To obtain TASS funding you must be nominated by your National Governing Body of sport.
TASS athletes have a Service Level Agreement from their respective governing body of sport which enables them to access a range of services such as coaching, sports science, sports medicine and strength and conditioning. You may also receive support with competition and training expenses.
Athletes also receive mentored support to assist them with the demands of training, competition, study and other life skills. Talented Athlete Lifestyle Support (TALS) provides athletes with support and skills needed in focussed workshops and individual sessions.
