WAIS 2022 Individual Athlete Program Scholarship Selection Process
 |
|
The Western Australian Institute of Sport (WAIS) would like to acknowledge the unusual circumstances surrounding the 2022 Individual Athlete Program (IAP) scholarship selection process, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
With most international and domestic competition cancelled or significantly modified for 2020 and 2021, athletes may have had limited opportunity to register results that WAIS could use to assess scholarship applications. With this in mind, WAIS may be limited in its ability to select/deselect athletes based on this aspect of the selection policy.
The application form requests athlete’s submit competition results and rankings for 2020 and 2021. WAIS will confer with National Sporting Organisations to verify the information submitted by applicants and assist in the assessment of an athlete’s potential to progress.
Enquiries relating to the IAP selection policy and process should be directed to Laura Piromalli, Performance Services Program Manager
lpiormalli@wais.org.au or 08 9387 8166.

From Saturday, 5 December 2020 the Western Australian Government will be implementing a stringent COVID-19 contact tracing procedure. This is in line with the State’s relaxation of the hard border policy.
Selected businesses and venues are required to keep a contact register of ALL visitors. This includes indoor sporting centres, entertainment venues and community facilities. Equestrian WA has sought clarification on equestrian venues and have been advised that most facilities will be required to participate in the mandatory “SafeWA” QR contract tracing register.
The same hygiene, social distancing and COVID Safety Plan measures remain in place for all venues. We have again reviewed and updated the following documents to support the gradual restart of the equestrian activities in WA.
