• Work collaboratively as part of a multidisciplinary performance support team that creates a high-performance environment to provide an integrated program based on the level and needs of QAS-supported athletes. This includes spending an appropriate amount of time in the daily training environment (DTE) and attending weekly Performance Support team meetings.
• Regularly liaise with key internal and external stakeholders, including but not limited to Athletics Australia to collaboratively identify current sport-specific S&C trends to deliver high-quality integrated outcomes.
• Lead and mentor S&C staff, support professional development, and contribute to applied research and knowledge sharing across the high-performance network.
