GovernanceThe Sport SA Board consists of seven directors electedby members and two directors appointed by the Board.The President and Vice President are elected by the Boardfollowing the AGM each year.

We value continuous improvement and a culture ofprofessionalism, teamwork, equity and commitmentunderpins our behaviours and approach to the achievementof our strategic plan. Effective communication is essentialin all aspects of our business and our staff are open andresponsive at all times.

President’s Report As is invariably the case, there havebeen many changes over the past year, and no doubt, with2 elections looming, 2013/14 is likely to see many more.

A significant change has occurred at thenational level. The concept of a peak body torepresent the interests of sport at a nationallevel has been discussed at various times overseveral years. In July this year it has come tofruition with the establishment of CommunitySport Australia Ltd (CSA). Sport SA,represented by our CEO, Jan Sutherland, hasjoined with its equivalent bodies in the otherStates to finally have a co-ordinated andunified approach to national sporting issues.The new Board of CSA has already been busyand has presented its policy platform to thevarious parties in the coming Federal election.

During the past year Sport SA has extensivelyreviewed its strategic plan and our memberswould have received the new Sport SAStrategic Plan 2013-2015. Many areas werereviewed and changes made. Of the moreimportant changes, there has been a greateremphasis placed on advocacy in general, butin particular to ‘advocate for and promoterecognition of the value of sport as a significantcontributor to the achievement of the social,health and public policy agenda of the broadercommunity.’ There is a clear link betweensport and recreation and health - a link whichis not always recognised by Governments,particularly in the allocation of funding.

On that note I am disappointed that the StateGovernment has reduced the grants funding.Whilst there has been much money spent onmajor projects (like Adelaide Oval), thepressures continue to mount on the manysporting associations that provide theopportunity for the community to participatein sport at all levels, and it is at the grassroots level where everyone starts theirsporting involvement. Just under 1 millionSouth Australians participate in sport andrecreation and over 880,000 participate atleast once a week. Over 1/2 million are involvedin organised participation. Further statisticsfrom a study carried out by the Office ofRecreation and Sport revealed that over 78%of the State’s population that are 16 years orolder, participate in physical activities forexercise, recreation and sport. And, as we allknow, there are thousands of volunteers, beingpaid nothing, who provide the structures andsupport for such activities. Governments arequick to acknowledge all of this but it stillseems to some of us that sport and recreationare not getting the recognition they deserve,particularly in funding terms.

Earlier this year, Sport SA, like many otherassociations and organisations, participatedin the 360’ Review conducted by the Office forRecreation and Sport and I commend themfor this initiative. I also thank all of Sport SA’sstakeholders and members who assisted inthe project. Sport SA, on the whole, receiveda favourable report which indicated we aredoing many things well. However, we havenoted some areas where we can do betterand I can assure our members andstakeholders that we will be giving our fullattention to all aspects of the report.

The KPMG Celebration of South AustralianSport dinner is now in its 4th year, with thedinner to be held again on Friday 22ndNovember. Sport SA invested ‘start up’ fundsin that first year and I am pleased to reportthat with the wonderful support of ourmembers, KPMG, the Government and theOffice for Recreation and Sport, we haverecovered that early investment. Our ‘Hall ofFamers’ were on display at the AdelaideAirport for over 12 months and it drew plentyof interest from passers-by. I thank theAdelaide Airport Authority for allowing us thatdisplay. We continue to investigate apermanent home for our KPMG SouthAustralian Sport Hall of Fame and, hopefully,a Sports Museum. There was a verbalundertaking by Government that we couldhave our Hall of Fame Legends on the bridgeleading to Adelaide Oval but, disappointingly,this seems to now be in some doubt. I wishto thank all those involved with these awards- our Board of Governors led by Rob GerardAO, the Hall of Fame selection panel led byDr John Daly, The Advertiser Channel SevenSports Star Awards Judging Panel and theSport SA Awards committee led by Terry Reilly.And a special thanks to our partners, ChannelSeven and The Advertiser.

During the year, Jan and I continue to meetregularly with Government, the Oppositionand the Executive Officer (Mr Paul Anderson)of the Office for Recreation and Sport. Therehave been some changes here with MinisterKenyon taking on other duties and I thank himfor his support. I welcome our new MinisterLeon Bignell and we are all delighted to seethe appointment of Marg Ralston AM as hisadvisor. Marg has an incredible knowledge ofthe sporting industry and the Minister is ingood hands. There have been further changesregarding the Shadow Minister - Dan van HolstPellekaan until November last year, Mitch

Williams for a short time and now Iain Evans.Thank you to Dan and Mitch and we lookforward to catching up with Iain in the comingyear. Also I must mention that Jan and I havealso met with Robert Brokenshire MLC whoalways shows an interest in our affairs.

Whilst I have perhaps made small criticismsof Government in this report, that in no wayreflects on the Ministers or the Office ofRecreation and Sport. We understand thatthey do not ‘hold the purse strings’. And onceagain, we are grateful for their support andtheir willingness to include us in discussionsand deliberations.

We have a number of other stakeholders andsponsors whom I thank and whom Jan willacknowledge.

During the year two of our Board membersretired - Jean Smith, a member since 2003,and Michael Carter, a member since 2004.I thank them both for their valuablecontributions to our Board. I welcome RayScheuboeck and David Hutton who joined theBoard in 2012 and have already proved to beworthwhile replacements. And thank you toall of the other Board members.

Finally I must thank the staff at Sport SA.I am continually impressed by their dedicationand efforts to achieve Sport SA’s objectives.I haven’t singled out Jan for a few years butit is fair to say that she has continued to do awonderful job. Her knowledge of the sportingindustry is second to none and she has takenSport SA forward in terms of both profile andreputation for excellence.

Best wishes to all for the coming year.

John Dicker APM

While the objectives of Sport SA as establishedin 1991 remain the same, we have continuedto evolve, responding to the changing politicaland economic climate.

Our connection to our members andstakeholders is strong and the excitinginitiatives of the KPMG Celebration of SouthAustralian Sport, the KPMG South AustralianSport Hall of Fame and Sport SA Awards havebeen great vehicles for the promotion of sport.In addition we enjoy visiting our sports andperhaps even trying the activity. This ensuresthat we have a good understanding of thegrassroots and work collaboratively to supportthe industry. We are well equipped torepresent in the many forums at local, stateand federal level.

To complement this we have effectiverelationships across government, meetingand discussing matters with all parties. Iwould like to thank the politicians who supportSport SA and in particular highlight formerMinister Kenyon and also our currentMinister, the Hon Leon Bignell MP who hasstepped into the role and shown insight intothe needs of our industry.

These political connections enable us toprovide the essential industry intelligenceand inform decisions.

As we approach both the federal and stateelections this will be of value in preparingour platform in the publication, “Sportsay”.

People are the most important asset in ourindustry and predominantly with an unpaidworkforce delivering our sport we must lookafter their needs for sustainability of theindustry. The challenges of understandingthese and supporting the officials, coaches,administrators and helpers is at the forefrontof our work. Recognition and alleviating thesedemands is a focus and enhancing Industrycapability is a key direction. The State SportDispute Centre continues to ease the burdenof dispute resolution for our members andour General Manager’s meetings, workshopsand publications providing further support.We are confident that our member’s servicescontinue to assist and support continuousimprovement.

My roles at Service Skills Australia andService Skills SA represent our industry tosupport skills and workforce development.In SA “Skills for All” has presented a differentapproach and this continues to be an evolvingenvironment. There is greater support andopportunities but understanding the needs

of employees in the Not for Profit sector andthe sport, fitness and recreation industry withthe identified trends and consumer marketpresents unique concerns. The workload ofour people continues to grow and “Red Tape”is a significant barrier. Our workshopsupported by Club One identified many issuesand later this year we will return to this topic.

Financial Performance

In 2012/2013 we have recorded a deficit andthis reflects the constraints in this economicclimate. The Sport Awards Project hasreturned on the investment with a positiveposition. Training continues to underachievethe budget and it is evident that this willcontinue to fluctuate. New projects have beendeveloped and we are re-visiting all programs.

The Balance Sheet and Members’ equityremains in a good position and will provide asound basis for the future of Sport SA.

Business development and the diversificationof income streams are prominent in ourOperational Plan and the new initiative in2013, The Sport, Fitness and Health Festivalwill take us into new territory and promotesport, fitness and health to the entirecommunity.

PartnersThe support of our partners is essential andI would like to thank them for theirinvolvement. There are always value addedbenefits for our members and Sport SA andthe KPMG Financial Management Workshopsand OAMPS Insurance Brokers services areexamples.

The retention of our long term partners,Adelaide Shores and OAMPS InsuranceBrokers has been significant and we enjoyworking with you.

KPMG have continued their partnership andthis has been an excellent fit with the KPMGCelebration of South Australian Sport withalignment of our leadership roles.

The Sport Awards partners as listed havebeen essential and the community support,Premier’s support and the Office forRecreation and Sport have been integral tothe success.

Our positive relationship with the stategovernment through Minister Bignell and theOffice for Recreation and Sport led by PaulAnderson, Executive Director is highly valuedand we appreciate the open, regularcommunication.

In 2013 we are looking forward to someexciting announcements for sport andperhaps the achievement of our 5 year goals.

Human Resources

The Sport SA staff brings great passion andexpertise to our business and I am pleasedthat we have seen few staffing changes in thelast five years.

The knowledge and skills of the team is agreat fit from Peter Spry in BusinessDevelopment, Lee Patterson in Training, LeaO’Brien in Events and Administration and theyare well supported by Sharon Stephenson inFinance and Administration. Our trainees,Jess Grenci and Leticia George have beenvaluable and I would like to thank everyonefor their commitment and drive to makingSport SA a successful operation.

Our governance structure is sound and ablyled by President John Dicker APM. Both Johnand Vice President, Jill George bring a wealthof knowledge to the roles and their advice isalways appreciated. The representation andother tasks often fall to John and Jill and theycapably present on our behalf.

I would like to thank the Board for theirconfidence and leadership as we continue todevelop Sport SA. Initiatives are encouragedand the meticulous risk management ensuresthat the members’ funds are well managed.The Committees are aligned with ourStrategic areas and the KPMG SouthAustralian Sport Hall of Fame Board ofGovernors, led by Robert Gerard AO has beena great springboard for sport in SA.

I am looking forward to the achievements inthe next three years of the Strategic Plan andafter nine years in this role, I start to reflecton the changes. There is still more to do andI have a wish list for sport in SA.

Thank you to our members and stakeholdersand November 22nd at the AdelaideEntertainment Centre is the place to be tocelebrate the 2013 KPMG Celebration of SouthAustralian Sport. I look forward to catchingup with you as we enjoy a great eveningshowcasing our sporting heritage, stars andthe support team.

The 76-year-old Olympic team and AdelaideFootball Club doctor died after battling pancreaticcancer. He has been remembered as a warm,caring professional with a sense of humour anda commitment to world-standard sports medicine.

Adelaide Crows Chief executive Steven Trigg saidthe club was sad to lose a "much-loved andwonderful friend and confidant", adding thebroader Australian sporting community wouldalso mourn his death.

"Brian was a legend of Australian sport and weloved him as a club," he said. "His care for somany players over so many years at our club, andsome of our off-field staff, was just remarkable.

"Just the qualities that he had - he had a wonderfulsense of humour, he had a terrific warmth andcaring about him but was a real professional atthe same time.

"Everybody had the utmost respect and confidencein him."

Dr Sando was involved with the Crows from 1991to 2008 and was a life member of the club.

He also served as chief medical officer for theAustralian Olympic team and the Australian DavisCup team, attending eight Olympic Games andthree Commonwealth Games.

Trevor Jaques delivered one of the eulogies atDr Brian Sando's memorial service.

“In his way Brian was a Caesar: a leader, acolossus, imperious, a visionary, ambitious,honourable, larger than life, a fighter, an innovatorand a builder. While not interested in empirebuilding he was a creator and developer. He willcertainly be remembered and acknowledged asleaving this world, his profession and his passion,medicine and sports medicine, better for his being,his involvement and leadership

The Good Lives After Them.” Vale Brian!

Volunteers

Sport and Recreation continues to be the largestvolunteer workforce in our community with 34%of formal volunteering in our organisations. Thesport and recreation industry would not be able toprovide the diversity of activities without the “unpaidworkforce”. The economic contribution and alsothe valuable “sense of community” which underpinsour sport is seen in the regional and city areas.There is little fuss and everyone pitches in to makesure that local community sport happens. Theresourcefulness of these communities is excellentand there always seems to be a way of solving aproblem.

In September 2012, we again saw the verysuccessful Australian University Games in Adelaideand the committed, enthusiastic and capablevolunteer workforce, the hall mark of sportingevents in Adelaide, were out in force.

The Orroroo Masters Games in April 2013 wasanother great demonstration of community spiritand this successful event brought many people toparticipate as athletes and also volunteers.

The Australian Netball Diamonds came to Adelaideagain in October 2012 and the enthusiastic bandof helpers of all ages provided the volunteer supportto Netball Australia. The variety of tasks added tothe enjoyment and the group was capablycoordinated by Lee Patterson.

Ministerial Advisory Group on Volunteering providesrecommendations and advice to the Minister onmatters related to volunteering. There was achange in the Minister in 2013 from Hon Ian HunterMP and the Group Chair Hon Tony Piccolo MPmoved into the role of Minister for Volunteers. TheChair is now Ms. Zoe Bettison and we have beenexploring the issues facing this sector perhaps toinfluence the support and recognition of manycoaches, umpires, officials and people whoundertake these roles quietly and for ourcommunity benefit.

Valuing our Sport and Recreation Volunteers

Sport SA received funding from the Office forRecreation and Sport to deliver a “Valuing ourVolunteers Project”. The project aimed to recognisethe valuable contribution of sport and activerecreation volunteers in South Australia byacknowledging them at a function held at asignificant sporting event. Members of Parliamentwere invited to nominate a volunteer from theirelectorate to attend and nominees for the SportSA Award categories: Volunteer Award, Official andCoach of the Year Award whose roles are voluntarywere also invited.

On Thursday January 10, volunteers were invitedto the 2013 World Tennis Challenge for drinks andnibbles at an exclusive Cocktail Function courtesyof Tennis SA at Next Generation, Memorial Drive.Volunteers were welcomed and acknowledged byTennis SA President Bill Cossi, presented with aSport SA pin by Chief Executive Officer,Jan Sutherland and Chairman of the Sport SAAwards Committee, Terry Reilly. They were thenlucky enough to hear from inaugural KPMG SouthAustralian Sport Hall of Fame member and Tennisgreat Mark Woodforde. His interview with MartinaNavratilova shared many insights into growing upon the pro circuit after leaving the Czech Republic.

Attendees then went on to watch the night’s sevenTennis matches between Tennis Legends andcurrent ATP stars.

Thank you to our volunteers in Sport, to the Officefor Recreation and Sport and thank you to TennisSA for assisting with the function.

We have seen the development ofmasters’ sport across South Australia and manyparticipants in the State Masters Games haveextended their involvement to the national andinternational Masters sporting arena. It is our goalat Sport SA to see as many mature age participants(over 30 years of age) take part in the Games aspossible and is an excellent opportunity for olderathletes to become or remain active as part oftheir own and the Masters community.

2013 Orroroo State Masters Games

Orroroo have been enthusiastic bidders for theGames for a few years and it was a just reward forlots of hard work by the local Masters GamesCommittee that Sport SA finally handed them thehosting rights for 2013. Their “tag-line” for 2013was “Fun, Fitness and Friendship in the Flinders”and they provided plenty of each throughout thefour days. Orroroo offered 15 sports including thetraditional sports but visitors were encouraged toalso try their hand in the local pursuits of DirtCircuit, Western Riding, Camp Draft, Dressage andBarrel Racing.

Western Riding involves a horse performing apattern that combines trail and reining elements.Camp drafting is a unique Australian sport involvinga horse and rider working cattle.

Dressage is referred to as "the highest expressionof horse training" where "horse and rider areexpected to perform from memory a series ofpredetermined movements". Barrel racing is arodeo event in which a horse and rider attempt tocomplete a clover-leaf pattern around pre-setbarrels in the fastest time.

The town saw increased trade and exposure fortheir local businesses which was badly neededconsidering the poor seasonal conditions whichhad hit the area in the last few years.

The number of registrations (542) far exceededtheir expectations and when you threw in partnersand friends visiting over the four days thepopulation of Orroroo doubled during the MastersGames.

The Games were a resounding success at Orrorooand exemplified everything that the Masters Gamesepitomised - Fun, Fitness and Friendship.

Congratulations to the Orroroo Masters GamesCommittee for a job well done.

In May 2000, Ron Shattock then CEO at West Beach Trust (Adelaide Shores) approached Kathy Stanton (SportSA CEO) to be a corporate donor with the shared vision that the partnership would work together in thedevelopment of sport and tourism within South Australia.

In this period both parties have continued to work together and now many of our members regularly use theAdelaide Shores accommodation for their teams and individuals.

Sport SA would like to thank Adelaide Shores CEO, Kate Williams and Marketing and Communications ManagerEmily Galdes and all the Adelaide Shores staff for their continued support.
