NETBALL NSW 2010 ANNUAL REPORT2

Heading to go here

Baulkham Hills player Alex Walsh lines up a shot at goal.

Mission StatementNetball NSW will provide to the NSW community sporting leadership and partnership

through netball education and training programs, an extensive range of competitions and

national success. It will be achieved through professional management and support to all

administrative levels involved with the game so that these entities are financially viable.

NETBALL NSW 2010 ANNUAL REPORT 3

President’s ReportThe year that was 2010 saw Netball NSW cementing its position as a very solid, major

sporting organisation both on and off the court, and in all facets of our organisation.

We saw people wanting to be a part of the Netball family whether it was through

general membership, which grew by 3% overall, or through the NSW Swifts membership

program which is continuing to outstrip our expectations year on year, or through the

corporate world who also wanted to be associated with Netball NSW and the NSW

Swifts.

This growth has allowed us to sustain the programs that our membership needs through

our volunteers and professional staff. Our Regional Coordinators have provided great

support thus far to regional NSW and it is anticipated that this area of our organisation

will continue to grow. We are constantly challenged in the area of Governance as we

grow and strengthen and this will be an area where the Association will need to be

progressive if we are to remain as one of the leading edge sports in NSW.

The Association has consolidated its financial position with prudent management

decisions that provides a solid base for our day-to-day operations and gives us the

impetus to be able to pursue our dream of a Centre of Excellence for Netball in NSW

without impinging on the membership. This remains a priority of the Board.

The wonderful skills of our players whether they are at the District level or at the elite

level have been showcased through the many events of Netball NSW – from our iconic

State and State-Age Championships, our DOOLEYS State League led by the Waratah Cup,

our Regional State League to our Australian Netball League Waratahs and Blues teams

to the magnificent NSW Swifts on the ANZ Championship court; we even dipped our toe

into the Masters Arena; all have been wonderful events supported by the tremendous

efforts of our professional staff and District volunteer personnel alike – Netball is about

“team”, and there is no better evidence of this than in this area where our professional

staff, our players, our coaches, our umpires, our officials, our volunteers, our members

all come together to achieve mightily. Our grateful thanks are extended to all who make

these things possible.

We are very proud of those of our members who have represented at the Australian

level during the year and we acknowledge Catherine Cox, Susan Pratley, Rebecca

Bulley, Kimberlee Green, Mo’onia Gerrard, April Letton, Ashleigh Brazill, Erin Bell, Sean

Mungovan, Sharon Kelly, Rachel Ayre and Lynn Quinn. We had very strong showings at

the National Championships with our 21’s crowned National Champions, our 19’s and 17’s

Runners Up and many of our athletes taken into national squads and programs.

I would like to particularly acknowledge our Hall of Fame inductees - Catriona

Wagg OAM and Dorothy McHugh OAM, our Anne Clark Service Award holders for

2010 – Margaret Nolan, Ellen Monaghan, June Backshall, Shirley O’Brien and Kate

Thornborough, and the incomparable Annie Sargeant OAM who received Life

Membership to our organisation. Australian Honours for Lynn Quinn OAM acknowledged

a significant contribution to our sport. Australian honours, via the Netball Australia Hall

of Fame were bestowed on Dorothy McHugh OAM, Maureen Boyle OAM, Keeley Devery

OAM and Carissa Tombs OAM.

Particular acknowledgement is given to our corporate suite of sponsors and partners

who again have shown their very strong commitment to Netball -Holden GM, DOOLEYS

Catholic Club, Court Craft Plexipave, The Oncology Children’s Foundation, the Sydney

Swans, Sydney Olympic Park Authority, NSWIS, NSW Sport & Recreation, ANZ Bank,

Cartridge World NSW, Winston Hills Mall, Kurrajong Kitchen, SKINS, Printhie Wines,

Interior InStyle, Fosters, Mitre, Victor Sports, Aspire Design + Printing, The Edge

in Hair, ASP Sports, Coast 2 Coast Sports and in particular to – QBE Australia as

principal partner for the NSW Swifts.

At a national level much work has been done by our coaches, umpires, bench personnel,

administrators and professional staff with our colleagues around the country, through

Netball Australia and our sister organisations in each State and Territory, to ensure the

ongoing strength of our sport.

I express my thanks to the Board and Staff for their diligence, dedication and support

over the past 12 months in ensuring that Netball NSW is in a great position to meet the

challenges of a modern sporting organisation.

I am excited by what lays ahead for Netball NSW in 2011 and I invite you all to be a part

of our journey. I look forward to seeing you around the courts.

In reviewing the strategic goals for 2010, the Board can report progress against most

of our plans but with several objectives requiring our continued focus and action as we

move into 2011.

Audit & Risk Committee

Survey for all non-renewing members in 2010 – this will occur in February/March

2011 to attempt to capture those members who did not renew in 2010 and identify

what we initially will attract and retain members into the future

List of all in-house requirements for affiliation – checklist be developed for posting

on NNSW website – policy review timetable developed with a two-year rolling

review of all policies to be undertaken with appropriate advice to members where

changes are made as a result of the review

Review NNSW website to ensure ease of use for administration purposes – new

website design launched in 2010

Strategic Development

On-line learning tools available to all members for basic courses for coaching,

umpiring and technical areas – umpiring and coaching well placed for

implementation in 2011.

Re-development of Anne Clark Centre - continuing

Finalise new structure for administration/Board and have adopted by Council in

November 2010 – Not achieved

Need to ensure that all sub-committees operate at the strategic levels, setting

goals and recommending to the Board for action by personnel and committees

as appropriate – implementation of Strategic Objectives for all committees in 2011

will commence for the Board in January 2011 and for elected committees after the

March AGM

Volunteer Education

Ensure NMAS training has been provided at least once to every District Association

by end 2010 - continuing

Continue education program on positive benefits of MPP to all District Associations

– continuing

Undertake training for national accreditation for timers and scorers and continue

training under NSW Approval course – completed

Ensure the preparation of job descriptions for key volunteer positions in NNSW and

District Associations – strategic objective for Committee in 2011

Assist District Associations to review and develop constitutions – continuing

Delivery of Technical Services

Review proposals from umpiring, coaching and bench for 2010 – will it deliver

what the organisation needs?

Mid-year review of how programs/courses have progressed and develop strategy

for 2011 program requirements

Evaluation of 2010 and final planning for 2011

The Board has conducted ongoing reviews of the performance of its Board Sub

Committees with much work done under the banner of strategic development – the

level at which the Board is aspiring to operate. As such, both the sub-committees

themselves and some of the 2011 objectives have been realigned to best fit with the

operational plans for the Association. We are hoping for a very high level of delivery

against our 2011-2015 Strategic Plan.

Strategic Objectives 2011

Overall, the Board has taken responsibility:

to provide opportunities and resources that support active growth, participation

and progressive improvement in the quality experience that is netball for all

participants;

to ensure the organisation’s business is conducted in a way that sustains and

renews the game’s unique culture, promoting the high performance and elite

players as an integral part of the wider netball community and exemplifying the

highest ideals of our community. To represent Netball NSW at the national level,

providing leadership amongst the states to influence the actions and positions

taken by Netball Australia across the range of programs and initiatives being

supported and undertaken

Strategic Development & Corporate Communications

Develop and implement strategies for the development and growth for all levels

of the game across NSW and play a leading role in guiding the game overall and

at state and national level

Guide, manage and support staff directly responsible for all teams representing

NNSW to ensure sustained success at all elite levels

Manage continuous change in the NNSW organisational, administrative and

operational environment

Provide opportunities and resources that support active growth, participation

and progressive improvement in the quality experience that is netball for all

participants

Audit & Risk Board Sub-committee

Manage the business of NNSW to achieve revenue and expense targets,

maximising the delivery of services to all stakeholders

Develop and manage controls to ensure the provision of accurate, timely reporting

on the NNSW’s affairs and ensure that planned actions occur and planned

commitments are met

Provide and plan for risk management of the NNSW’s operations so that all major

risks are identified and mechanisms established to minimise the occurrence of

those risk events, and to ensure that, in the event of an occurrence, their adverse

impact on NNSW is minimised

Volunteer Education

Provide opportunities and resources that support education and development for all

participants, including effective pathways for players, coaches, administrators and

officials.

Competitions

Our NSW teams competing in the national competitions – the ANZ Championship

and Australian Netball League – performed well. For the first time, Netball

NSW Waratahs reached the grand final of the ANL, however were defeated by

Victoria in the final wash up. The success of our redeveloped player pathways

is now becoming clearly evident with Ashleigh Brazill, April Letton and Erin Bell

representing Australia at the FastNet tournament this year and Rebecca Bulley,

Catherine Cox, Mo’onia Gerrard, Kimberlee Green and Susan Pratley all playing

major roles in Australia’s Commonwealth Games campaign in India.

2010 saw the NSW Swifts rise from the ashes of 2010 and finish minor premiers with an

undefeated season, however, whilst the finals did not repeat the season’s results, 2011 is

certainly looking like the year of the NSW Swifts.

The State Age Championships expanded to four venues in 2010: a massive organisational

achievement for staff and volunteers alike. The Hunter Associations of Newcastle,

Maitland, Charlestown and Lakeside all delivered over and above our expectations

whilst at Campbelltown, the State Championships not only showcased a new venue but

also the great standard of netball we have come to expect from our Open and Masters

Players.

Speaking of Masters, 2010 saw the inaugural Netball NSW Masters take place at

the Anne Clark Centre and it was a huge success despite four seasons of weather

over the weekend and a hugely successful dinner function with DOOLEYS on the

Saturday night. This competition has a great future and will fast become one of

NNSW’s showcase events.

Board of Directors’ Report


NSW was again successful at the 2010 National Netball Championships, winning the 21 &

Under Championship, back to back. The 19 & Under and 17 & Under teams both finished

runners up.

Our plans for a new home for Netball NSW remains a focus of the Board with plans,

meetings, consultation and begging involved and who knows, perhaps we are seeing a

light at the end of the funding tunnel. This decision will indeed be assisted by our push

to host the 2015 World Netball Championships in Sydney which is being supported by

Events NSW and Netball Australia.

We finished the 2010 membership year with a total of 109,151 members, comprising

31,246 senior members, 72,532 junior, Netta and Fun Net members registered in 111

District or League Associations. This is a total membership increase of 2,986 on 2009

figures. For the first time, with the assistance of all Districts and the use of NMAS, these

are accurate figures truly reflecting our growing membership.

Our volunteer and playing members continue to be recognised for their contributions to

our sport with Dot McHugh OAM and Catriona Wagg OAM being inducted into our NNSW

Hall of Fame and Maureen Boyle OAM, Carissa Tombs OAM, Keeley Devery OAM and Dot

McHugh OAM all being inducted into the Netball Australia Hall of Fame in 2010.

Operationally, our staff, led by General Manager Carolyn Campbell have met and

exceeded our expectations in many areas. Our congratulations and thanks are extended

to all on behalf of all members.

Development ClinicBroken Hill

NSW Swifts player Sonia Mkoloma conducts a clinic in Broken Hill.


Game Development is a vital component of the netball blueprint in NSW. 2010 was

another successful year highlighted by a healthy increase in membership, excitement

at the grassroots with San Remo NetSetGO!, further advancements in the delivery

and accreditation of coaches and umpires, and the introduction of full-time Regional

Co-ordinators.

The Game Development Team co-ordinated and delivered numerous programs and

events across the state which helped to develop NSW’s netball talent. This included

coaching and umpiring courses, manager’s workshop, development visits and clinics,

mentoring, presenters course, metro squads and numerous camps.

On the Ball e-newsletter

One of the key initiatives launched in 2010 was the On the Ball e-newsletter. Delivered to

the inboxes of more than 9,000 subscribers, On the Ball is a vital communication tool.

Containing topics like “Drill of the Month”, Game Diary, “In the Spotlight” and

much more, On the Ball is a terrific tool for staying up-to-date with all things game

development, as well as an excellent resource for coaches, umpires, players and officials.

San Remo NetSetGO!

San Remo NetSetGO! has once again gone from strength-to-strength in 2010 with 111

accredited centres showcasing the program, up from 64 in 2009. In turn, over 5,000

participants took part in the program, more than double the amount in 2009.

NSW Swifts shooter and San Remo NetSetGO! Ambassador Susan Pratley visited

many Accredited Centres across NSW promoting the program and encouraging young

netballers to get involved.

Game Development Overview

Action from the 15 years development weekend.


It was a weekend of “everything netball” at the Netball NSW Conference.

Over 200 representatives from netball Associations across the state

gathered at the Bankstown Sports Club for a weekend of learning and

networking as some of the brightest netball minds conducted sessions on

coaching, umpiring and administration.

The conference started with a bang when former Silver Ferns coach

Yvonne Willering took to the stage to delight the crowd on excellence

versus success.

The tone had now been set for the rest of the weekend as participants

rotated their way through a range of workshops, including upsetting the

attacking rhythm, reaction training, media, NMAS, creating team culture

and fundraising.

NSW Swifts players Ashleigh Brazill, Catherine Cox, Samantha May,

Kimberley Smith, Vanessa Ware and Amorette Wild were on hand

throughout the weekend, mingling with participants and sharing their

thoughts on the upcoming season.

Rounding out the weekend was a thought-provoking panel discussion,

“State Age – creating a road to success”, facilitated by former Australian

and Swifts representative Alison Broadbent.

NSW Swifts coach Julie Fitzgerald, NSW representative Nikki Deegenaars

and umpire Duncan Lang mesmerised and challenged the audience

with their thoughts, ideas and opinions on State Age across a range of

issues relating to recovery, training, nutrition, strapping and umpire

development.

Netball NSW would like to thank all conference participants for their input

throughout the weekend.

What the participants said

“I came as an umpire interested in seeing what players are being taught

(and hoping to learn some tips). Videos of games and drills were great

to show what was being explaining.”

“I think this is a great course to give new managers and experienced

managers wanting to learn a little more the right information without

overloading them.”

“Fantastic – one of the most practical and useful courses I have

attended. Great to have Maureen and Sharon presenting the course.”

“I learnt so much more and can now understand where we need to

focus in order to support and retain umpires.”

“Informative, interactive and very interesting, engaged audience and

catered for different levels of understanding and size of clubs.”

“Excellent – outlined all those ideas that I haven’t thought of as media

interest worthy topics.”

It has been a busy 12 months for the Netball NSW High Performance Unit.

Comprising of the NSW Swifts, Australian Netball League teams, State teams, NSW

Institute of Sport squads, Regional Academies and high-performance coaches and

officials, the new approach to the management of the unit has seen a more streamlined

method and continued success.

NSW Institute of Sport

A vital part of the Netball NSW player development pathway, the NSWIS program is

divided into three squads: green, silver and gold, catering for over 50 athletes, including

the NSW Swifts who are gold scholarship holders.

The support of the NSW Institute of Sport is critical to the development of high-

performance netballers, with players, including the NSW Swifts, having access to

state-of-the-art performance analysis software and methods, cutting edge training and

recovery techniques, as well as access to some of the best medical professionals and

training facilities.

The NSWIS program, which contains a number of current NSW, ANL and prospective

state representatives, is aimed at improving the individual skills of the athlete said High

Performance coach Anita Keelan who assisted Robert Wright with the program delivery

in 2010.

“We work a lot on the individual skills of the players, trying to improve their individual

game. It’s not necessarily about their match play, it’s about how each girl can develop

their game individually and be the best athlete they can be,” Keelan said.

One of the successes of the NSWIS program is the link between the three squads. The

opportunity for the green and silver scholarship athletes to work with the NSW Swifts

(gold) ensures that they are continually challenged and have positive role models to

learn from.

The NSWIS doesn’t just support the players, they also provide educational development

opportunities for a number of coaches within Netball NSW and the Regional Academy

programs.

Regional Academies

Netball NSW supports 11 Regional Academy programs across the state, nine of which are

regionally based.

The Academies form an important step in the player development pathway, acting as

development squads focusing on improving and developing skills.

Aimed at players aged between 16 and 18 years of age, the academies participate in two

competitions annually: the NIB Games held in July and the Academy Games held in April.

They also have the opportunity to play the curtain-raiser game to NSW Swifts matches.

These match play opportunities are not just vital for the players; they also provide

excellent opportunities for the development of coaches and umpires.

There are numerous educational opportunities available to coaches of Regional

Academies. These opportunities include: coach visits to academy sessions, mentoring

at competitions, invitations to attend open training sessions of other high performance

teams and various workshops.

Moving away from home for the first time in 2009 was a daunting task for

April Letton, but the personal growth that she achieved during this time

set her up for a breakthrough year in 2010.

By her own admission, Letton had a rough start to 2010. She had just

started her second year at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra

and was struggling to find her game and the consistency she needed.

“I moved down to the AIS in Canberra for two years. My first year was a

bit of a shock moving out of home for the first time. It took some time to

adjust,” Letton said.

“But my time at the AIS was something that definitely helped me

improve my strength and fitness, and my game play definitely improved

from that.”

What started out as a shaky year soon turned brighter when April was

named in the NSW 21/U team.

“I’ve played with many of the girls before, but I’ve usually played up in

the higher age groups so I haven’t had many chances to play with girls

my own age,” she said.

The NSW team entered the National Netball Championships as the

defending champions and retained the shield for the third consecutive

year, defeating South Australia 50–39.

Letton was a standout at the championship, named joint winner of the

Most Valuable Player.

“It was awesome. I feel that it was one of my best nationals. It was hard

because we’d just come back from Singapore and I haven’t trained with

the team much, so it was really good to come away with the win,”

Letton said.

“The team had such a good bond off court. In lots of teams you have very

talented players where they may not bond as well but we definitely had

that bond and honesty about things. We could tell each other what we

needed to improve.”

Her development at the AIS and performances at the National Netball

Championships caught the eye of Diamonds coach Norma Plummer who

named her in the young Diamonds FastNet team that travelled to the UK

at the end of 2010.

“It was so exciting when I got named –I couldn’t believe it. Just to read

who else was in that team and to be named with those girls was one of

my career highlights,” she said.

“They say that you should write your goals down and I would never have

picked that that would happen. It was a big shock.”

Letton believes her turnaround came when she started to believe in

herself and her ability.

“This year I was a lot more relaxed and confident in myself. I feel like I’m

maturing more as a player and I think that brings a bit more confidence

as well.”

2010 was a huge year for Amorette Wild, not only did she reach the finals

of four separate competitions, but she was rewarded for her efforts by

being named the 2010 New Idea Australian Netball League (ANL) Player of

the Year.

Standing 178cm tall, Amorette kicked off 2010 by suiting up for the NSW

Swifts in her second year in the ANZ Championship. Taking the court in

four games, Amorette helped the Swifts to an unprecedented undefeated

regular season and the minor premiership.

Following the ANZ Championship season, Amorette turned her attention

to the second-tier national league, the ANL.

The individual ANL accolade capped off an amazing year for Wild, who led

the Netball NSW Waratahs to the ANL Grand Final, the first NSW team to

achieve such a feat.

“When I found out I had won the ANL Player of the Year Award I was a bit

shocked actually, I wasn’t expecting it at all,” Amorette said.

Amorette was presented with her award at the Netball Australia

Awards Night.

“It was a great night. I really enjoyed catching up with people I hadn’t

seen in a while.” Amorette said.

Despite Amorette shooting at 92 percent in the Grand Final, converting 23-

of-25 attempts, the Waratahs fell just short of taking the 2010 ANL crown,

losing to Victorian Fury in the decider. But Amorette and the Waratahs

had already made history, becoming the first NSW team to be crowned

Minor Premiers of the league.

“I think both my season and the team’s season were quite good,

compared to other seasons that we’ve had. We made it through the

grand final which showed we had a good year,” Amorette said.

Amorette also enjoyed success at an Association level in 2010, helping

Sutherland Shire go from fourth place on the ladder to win through to the

Grand Final of the DOOLEYS State League Waratah Cup.

Despite losing to Manly-Warringah in the Waratah Cup decider, the icing

on the cake was still to come for Amorette; in October she captained the

NSW 21/U State Team at the 2010 National Netball Championship, and this

time was able to lead her team all the way to the title.

Year of Success for Wild

The NSW Swifts re-emerged in 2010.

A sea of red transformed every home game,

“Go Swifts” signs were held high, and the

“Swifts” chant that was voiced in unison was

enough to give you goosebumps and give

the NSW Swifts the wings they needed to fly.

The NSW Swifts, who, in true “Rocky Balboa” style after winning the inaugural

premiership in 2008 and then finishing ninth in 2009, re-wrote the history books in

2010 by being the first team in ANZ Championship history to navigate the regular

season unscathed. In the process they notched up 13 consecutive victories, another ANZ

Championship record, on their way to the minor premiership.

The NSW Swifts entered the Finals Series as the favourites and met a rampaging

Adelaide Thunderbirds outfit in the Semi-Final, with the Thunderbirds snapping the

Swifts winning streak and emerging victors, 52–38.

Over 6,928 fans watched the two powerhouses of Australian netball do battle at Acer

Arena. The intensity of this clash had never been seen before on an ANZ Championship

court, with the players putting their bodies on the line in a desperate bid for the

ball. NSW Swifts Captain Catherine Cox was involved in an accidental head clash with

Thunderbirds defender Geva Mentor that resulted in a broken nose and front page news

of the Sydney Morning Herald days later.

The eyes of the netball world then turned their attention to the Newcastle Entertainment

Centre, where the NSW Swifts hosted the Waikato/Bay of Plenty Magic. A capacity

crowd was guaranteed for the game with thousands of netballers and their families in

the Hunter that weekend for the Netball NSW State Age Championships. Unfortunately

for the Swifts, the WBOP Magic conjured up their second ANZ Championship win on

Australian soil, 54–49 to book a place in the decider.

While the ending wasn’t the fairytale they would have liked, 2010 saw the NSW Swifts

return to the top of the table with an unprecedented amount of support both on and off

the court.

With an overflowing Red Zone at each home game, a regular season attendance record

of 6,928 at Acer Arena in Round 7 and a capacity crowd at the Newcastle Entertainment

Centre for the Preliminary Final, the NSW Swifts were the competition benchmark when

it came to their members, fans and match day experience.

Rebecca Bully shone as an outstanding netballer in 2010 and she was

rewarded accordingly – she swept the awards board for the year,

receiving the ANZ Championship Holden Cruz Player of the Year, 2010 QBE

NSW Swifts Most Valued Player and 2010 Members’ Player of the Year.

“I’ve never won anything before so to win a car for the ANZ Championship

Holden Cruz Player of the Year was a big deal! For me, winning these

awards is a real confidence booster. I can sometimes get down on myself

about my netball, so it’s really nice to be recognised in this way,”

Bulley said.

“It was such an honour to receive these awards. However, they are

as much about my teammates as they are about me. Playing with a

great combination and with such fantastic teammates was pivotal to

my performance. If your teammates aren’t performing well, you can’t

perform at your best – it is a team effort.”

The NSW Swifts blazed through the 2010 ANZ Championship season

undefeated – the first team ever to do so in the history of the

competition. The minor premiers entered the finals series on a high,

and then, disappointingly, missed opportunities meant that they didn’t

qualify for the Grand Final.

“The Swifts had a great season,” said Bulley. “There were a lot of close

games throughout 2010 and it was great to be able to finish them off

and come through with a win. It was fantastic to go through the regular

season undefeated.”

Bulley’s season was topped off with selection in Australia’s

Commonwealth Games team. This was her first appearance at a

Commonwealth Games with the netball competition providing one of the

most epic gold medal games in history.

“Being selected to represent Australia at the Commonwealth Games was

a dream of mine, so it was great to be there. I was on the bench for the

first 60 minutes of ‘that game’ and it was such an exciting game to watch

with the scores coming back to level. I wasn’t expecting to go on so when

I did it was a big shock but I was so pleased to get the opportunity. In the

end, the score could have gone either way and someone had to win, it

was just disappointing that it wasn’t us.”

High quality events and competitions are a signature of Netball NSW. From hosting

NSW Swifts home games and ANL fixtures to the marquee events of Holden State

Championships and State Age Championships and Netball NSW’s night of nights, the

State Dinner, the calendar has something for everyone.

Sydney Olympic Park Netball Cup

Netball NSW once again hosted the Sydney Olympic Park Netball Cup, the official

pre-season tournament of the ANZ Championship in March at the Sydney Olympic Park

Sports Centre.

Seven of the ten ANZ Championship teams attended the event, with some of the biggest

names of international netball taking the court, including Kimberlee Green, Romelda

Aiken, Mo’onia Gerrard, Renae Hallinan, Madison Browne, Geva Mentor, Sonia Mkoloma,

Katrina Grant and Liana Barrett-Chase.

The three-day event saw the NSW Swifts pitted against the Melbourne Vixens,

Queensland Firebirds, Adelaide Thunderbirds, West Coast Fever, Central Pulse and

Southern Steel. The on-court action was scintillating, giving fans a taste of what they

could expect when the season proper started.

At the end of the event, the Queensland Firebirds were crowned the winners,

going through the tournament undefeated. But it was the nail-biting final game of

competition between the NSW Swifts and Adelaide Thunderbirds that brought the crowd

to their feet and set the scene for an exciting season.

Netball NSW State Dinner

The 2010 netball season culminated on a balmy November evening in a spectacular

celebration at the 2010 Netball NSW State Dinner.

The who’s who of netball in NSW gathered at the Grand Ballroom in the Bankstown

Sports Club to recognise the achievements of past and current players, officials, coaches

and administrators and celebrate the future of the sport.

There were a number of highlights throughout the night as the awards were announced

including the 2010 Marilyn Melhuish NSW Swifts Player of the Year, the Marj Groves

Scholarship, Anne Clark Service Awards, the Judy Dunbar Media Awards and the

induction of two legends into the Hall of Fame.

Hosted by Anne Sargeant OAM, the night also honoured the 2010 State Teams, ANL

teams, NSW Swifts and Commonwealth Games representatives.

NSW Swifts High Tea

The NSW Swifts High Tea, held at the Crowne Plaza, Norwest, in June was an event that

was introduced onto the netball calendar in 2010.

Guests were treated to an intimate, relaxing afternoon with the NSW Swifts as they

enjoyed fabulous food, a selection of teas, scrumptious desserts and other delectable

sweet treats.

A drawcard for guests was the chance to sit and enjoy a cup of tea with NSW Swifts

players as they rotated around the tables talking to everyone. However, it wasn’t just the

food, the selection of tea or the chance to chat to the Swifts that kept everyone engaged,

but also the opportunity to have their tea leaves read by fortune tellers.

There was an overwhelming response from all that attended including: “It was a

great day, great food, great tea and great company” and “we can’t wait to come back

next year!”

The 2010 DOOLEYS State League competition was one

of the most hotly contested in years.

Seventy-six teams took to the courts at the Anne

Clark Centre playing 18 rounds with the top four teams

progressing through to a three week Finals Series.

In the Waratah Cup Grand Final, Manly-Warringah

was too strong for arch-rival Sutherland Shire, defeating them by 13 goals, 58–45, in a

ferocious on-court battle that was played in front of a vocal crowd.

Sutherland Shire also featured in the Division Two Grand Final but was pipped at the post

by Blue Mountains, 60–44. While in Division Three, four goals were all that separated

Eastwood Ryde and Campbelltown City, with Eastwood Ryde emerging victors 51–47.

Ku-ring-gai emerged victorious in Division Four, defeating Baulkham Hills 47–32, but in

Division Five it was Baulkham Hills who came from behind in the final quarter to defeat

Eastwood Ryde 56–53.

Divisions Six and Seven saw come from behind victories, with Sutherland Shire

overcoming a six-goal deficit, 50–44 in Division Six to defeat Randwick. Penrith turned

the tables on Sutherland Shire 53–40 in Division Seven.

Division Eight was another nail-biter with Penrith City holding off a courageous

Hawkesbury in the dying minutes to record a five-goal victory, 47–42 and claim the title.

Regional State League provides an essential platform for Associations based in regional

New South Wales to experience the highest level of competition in their region.

A home and away format is utilised in all regions except West/Central West, where all

games are played in Orange.

The value of Regional State League lies in its ability to bring together teams from

different areas in high-level competition, giving players the opportunity to play against

teams they may not normally get to face until State Championships.

Regional State League remains an important part of player, coach and umpire pathways,

preparing athletes for further competition and representative honours.

The success and popularity of the masters divisions at the Holden State Championships

heralded the introduction of the Netball NSW Masters Event in October.

The inaugural event saw many familiar faces from the Holden State Championships

suiting up again across three age divisions: Over 35 (Competitive), Over 35 (Social), Over

40 and Over 45.

The 240 players battled the elements on the first day, but all with a smile on their faces,

before dancing up a storm at the Social Event on the Saturday night, despite some tired

bodies.

Over two days, 24 teams competed in a round robin format, and while the winners

walked away with medals around their necks, all involved had a terrific time and some

even wanted to go another round.

What the participants said

“It’s nice to have a weekend for ourselves at netball, and not running the competition

itself.”

“I feel a bit like an Olympian biting my gold medal.”

After two days of play: “Let’s go another game … these old legs still have some juice

left!”

In 2010 the Night Interdistrict Competition was once

again sponsored by Court Craft.

Commencing on Wednesday, 6 October 2010, the

competition wrapped up after 10 rounds and over 300

games on Wednesday, 8 December, when the winners

of each division were crowned.

There was a terrific turn out on the final night, with teams cheered on by friends and

family in the last round. NSW Swifts Goal Attack Susan Pratley was on hand to present

the trophies and patches to the Premiers and Runners Up in each division.

The competition continues to play an essential part in the development of players, coaches

and umpires as an important step on the pathway to the elite level.

Dorothy McHugh OAMDorothy first became involved in netball as a player in the early 1940s. Unfortunately,

injury prevented her from following that path but it steered her in another direction

as she became involved in the administrative side of netball and also in umpiring,

earning her All Australian Umpires Award at the National Tournament in 1957.

Dorothy was introduced to netball administration at Association level and went on

to hold a number of executive positions for the state including NSW Vice President

in 1953, Secretary from 1954–1960, Insurance Officer 1961–62, Treasurer in 1963 and

Umpires Convenor in 1965 and 1968. In recognition of her service, she was awarded

with Life Membership of Netball NSW in 1970.

Dorothy also served as NSW Delegate to the All Australia Netball Association (known

now as Netball Australia) for many years; 1954–1959 and 1966–1989 and also served

on many AANA Committees.

In recognition of her contribution to the sport at the national level, Dorothy was

presented with the Netball Australia Service Award in 1974.

In the years following, Dorothy had the honour of representing Australia as a

Delegate at the International Federation of Netball Associations Councils at the World

Tournaments in 1975, 1979, 1983 and 1987.

Her international representation did not end there, after the 1987 World Tournament

in Scotland she was appointed as General Secretary of IFNA, a position she held until

1991.

In 1995, Dorothy became the first NSW member to receive the prestigious IFNA Service

Award.

Catriona Wagg OAMCatriona is well known as one of the greatest attacking players for NSW and Australia.

Her first taste of representative netball came through Ku-ring-gai Netball Association,

and she quickly graduated to state teams, national leagues and national teams during

her 12 years of elite netball.

In 1986, Catriona made her state representative debut for the NSW 19 & Under team and

NSW 21 & Under team in the same year.

She was a prominent member of the NSW Open Team that dominated the late 80s and

early 90s; she joined the team in 1989 and the side reigned as national championships

until 1994 – the Golden Boot Era of netball.

Catriona made her international debut at the 1990 Commonwealth Games at age 22,

going on to win a gold medal.

The highlight of Catriona’s international career came in 1991 as part of the Australian

Team which defeated New Zealand by one goal in the thrilling World Championships in

Sydney; the players were rewarded with an Order of Australia medal for their efforts.

Catriona underwent a knee reconstruction in 1996 but returned to the court in 1997

to captain the Sydney Swifts in the Commonwealth Bank Trophy and toured with the

Australian team. She wrapped up her on-court career in 1998 after 41 appearances in the

green and gold and 49 games for the Swifts.

In retirement the accolades continued for Catriona; she was presented with an Australian

Sports Medal in 2000 for her contribution to netball and in 2010 was inducted into the

NSW Hall of Champions.

Netball NSW launched its Alumni Program in 2010 with the goal of

identifying and acknowledging over 750 former state team and national

league-level players, coaches, managers, umpires and medical staff.

Netball NSW recognised that once an individual retired from the top level,

their knowledge and experience was often lost to the sport. In an effort to

bring this knowledge and experience back to netball, the Alumni Program

was created.

The Netball NSW Alumni program began with a survey of approximately

100 potential Alumni to discover if the program would be welcomed,

what they would like it to involve and the benefits they would like to see

from their participation in the program.

Three events were held in 2010 for NNSW Alumni members. These

exclusive functions were often the first time former teammates had seen

each other in decades and were a great success. The 25-year reunion

reunited teammates who represented NSW in 1985 and the 10-year

reunion was an opportunity for those who represented NSW in 2000 to

gather and reminisce. The two reunions were held together at a pre-

match function in Acer Arena prior to the NSW Swifts v Melbourne Vixens

match. In addition to the two reunions, an annual function was held for

Alumni for the first time. The Annual Alumni Event invited all former NSW

representatives to enjoy a pre-match catered function, and to watch the

NSW Swifts v Waikato/Bay of Plenty Magic.

In addition to events, dinners, reunions and other functions which served

to put old teammates and friends back in touch with one another, the

twice-yearly Alumni Magazine was produced. This magazine became a

key communication tool for Netball NSW to reach the Alumni they already

knew about, but also to begin the process of tracking down past players

who have lost touch with Netball NSW. The first edition was delivered

to 500 Alumni and Netball NSW expects that each issue will be received

by more Alumni as the word of the program spreads. In addition to

communicating the goals of the Alumni Program, the magazine reports

on current netball news such as State Age, NSW teams, ANL teams and

the NSW Swifts. It also serves as a portal into the past with features on

teams from the past, “where are they now” exposés and netball history.

Netball NSW and the NSW Swifts are proud to have a dedicated suite of corporate partners.

These partners are integral members of the Netball NSW and NSW Swifts family.

Our thanks are extended to our partners for their support of netball at all levels throughout 2010.

Court Craft has been sponsoring netball and Netball NSW longer than any

other partner. The company has been associated with netball for over

18 years as a partner and has been building and resurfacing the courts

we play on for decades. In fact, Court Craft has built or resurfaced 3,000

sporting courts over the years, including innumerable netball courts.

Court Craft has been the partner of the Night Interdistrict competition for

more than 10 years and previous to that, the company sponsored State

Age. Director John Loughlin is proud of the long-standing relationship his

company has with netball.

“I’m proud to be supporting women’s sport and netball is such a high

quality product. On a personal level, I like to support netball because I

love it. I follow a lot of sports and I feel that netball is the best court-

based sport there is to watch. It has a high level of speed and skill and the

fact that it has girls playing at that top level is fantastic. In my opinion,

netball is better than anything else out there.”

A sport sponsorship is a mutually beneficial arrangement and Court Craft

enjoys the relationships it is able to build through its association with

Netball NSW.

“While I like to watch netball, I also like the kinds of organisations that

make up netball – the committees and clubs are good organisations to

deal with at every level. Because I build netball courts, it is beneficial to

my business but being a sponsor is good for me because it means giving

something back to the netball community. While I do a lot of work with

netball, it is also a good sport to sponsor as Netball NSW supports their

supporters and that means a lot to me.”

An avid supporter of the NSW Swifts, 2010 had its ups and downs for John

Loughlin. A highlight was the sponsors’ event held at a NSW Swifts home

game and getting to meet other sponsors and watch the Swifts play.

“Unfortunately we didn’t win the competition but I was extremely proud

of the Swifts going through to the finals undefeated. For Court Craft itself

in 2010, we completed a large project building netball courts at Manly;

that was really excellent.”

In 2011, Court Craft will not only continue its sponsorship of the Night

Interdistrict competition but the company is also looking forward to its

ongoing sponsorship of individual teams and watching its netballers play

great sport.

The Commonwealth Games gold medal match between the Diamonds

and Silver Ferns will go down in history as one of the most exciting and

nail-biting sporting contests ever witnessed.

The double extra-time game was seen by millions of people around the

Commonwealth and made netball a talking point in the media, at the

dinner table and in the office around the country.

NSW had a strong presence at the Commonwealth Games with NSW

Swifts players Catherine Cox, Kimberlee Green, Susan Pratley and Rebecca

Bulley, NSW junior Mo’onia Gerrard and NSW Swifts physiotherapist Sean

Mungovan selected as part of the “Delhi Dozen” that came home with a

silver medal around their necks. They were joined by Sharon Kelly and

Rachael Ayre who were appointed to officiate at the games and Lynn

Quinn who was a bench referee.

Despite the Silver Ferns getting the edge over the Australians in Delhi,

the double extra-time game proved just how close the two nations are in

netball at the highest level.

Across all the finals Australia and New Zealand have played at World

Championships and Commonwealth Games, only two goals separate the

teams after eight clashes with Australia leading the way 402–400. But in

all matches played between the two at these competitions, including pool

play, they are locked at 713 goals.

New Zealand’s 66–64 double extra-time win is the first time the Silver

Ferns have ever defended a major international title and they are

enjoying their most successful period in a number of years. They have

now won three of the past four major international netball events;

2003 World Championship, 2006 Commonwealth Games and 2010

Commonwealth Games.

The Diamonds will now look ahead to the 2011 World Netball

Championships to be held in Singapore in July, where they will be aiming

to defend their title.

* Reflects the number of meetings held during the time the director held office during the year.

3. Principal activities

The principal activities of the Company during the course of the financial year were to administer the sport of netball throughout New South Wales.

There were no significant changes in the nature of the activities of the Company during the year.

Company performance is constantly measured against:� Demographic analysis of participation numbers, potential players, and lost players;� Reporting against funded projects from external stakeholders;� Delivery of programs to enhance retention and recruitment of players and volunteers throughout regional

and metropolitan NSW;� Feedback from member associations and other key stakeholders, and� Budgets.

4. Operating and financial review

The profit from ordinary activities after tax for the year amounted to $286,581 compared with $405,258 for the prior year. The decline in profitability from ordinary activities was largely as a result of an additional $1 per member charged by Netball Australia, which had not been factored into current year membership pricing. As a result, an additional $109,151 was incurred in the current year (the matter is under contest). Revenue from capitation fees amounted to $3,671,095 compared with $3,491,546 for the prior year. The increase in capitation fee revenue is largely due to increased membership numbers.The Company’s long term objectives are to promote, encourage and control the Game of Netball from the junior to elite levels throughout New South Wales and to generally take such action as may considered conducive in the best interests of the game.



4. Operating financial review (continued)

In order to ensure the long term objectives are being met, the Company will:� Organise, conduct, and develop competitions within New South Wales from junior to elite levels;� Promote competition matches between affiliated associations and to institute, regulate and control all

championship competition between those affiliated associations.� Select and manage netball teams to represent New South Wales in matches against teams representing

other States and Territories of Australia and outside Australia.� Affiliate with and support the All-Australia Netball Association or such other organisation as shall from

time to time exist for the promotion, regulation and control of netball throughout Australia.

The Company’s short term objectives are to increase participation numbers at Junior through to elite levels of the game throughout NSW. We aim to provide a link into elite pathways of the sport, and to create and implement programs which will enhance the education of all participants, thus ensuring the sustainability and growth of the sport.

In order to ensure the short term objectives are met, the Company will:� Provide opportunities for regular feedback from District personnel to Netball NSW to support and

enhance membership promotions.� Review current member needs and document requirements.� Develop additional supporting competitions.� Develop a sporting program and associated marketing campaign to introduce young children to become

current and future players and supporters.� Measure and monitor performance at all levels against agreed targets and goals.� Conduct a review of the delivery of coaching, and umpiring programs and player pathways.� Continually update and align operations at all levels with regulatory controls.

5. Significant changes in the state of affairs

In the opinion of the directors there were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the Company that occurred during the financial year under review.

6. Dividends

The Company is a non-profit organisation and is prevented by its constitution from paying dividends.

7. Environmental regulation

The Company’s operations are not subject to any significant environmental regulations under either Commonwealth or State legislation.

8. Events subsequent to reporting date

There has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely, in the opinion of the directors of the Company, to affect significantly the operations of the Company, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Company, in future financial years.



9. Likely developments

The directors do not anticipate any other particular development in the operations of the Company which will affect the result in subsequent years.

10. Indemnification and insurance of officers

The Company has provided for and paid premiums during the year for directors’ and officers’ liability and legal expenses insurance contracts.

The insurance premiums relate to:

� Costs and expenses incurred by the relevant officers in defending proceedings, whether civil or criminal and whatever their outcome.

� Other liabilities that may arise from their position, with the exception of conduct involving a wilful breach of duty or improper use of information or position to gain a personal advantage.

The directors have not included details of the nature of the liabilities covered and the amount of the premium paid in respect of the directors’ and officers’ liability and legal expenses insurance contracts, as such disclosure is prohibited under the terms of the contract.

The Company is incorporated and domiciled in Australia as a Company limited by guarantee. In accordance with the Constitution of the Company, every member of the Company undertakes to contribute an amount limited to $10 per member in the event of the winding up of the Company during the time that he or she is a member or within one year thereafter. At 31 December 2010 there were 109,151 members (2009: 106,166 members).

The New South Wales Netball Association LimitedNotes to the financial statements

1. Reporting entity

The New South Wales Netball Association Limited (the “Company”) is a company domiciled in Australia.

2. Basis of preparation

(a) Statement of compliance

The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) (including Australian Accounting Interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. The financial report of the Company does not comply with the IFRSs and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board as the Company has adopted the exemptions allowed for not-for-profit organisations under AASB101 “Presentation of Financial Statements”.

The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 15 February 2011.

(b) Basis of measurement

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

(c) Functional and presentation currency

These financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.

(d) Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

3. Significant accounting policies

A number of Accounting Standards and amendments with application dates commencing subsequent to year end were available for adoption. The Company plans to adopt these Accounting Standards and amendments in future financial years. The quantification of the initial impact of new standards and amendments issued but not yet adopted is not known or reasonably estimable in the current financial year as an exercise to quantify the financial impact has not yet been undertaken by the Company to date. The impact of these new standards and amendments will be assessed prior to their operative date.

(a) Property, plant and equipment

(i) Owned assetsItems of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation (see below) and impairment losses (see accounting policy (e)).Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment.

(ii) Leased assetsLeases in terms of which the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards ofownership are classified as finance leases. Other leases are classified as operating leases.


The New South Wales Netball Association LimitedNotes to the financial statements (continued)

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(a) Property, plant and equipment (continued)

(iii) Subsequent costsThe Company recognises in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other costs are recognised in the income statement as an expense as incurred.

(iv) DepreciationDepreciation is charged to the income statement on a diminishing value basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment. The estimated useful lives in the current and comparative periods are as follows:

2010 2009

Buildings 20 years 20 yearsBuilding extensions 20 years 20 yearsOffice extensions 20 years 20 yearsFurniture and fittings 5-11 years 5-11 yearsEquipment 3-11years 3-11yearsMotor vehicles 4 years 4 yearsWebsite development and software 4 years 4 years

The residual value, if not insignificant, is reassessed annually.

(b) Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are stated at their cost less impairment losses (see accounting policy (e(i))).

(c) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.




(d) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash balances and call deposits.

(e) Impairment

The carrying amounts of the Company’s assets, other than inventories (see accounting policy (c)), are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated (see accounting policy (e(i))).

An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement, unless an asset has previously been revalued, in which case the impairment loss is recognised as a reversal to the extent of that previous revaluation with any excess recognised through profit or loss.

Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to cash-generating units (group of units) and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.

(i) Calculation of recoverable amountThe recoverable amount of the Company’s investments in receivables carried at amortised cost is calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate (i.e., the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition of these financial assets). Receivables with a short duration are not discounted.

The recoverable amount of other assets is the greater of their fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

(ii) Reversals of impairmentAn impairment loss in respect of a receivable carried at amortised cost is reversed if the subsequent increase in recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised.

An impairment loss in respect of other assets is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.

An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.




(f) Employee benefits

(i) Defined contribution plansObligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the income statement as incurred.

(ii) Long-term service benefitsThe Company’s net obligation in respect of long-term service benefits, other than pension plans, is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. The obligation is calculated using expected future increases in wage and salary rates including related on-costs and expected settlement dates, and is discounted using the rates attached to the Commonwealth Government bonds at the balance sheet date which have maturity dates approximating to the terms of the Company’s obligations.

(iii) Wages, salaries, annual leave, sick leave and non-monetary benefitsLiabilities for employee benefits for wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave that are expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date represent present obligations resulting from employees’ services provided to reporting date, are calculated at undiscounted amounts based on remuneration wage and salary rates that the Company expects to pay as at reporting date including related on-costs, such as workers compensation insurance and payroll tax.

(g) Trade and other payablesTrade and other payables are stated at cost.

(h) Revenue

Sale of goods Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates. Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, and there is no continuing management involvement with the goods.

Rendering of servicesRendering of services revenue represents revenue earned from the Company’s trading activities, including membership, sponsorship, funding and gate receipts. Revenue from services rendered is recognised in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction at the reporting date.




(i) Finance income and expensesFinance income comprises interest income on funds invested and. Interest income is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest method.

Finance expenses comprise interest expense on borrowings. All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

(j) Segment reporting

A segment is a distinguishable component of the Company that is engaged either in providing products or services (business segment), or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments.

(k) Goods and services tax

Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as a current asset or liability in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.

(l) Income tax

No provision for income tax has been made in the accounts because of the exemption allowed under Section 50-45 of the Income Tax Assessment Act (1997).

(m) New standard and interpretations not yet adopted

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periodsbeginning after 1 January 2011, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. None of these are expected to have significant effect on the financial statement of the Company.



4. Determination of fair values

A number of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and / or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

5. Financial risk management

The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:� Credit risk;� Liquidity risk;� Market risk

This note presents information about the Company’s exposure to each of the above risks, its objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout this financial report.

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework and for developing and monitoring risk management policies.

Risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities. The Company, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

The Board oversees how management monitors compliance with the Company’s risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s trade and other receivables.

At the balance sheet date there were no significant concentrations of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset in the balance sheet.

(a) Trade and other receivables

The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the Company’s customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate, has less of an influence on credit risk. Geographically there is no concentration of credit risk.



5. Financial risk management (continued)

Credit risk (continued)

(a) Trade and other receivables (continued)

The Board has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analysed individually for creditworthiness before the Company’s standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Company’s review includes external ratings, when available, and in some cases bank references. Customers that fail to meet the Company’s benchmark creditworthiness may transact with the Company only on a prepayment basis.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.

The Company monitors cash flow requirements on a daily basis and optimises its payments and receipts cycle accordingly. Typically the Company ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses for a period of 30 days, including the servicing of financial obligations; this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.

(a) Currency risk

The Company is not exposed to currency risk.

(b) Interest rate risk

The Company’s financial assets are subject to interest rate risk. The Company does not use derivatives to minimise this risk and these will fluctuate in accordance with movements in the market interest rates.

Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments

The Company does not account for any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, and the Company does not designate derivatives (interest rate swaps) as hedging instruments under a fair value hedge accounting model. Therefore a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss.

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments

A change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency rates, remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2009.

Directors’ responsibility for the financial report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraudor error.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

We performed the procedures to assess whether in all material respects the financial report presents fairly, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards, a true and fair view which is consistent with our understanding of the Company’sfinancial position and of its performance.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
