the roll of ensuring ongoing responsible use of alcohol management and education remains a feature of UTM training programs. It is encouraging to note that there was a signicant reduction in alcohol related incident reports during the 2011 AUG (Gold Coast).

CEOS REPORT
Finance, administration and all staff The AUS nance and administration team under the direction of Glenys Woolcock, took on additional work in 2011 providing back-up support in a number of areas owing to the very hectic year of activity AUS undertook. In fact all staff stepped up to the plate admirably in this busy year. In particular, Regional Development Ofcers (RDOs) and coordinators displayed strong leadership and decision making skills throughout the year. AUS Board of Directors Under the leadership provided by President Richard Larkins, the Board provided AUS with a sound, yet challenging strategic rudder. I would like to thank all Directors for their constant willingness to help at all levels, while at the same time allowing staff to operationalise strategy without undue interference. Members, students and volunteers Finally, and most importantly, AUS receives tremendous support from both its members and students who participate in sport in increasing numbers throughout the sector. Thank you for helping make 2011 a successful year. Don Knapp Chief Executive Ofcer Australian University Sport

NATIONAL DEVELOPmENT
TAFE SPORT
AUS made some impressive steps forward in 2011 with four new TAFE institutions competing at regional university games events. In the south Chisholm Institute and Holmesglen sent teams to Geelong and in the east region Sydney Institute and North Sydney Institute participated in an AUS event for the rst time when they joined South Western Sydney and Canberra Institutes in sending teams to Canberra. In all 142 TAFE students participated in regional university games across the country. Although the progress in this sector has been slower than initially expected there have been some positive indications with all six TAFE institutions that competed in 2011 conrming that they will be participating again in 2012. The total number of participating institutes is expected to double in 2012 with strong expressions of interest already received. AUS has worked closely with TAFE institutions not only on event participation but also with lecturers to build team management and organisation into the course curricula across the country. Many of the participating TAFE teams are now being organised by students themselves as part of their studies. AUS has also worked in collaboration with engaging TAFE institute Directors to support the move for their students to engage in sporting opportunities on campus.

NATIONAL COMMUNICATION DATAbASE (NCD)

Following completion of stage one of system development, 2011 saw the implementation of a national roll out plan to members through training of sports ofcers, management and clubs by AUS RDOs. The NCD now has over 30 sport delivery agent sites created within the system, the majority of which are made up of test sites and those in development stages due for release in 2012. Of the current created sites, four members have sites that are live: Flinders University www.unisport.com.au/inders Swinburne University www.unisport.com.au/swinburne Queensland University of Technology www.unisport.com.au/qutsport Deakin University www.unisport.com.au/dusasport The RDOs will continue working with members in 2012 to create sites as required and assist with site mapping, development and ongoing training according to SDA specic requirements. Members are yet to engage with the full capacity of the NCD including the ability to sell merchandise and/ or other products online, create full club sites with customised templates for managing teams and club activities, and event manager tools. AUS invested a reasonable sum in 2011 to complete the event management module in order to provide the capability to manage event registrations, collect payments (linked directly to nominated bank account) and email participants. The NCD is a free website for all AUS members to access. It is a purpose built site that can be customised to suit the needs of members.

NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
HEALTH PROMOTION
In May of 2011, AUS distributed a member health check survey designed to provide a greater understanding of how universities and member organisations see their role, and approach the health promotions space within the university community. The results of the survey indicated that only a handful of members currently engage the university population in some form of health promotional activity. Of the 37 universities who responded, over 94% indicated that they would like to become more engaged, and 97% indicating that they should become more involved in university community and wider community health promotion initiatives. 2011 would not have been the success it was without the passion, commitment, drive and In light of these results, AUS, in consultation with the Improving Health Outcomes Committee (IHOC) investigated a variety of health promotion initiatives with the goal of establishing the best t campaign for members and TAFE institutions, and one that would ultimately capture the 18 - 25 year student market. In December, AUS successfully partnered with the Zaidees Rainbow Foundation, to pilot a health promotions initiative in the south region in 2012 called Zaidees Physical Feats and Health Hour. The health promotion initiative, scheduled 16-20 April, is designed to get participants active in a non competitive environment, with the key message; healthy body, healthy organs, focusing on inspiring discussion around becoming an organ and tissue donor. enthusiasm displayed by each and every staff member working within the south universities and TAFE institutes. A huge thankyou to all south members for their invaluable work throughout the year, especially to the University Team Managers (UTMs) and the continuation to drive participation at all AUS events. Victoria University (VU) celebrated a successful 2011 with the opening of the new, state of the art Institute of Sport Exercise and Active Living research facility, as well as the introduction of a Youth Sport Program designed to offer greater sport and physical recreation opportunities to the VU students. see Monash Sport better align itself with key university strategic objectives along with key facility upgrades.

NORTH
2011 saw the wide reaching north region engaging in an action packed year for university sport. Despite a reasonably high staff turn over, the north members embraced challenges to collectively boast a successful year of university sport. Some highlights for the year include: The University of New England partnered with AUS to host the Northern University Games (NUG) in Armidale, NSW. The Games were a huge success largely due to the ideal facilities and ongoing support provided by SportUNE and the community of Armidale. and the overall AUS per capita. advantage to win both the mens and womens divisions as well as the overall championship. The AUC Triathlon also saw another win for the north with Grifth University claiming the overall champion title. swimming pool in their pre-existing sports precinct. Grifth University opened a new Aquatic & Fitness Centre at the Mt Gravatt campus as the Gold Coast campus await tennis, beach volleyball and basketball facility rebuilds amidst Gold Coast University Hospital developments due for completion in 2012. The University of Queensland also successfully rebuilt a number of ood damaged facilities and did an incredible job of managing programs given the tough circumstances. meetings held throughout the year including general workshops, post event review sessions and end-of-year forum. for future involvement with Southbank TAFE managing to integrate recruitment and team management into course practicum, as well as increased interest from key Queensland and northern New South Wales TAFEs to utlise the NUG as a key sporting opportunity for students in 2012.

REGIONAL REPORTS
SOUTH
2011 was an extremely eventful year for the south region. The south universities were well represented at all AUS events and combined, achieved some 24 gold, 22 silver and 25 bronze medals at the AUG alone. Five south universities nished within the top 15 Australian University Games (AUG) rankings, the highest number of universities from any one region within the top 15. The south region demonstrated a unied approach to the ongoing development of the university sport sector by hosting a number of south sport ofcer and manager workshops throughout the year. The workshops provided an opportunity for members to come together to share ideas as well as learn about and foster successful programs being offered by other members. The workshops were particularly successful in assisting members gain a better understanding of, and further champion their Case for Sport leading into the reintroduction of the SAF.

AUSTRALIAN MASTERS GAMES
The 13th Australian Masters Games (13AMG) was delivered in Adelaide, South Australia between the 7 - 16 October 2011. The Confederation of Australian Sport (CAS), partnered with AUS, for the delivery of the Games. This partnership was formed in mid 2010 with the rst staff appointments made by AUS in October 2010. AUS undertook the management of the 13AMG as an opportunity to continue the development of its health agenda and highlight the importance of lifelong participation in sport and physical activity. This event provides AUS members a platform to encourage participation amongst staff and university alumni in a similar model event to that of the successful but student focused AUG. This year also saw the creation of a new brand, the Uniroos,as the ofcial name associated with the elite high performance teams sanctioned and endorsed by AUS to compete at international university sporting events (see High Performance report for more information).

MARKETING
The marketing activities delivered in 2011 built on the strength of the rebrand undertaken in 2010 and aimed to consolidate the unigames brand, Get your game face on tagline. The consistent application of the brand across all collateral and primary communication channels including the website, facebook page and electronic direct mail campaigns was an important focus.

MEDIA
A total of 8597 individuals competed in the 13AMG, across a program of 52 sports. Whilst nal participation gures were lower than original 13AMG targets, participation did increase by some 20% compared to the 12th Australian Masters Games, Geelong. The Games also utilised in excess of 1,000 volunteers. The Games received signicant and instrumental support from the South Australian Government, through the South Australian Tourism Commission and Events SA ofce. The growth of the relationship between various South Australian Government ofces and AUS during 13AMG will prove benecial for the delivery of the 2012 AUG in Adelaide. Other signicant achievements included: The overall feedback regarding the 13AMG has been extremely positive with participants and key event stakeholders overwhelmingly pleased with the delivery of the event and the experience provided. The nal participation numbers, attraction of new participants to the Games, regional bias breakdown and overall nancial performance of the Games were pleasing outcomes. AUS is currently negotiating with CAS for the management the next two games to be held in 2013 and 2015.

This year was also the rst time that AUS had sent a full time staff member to act as the Team Media Liaison. This role was also further supported by a volunteer intern role that was lled by a student currently undertaking a degree in journalism at University of Western Australia.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
In an increasingly competitive and difcult sponsorship environment AUS maintained its existing portfolio of national sponsors and added a number of national preferred suppliers as well as a few new event partners to the fold in 2011. In addition to the continued support of the Australian Sports Commission as Principal Partner, Red Bull and Powerade continued on as national partners for the sixth and third year in a row respectively. The signing of a three year exclusive supplier agreement with the Canterbury Clothing Company marked an important turning point in the apparel sponsor category for AUS with a view to providing members and the World University Games teams (the Uniroos) with world class team wear and apparel. Victor Sports came on board as the new preferred supplier for medical equipment and Student Edge, a student discount card supplier, also came on board in 2011 as the lanyard sponsor as part of the agreement each AUS event participant could opt in to receive a free Student Edge discount card. In relation to events, AUS continues to be successful at a local level in fostering relationships with sampling companies and local government agencies. In 2011, AUS was successful in securing the following new event partners across national and regional events: Ice Break (Iced coffee beverage produced by Parmalat Australia) Brooks (running and cross training shoes) JanSport (backpack supplier) Airtrain (transport) Transport Accident Commission (Victorian government transport authority)

SPECIAL EVENTS
AUS again focused on providing event participants with an even richer event experience in 2011. This was achieved through creating and staging Opening Ceremony events at all regional and national games that featured a distinct ceremonial aspect and live performances by leading artists in the current music scene. Participants at AUG were treated to a spectacular event on opening night that saw 4,550 participants descend on Dreamworld on the Gold Coast and take over the theme park for the night. The event represented phenomenal value for money to participants who had access to all the rides, a food and drink voucher, transport to and from the venue, and live entertainment by well known DJs Nina Las Vegas and the Bag Raiders all included in their entry ticket price. Another new initiative in 2011 was the creation of a formal partnership between AUS and the Red Frogs Australia Chaplaincy Network. The specic purpose of this partnership was to provide risk management services surrounding the social program events at all AUS events. The Red Frogs Crew (as they are affectionately nicknamed) has been working in universities since 1997 and can be found in 130+ student residential colleges spanning across 24 universities in Australia. The Red Frogs Crew provided participants across all AUS multi sport events with hydration stations and snacks at a marquee set up each night alongside the social program venues. They also operated a 1300 number that students could call to request a walk home service to escort them home safely or to get assistance in the event that they or their friends required assistance to get home safely. Red Frogs also took part in the breakfast event that was held on the Tuesday of AUG were they did a pancake cook up to compliment the Ice Break sampling at the Transit Centre Games transport hub.

WORLD UNIVERSITY SUmmER GAmES

The 26th Summer Universiade in Shenzhen, China represented Australias 20th appearance at the event. The 2011 team continued to build on the successes of the past with the 215 strong delegation representing the largest team ever sent. Australias participation in 16 of the 23 sports on offer contributed to this countrys largest ever international university team being assembled to compete in a FISU sanctioned event. The Australian delegation of 148 athletes and 67 ofcials included a total of 20 Olympians and 22 Commonwealth Games athletes and returned home with this countrys largest ever medal haul from a universiade event. The ve gold medals won were also equal to the greatest number won at a Universiade. Along with the competitive success of the team, there were a number of signicant cultural and branding exercises undertaken to establish the standing of the AUS high performance program and its international teams in the greater Australian sporting landscape and to develop a continued culture of success for the future. The 2011 Australian Summer Universiade team were the rst to compete under the new AUS international team identity of Australian Uniroos which will carry forward and be the name used for all international teams at future Summer and Winter Universiades as well as World University Championship events. To coincide with and assist in the development of this identity, a new logo, team colours (a return to the green and gold with the colour codes specically developed for our teams), team values and team mission were implemented. The We Are Australia catch line of the Australian Uniroos team values was adopted on all team uniforms and the majority of collateral to reinforce the values associated with being a member of an Australian Uniroos team. Behind the scenes, another signicant achievement for the 2011 Australian Summer Universiade team included the engagement and inclusion of a number of new sports including cycling and rhythmic gymnastics, as well as the re-introduction of some sports such as fencing and mens artistic gymnastics that had not been a part of an Australian team for a number years. Other Australian achievements of note at the 2011 Summer Universiade include: A fourth medal running for the womens basketball team. The first time that any Australian senior volleyball team had finished above the United States in an international competition. The achievement of a top ten result in 11 of the 16 sports entered. Representation of at least one athlete from 32 of the 41 universities that make up the AUS membership.

The 2011 Summer Universiade should be viewed as another successful cycle in the history of university sport in Australia. With continued competitive success combining with acknowledgment in the wider Australian sporting community, the future continues to look bright for the program and the 2013 Kazan Universiade provides a further opportunity to build on this success.

AUSTRALIAS pERFORMANCE
The 2011 Summer Universiade team achieved its highest ever medal haul in Shenzhen whilst equalling the largest ever number of gold medals won by an Australian team.

WORLD UNIVERSITY WINTER GAmES

The 26th Winter Universiade in Erzurum, Turkey represented an 11th appearance by an Australian team at the event. An 18 member delegation represented our country with pride and distinction and whilst the elusive rst ever winter medal remained unclaimed for another cycle, the efforts of all concerned could not be faulted. The 2011 universiade witnessed the introduction of a rst ever Australian international university biathlon team and the re-introduction of speed skating after a long hiatus from the program. The 2011 Winter Universiade was the largest ever held in terms of participation numbers and represented the fourth largest delegation ever sent by Australia (18).

Combined with temperatures that plunged to around -30 degrees Celsius there was considerable stress placed not only on the athletes but the team in general with a number of illnesses; including u, altitude sickness and pleurisy. Unlike previous recent Winter Universiade events, the 2011 version had the distinct advantage to all involved in that the location of the race venues to the athletes village was minimal. Three resort hubs (Kandilli Ski Resort, Kanakli Alpine Skiing Venue and Palandoekn Ski Resort) along with a number of city centre venues were utilised to conduct all sports throughout the 2011 Winter Universiade, the furthest of which (Kandilli) was only 36km from the city centre location of the athlete village.

OCEANIA UNIVERSITY SPORTS ASSOCIATION (OUSA)

The growth and development of OUSA has been remarkable in 2011. AUS has played and integral role in the process, here are a few highlights.

Sport
The 25th Winter Universiade in Erzurum Turkey saw the OUSA members represented by two NUSF (Australia and New Zealand) with an all up participation total of 24 athletes and ofcials (15 athletes) although neither country made the podium this time around.

Supporters

The 2011 Australian University Championship Triathlon was held as a category within The Kingscliff Triathlon. A new event on the Triathlon race calendar, the Kingcliff Triathlon is a boutique event and in 2011 was conducted using an open water swim. Held on 11 September the event saw only a small number (17) of university participants choose to compete in the university championship category. Despite the small numbers, enough team entries were received from local members to award Grifth University the overall champion pennant. For the second year in a row, the 2011 Australian University Championship Distance Running was held as a category within the Sydney Running Festival. The ability to engage with a premier running festival such as this event, provides the opportunity for participants to take part in either the marathon, half marathon or 9 km run. This year the championship attracted 263 paticipants representing 24 universities across the three distances. The overall winning university was The University of Sydney. Every second year, when the AUG is held on the Gold Coast, the Australian Universtiy Championship Rowing is held as a stand alone championship. In 2011 the championships were held at Australias premier rowing venue, Sydney International Regatta Centre. Held from 26-30 September, 223 rowers from 15 universtiy boat clubs competed in testing conditions across all races. Inclement weather saw a number of races cancelled on the nal day however the weather did not damped the spirits of participants.
