OUR VISION To be the leading organisation in delivering Olympic and Commonwealth Games activity to the Western

OUR MISSION To share the Olympic and Commonwealth Games experience with as many Western Australians as possible

including athletes, corporate, Government and the wider community.

OUR VALUES To be a transparent, responsible and sustainable organisation.

To be a market leader in corporate partnerships and events.

To be the sole agency that manages relationships with the Olympic and Commonwealth Games

alumni.

To act in a professional manner in all organisational activity.

Western Australia enjoys an outstanding Olympic history that dates back to 1912. The achievements of our

Western Australian athletes at the Olympic Games are a source of pride for all Western Australians.

The Australian Olympic Team is the embodiment of our nati The Team links

best in a competition that promotes a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play.

The Australian Olympic Movement promotes to the youth of Western Australia values such as respect,

aspiration and team work.

As proud custodian of the Olympic Movement in Western Australia, the Western Australian Olympic Council

AUSTRALIAN OLYMPIC TEAM VALUES

by all athletes participating at an Olympic Games.

Attitude

My positive attitude is essential in overcoming obstacles to help me improve and give my best. My positive

attitude is a key ingredient to success and leadership.

Sportsmanship

I recognise that sport is greater than the individual; that cheating reduces the stature of sport and all who

love it; that class, race and creed are never factors in the attitude of true sports people and those who

respect the virtue and values of sport

Pride

Pride drives me when the temptation is to settle for something less. I am proud to have been chosen to

represent our country.

Individual Responsibility

I alone am responsible for my performance but I will be generous in acknowledging the support of others.

Respect

I respect sport, the efforts of my competitors, my team mates and officials. I respect Australia, our Olympic

past and the spirit of Olympism.

Express Yourself

I have an opinion and will express my view with thought and consideration to others. In showing my

emotions I do with individuality and, where possible, good humour.

PRESIDENTS REPORT

Overview and Fundraising

Ladies and Gentleman,

estern Australian Olympic

Council (WAOC) for 2015.

As we approach the staging of the Games of the XXXI Olymp

Australian athletes are being named as members of the Australian Team to represent their country in their

chosen sports. I am personally pleased to report that the first selection of WA members to the Australian

Olympic Team was indeed on March 23rd from my own sport of Canoe/Kayak with Stephen Bird, Daniel

Bowker and Fernenc Szekszardi selected to represent Australia in the Sprint Canoe/Kayak discipline.

For many, 2016 will be the culmination and highlight of their sporting careers and will finally realise their

enthusiasm, commitment, dedication and pursuit of excellence in the sporting arena and we wish them every

success in achieving their respective individual and team goals.

In reflecting on their journey, it is easy, despite these challenging economic times in Western Australia, to

Committee (AOC) to send our team of athletes and officials on the last, and yet most important phase of their

journey to represent their country with distinction and pride at an Olympic Games.

On numerous occasions in the past I have stressed the importance of our role in assisting the AOC remain

independent of Government funding and being able to select and send our athletes to the Games without

fear or favor, without bias and without undue political interference of that process.

Whilst the support of Government is essential to our sporting system in achieving both participation and

performance outcomes in the lead up to an Olympic Games, the need for Australia to be represented on the

World stage and for athletes to display their skill and prowess without the AOC and/or the athletes influenced

by the political color of the day, or having to fund their own representation, is a principle which underpins our

role.

With the unwavering commitment of our dedicated Olympic Team Appeal Committee WA consisting of Perth

business leaders ably chaired by the Hon Richard Court AC, the WAOC is once again rising to the challenge

of financially assisting the AOC to send our athletes to the Olympic Games. In excess of $20,000,000 will be

required to send our contingent of approximately 450 athletes, plus officials and staff to Rio. Cumulatively

the six State Olympic Councils are responsible for fundraising $8,000,000. The WAOC has been set a target

of $800,000.

The impact of the GFC on the mining sector in WA remains a challenge to our fundraising initiatives, as it has

historically been a business sector renowned for its support of the WA community. However, I know the

Olympic Team Appeal Committee WA will not be deterred in meeting, if not exceeding our target.

With approximately 10% of the Australian team likely to be represented by Western Australian

remains incumbent on us to meet our fair share of the fundraising target. And so it was with great pride

that the Team Appeal Committee accepted a cheque from the WA Government and the people of WA

from the Minister for Sport and Recreation Hon Mia Davies MLA in the presence of The Premier, Hon.

launch

The $266,000 cheque represented 1/3 of the WAOC Team Appeal target and we are thankful that the

WA Government was again able to continue its association with the WAOC and maintain their level of

financial commitment to our cause.

Executive and Administration

On the organisational front, 2015 saw some significant challenges and change progressed during the year,

not only within our staff but also our Joint Executive membership. The resignation of the WAOC Executive

Director Jeff Healy late in 2014, ACGAWA President Gratton Wilson at the WAOC AGM in 2015, and a

number of WAOC Executive in the lead up to the 2015 AGM, enabled us to implement a new office and

staffing structure. WAOC Executive Officer Lisa Lilleyman, was appointed, and Executive Director

Fundraising for the Olympic Team Appeal Committee WA; J Barrey Williams, was appointed after stepping

down as Chair of the Committee.

With this staff restructure, we have two clear areas of responsibility, with committed and dedicated staff. Lisa

in the role of Executive Officer WAOC has a key accountability to manage the office and brings significant

experience and capability to the position with key responsibility for developing, maintaining and fostering our

community and athlete services areas, establishing and forging long lasting relationships with our partners,

supporters and suppliers, committee secretarial support, financial management, annual audits and reports, and

AGM, Executive and Olympic Team Appeal Committee WA meeting preparations.

J Barrey on the other hand has a sole focus on support and delivery of the Olympic Team Appeal Committee

WA fundraising outcomes through assisting Committee members with table sales and event promotion until

the delivery of our final fundraising event for the 2016 quadrennial.

We also saw the appointment of a new Chair of the Olympic Team Appeal Committee WA, the Hon. Richard

Court AC. We are fortunate to have s

Team Appeal target is achieved.

If you have not had the opportunity to meet with Lisa or J Barrey, I urge you to visit our new office inside the

new WA Institute of Sport (WAIS) facility, and introduce yourselves as members, athletes, or alumni and

be happy to secure any support or table sales you may be able to facilitate.

On the Executive membership front, we thanked Eamon Sullivan for bringing his profile and service to the

Committee however work demands precluded his continuation in that role. We farewelled Howard Read and

Liz Chetkovich and thank them for their valued contribution of their combined many years of service. We

welcomed business executive Rick Elkington and Olympian Daniel Woodhouse to the WAOC Executive.

office locations, we relocated to the most appropriate location for our operations

inside the home of elite sport in WA, the new WAIS High Performance Centre in Mt Claremont. Co-location

at WAIS means our office is situated among those that are most likely to benefit from the work that we do.

Equally we are fortunate to have access to and meet with athletes on a day to day basis to facilitate

opportunities for both the WAOC and the athletes themselves.

We are most appreciative of the ongoing support of the Minister for Sport and Recreation Hon. Mia Davies

MLA and WAIS Executive Director Steve Lawrence for their support with our office relocation. I would also

like to take this opportunity to thank Seven West Media for their support over the best part of the last 3

Olympiads in providing us with free office tenancy at their Tuart Hill premises.

As we progress into the final year of our strategic plan, athlete involvement in the delivery of our fundraising

outcomes and our other programs including promotion of Olympic values, Olympic team support, Olympic

education, history, heritage, mentoring, regional tours, community and fellowship is essential. Being at

WAIS gives us the opportunity to demonstrate and reflect the aspirations and values of the athletes

through our WAOC initiatives.

8

The significant personnel changes during 2015 have only been possible with the support of the members of

the Joint Executive of the ACGAWA and the WAOC, and enabled us to successfully transition into a new

staffing structure, reinvigorate the Olympic Team Appeal Committee WA and relocate our offices whilst

continuing to pursue our strategic initiatives.

I personally have been ably assisted by my Vice-Presidents Allana Slater and Sam Castiglione, who is also the

new President of ACGAWA, and Liane Tooth, President of the WA Olympians Club who continues to

reinvigorate and enlist the support of our WA Olympic Alumni. Jointly we pursue adherence to good

governance best practice, and look towards further reinforcing the skill set of the Joint Executive as we

embark on recruitment of new Executive members and development of a revised 4 year Strategic Plan.

During 2015, we also took the time and the opportunity to reaffirm our Patrons and agreed that their terms

should be ongoing and consistent with the period of their respective positions, and I am pleased to be able to

report their unanimous acceptance of their appointments.

The last 12 months has seen a strengthening of our relationship with the AOC through their approach to Hon

Richard Court AC to Chair the Olympic Team Appeal Committee WA. I wish to acknowledge our appreciation

of this approach and also take this opportunity to thank the outgoing Chair and now Executive Director of

fundraising, J Barrey Williams,

Olympiads.

Our first major fundraising initiative was the Rio Olympic Long Table Luncheon hosted by President of the

AOC, Mr John Coates AC and the Team Appeal Chairman, Hon. Richard Court AC. We were fortunate to

hear John present us with his musings on the preparations for Rio 2016. Of course John is also Vice President

of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and Chair of the IOC Organising Committee for Tokyo 2020.

His presentation was both entertaining and informative. I was also fortunate to join John, while he was in

Perth, on his visit with Betty Cuthbert. Whilst Betty is no longer living independently with the support of

longtime friend Rhonda, she was very much alert and was delighted to be able to catch up with John and

reminisce over old times. She wished us well with preparations for our signature fundraising event The

(POD).

As we now rapidly close in on the staging of our signature fundraising event, I look forward to working

with the AOC, business and sporting communities, our Alumni and State Sporting Associations

(SSA s)

occasion for 2016. The AOC will be represented by Kitty Chiller, Chef de Mission of the 2016

Australian Olympic Team, and we look forward to welcoming her and the resident members of the

Australian Olympic Team in Western Australia prior to their departure for Rio. The POD Planning

Sub-committee is promising to deliver the fervor and excitement that befits and would be expected

Our POD Auction Sub-committee equally is promising some unique

and valuable pieces for auction on the night, so I urge you to ensure you get your table to what will

be a sold out 1000 seat event.

Funding

It is incumbent on me to acknowledge that our activities in WA would not be possible without the funding

model and support provided by the AOC where we work with a limited but known stipend in the 4 years of an

Olympiad. Along with our grant allocation from the WA Department of Sport and Recreation (DSR) and a

strategic initiatives to support our key fundraising outcome whilst ensuring that 100% of funds raised by the

WAOC are passed on to the AOC for the benefit of the Australian Olympic Team.

The operation of the WAOC relies on a successful relationship with the ACGAWA, and operationally we are

fortunate to have experienced and capable volunteer Board members, shared aspirations, activities and

programs. The joint office arrangement continues to benefit the way we operate and provide significant

synergies for both organisations, including the joint office venue and central business location, joint staffing

arrangement, capable and professional personnel, excellent office and meeting facilities, and potentially

storage facilities for memorabilia and heritage items, including our irreplaceable Betty Cuthbert Perry Lakes

Stadium memorabilia piece .

We are indebted to the DSR for maintaining their commitment to the joint office and for their promotion and

support of the regional Champions 2 Country Tour promoting Olympic and Commonwealth Games values in

regional WA.

Whilst the financial statements will be reported by our Executive Officer in her report, I am pleased to advise

that we were able to operate with a small surplus for the 2015 calendar year.

Membership and Relationships

During 2015, the WAOC initiated a program of Sundowners

Executive and Olympic Team Appeal Committee WA members the opportunity to further build and

strengthen the relationships between themselves, State Sporting Associations, athletes, the WA sporting

community, industry and business. We believe this initiative has been successful and it will be pursued on a

regular basis in the foreseeable future, so I urge you as member sports to take advantage of the opportunities

when offered.

We are also keen to further engage with you as member sports and have you more directly involved in

achieving our fundraising target as the funding so raised directly benefits your athletes participation in

the Olympic arena. If as member sports you elect to conduct fundraising towards the participation of your

sports team members, we would welcome your donation as a contribution to the team appeal and

appropriately acknowledge and promote your contribution.

We will continue to foster the relationship with our Alumni in the Olympians Club and have this year

extended the opportunity for them as Olympians to host our gold tables at The Premier s Olympic Dinner.

Not only as a gesture and opportunity of recognition for them, but a unique opportunity and honour no

doubt for those around the tables.

VenuesWest is a new and valuable WAOC partner through the provision of our office facilities and we look

to strengthen our relationship with the WA Museum. We are keen to ensure the appropriate recognition and

display for our sporting heritage in the proposed new WA Sports Museum where we anticipate our Betty

Cuthbert piece will take pride of place.

Conclusion and Acknowledgements

I would like to extend my appreciation to a number of people and organisations, not the least my Joint

Executive members and in particular WAOC Executive members, the Olympic Team Appeal Committee WA

and Chair Hon. Richard Court AC, and the WAOC Alumni, especially the Olympians Club of WA. We are

extremely appreciative of the time and commitment of our volunteer businessmen and women who comprise

the Olympic Team Appeal Committee WA.

I have acknowledged the contribution of Seven West Media for its 10 year office hosting arrangements at

TVW Channel 7 Perth in Tuart Hill, and again wish to acknowledge the support of the State Government

through DSR, and the positive relationship with their staff.

The Carbine Club has been a committed advocate for the WAOC for a number of years and we are thankful

for their annual contribution via the annual Carbine Club Olympic Luncheon. The relationship with the West

Coast Eagles Football Club towards our fundraising is to be especially commended and we look forward to

continuing both of those long standing relationships.

I would also like to thank a number of other people who were instrumental to our successful operations in

2015 including past Vice-President Gratton Wilson in transitioning the financial reporting processes with new

Executive Officer Lisa Lilleyman, and also Steph Clements who coordinated the successful Champions to the

Regions program.

I have expressed that we enjoy a close relationship with the AOC and in particular, aside from acknowledging

the support of John Coates in the transition of the Olympic Team Appeal Committee WA and staffing, I wish

to acknowledge the positive and direct working relationship we have with James Edwards as AOC Director,

National Fundraising and Community Programs. His foresight and counsel has been much valued as we

progress our fundraising initiatives in a climate of economic uncertainty.

Lisa, Liane and I all attended the 2015 AOC AGM and Lisa was extended the opportunity of an induction with

the AOC Sydney office staff and familiarization with the AOC administration and financial systems. Liane

attended the Olympians Cub of Australia AGM. Whilst there has been a significant changeover of AOC staff

in recent years, we are always received warmly.

In conclusion, the WAOC and the joint office have undergone significant change during 2015, and it has been

through the work of the respective Presidents, the support of the Joint Executive members, the incumbent

and immediate past Chairs of the Olympic Team Appeal Committee WA, and the professionalism and

commitment of new Executive Officer Lisa Lilleyman that we have successfully transitioned these changes

whilst maintaining the activity and enthusiasm in the organisation and continuation of our core fundraising

initiatives.

I thank and congratulate them one and all and commend this report to you for endorsement.

EXECUTIVE OFFICER REPORT

I am honored to represent the Western Australian Olympic Council (WAOC) as Executive Officer and deliver

to our members my first Executive Officer Report. Commencing employment in May 2015, the following 7

months presented many opportunities and challenges as a concerted effort was made to re-engage with our

r the benefit of our 2016

Australian Olympic Team.

I would like to thank The President, Mr Greg Kaeding and the Executive of the WAOC for their support and

guidance throughout 2015. On behalf of the WA Olympic Council, I would also like to formally thank Steve

Lawrence and all the staff at the WA Institute of Sport for providing such a welcoming and supportive

environment throughout our move to our new Office space in the WA Institute of Sport, it is very much

appreciated.

The Department of Sport and Recreation continue to provide pivotal operational funding support and I

recognise the valuable of their contribution and support they have given once again in 2015.

The anticipation and excitement continues to build as we approach the 2016 Olympic Games to be held in

Rio de Janeiro from 5 21 August. One of the fundamental roles of the WAOC is to manage the Olympic

Team Appeal Fundraising. In 2015 we were delighted the Hon. Richard Court AC accepted the invitation to

Chair the Australian Olympic Team Appeal Committee who are responsible for raising the funds. Under

achieving their target and more detail can be found in the Team Appeal report in the following pages.

Another key deliverable of the WAOC is to promote Olympism throughout WA and this has been achieved

through a number of different activities in 2015 outlined in the Operational Report. Relationships continue

to be a key driver in all the activities delivered by the Council and I am confident the relationships with Alumni,

Athletes and our key stakeholders will continue to grow stronger.

The financial position of the WAOC remains solid with close scrutiny being continually placed on expenditure

and ensuring we maximise the efficiency of our spending to gain the most beneficial outcome for the Council

while being mindful of our Strategic Objectives.

Sound Governance principles underpins all our activities resulting in a transparent, responsible and sustainable

incorporated association. A review of the WAOC Constitution was conducted during 2015 and key changes

to be proposed at the 2016 AGM will be the recognition of our Indigenous Australians and ensure gender

equity in all our practices.

For an Athlete to reach the pinnacle of their sporting career, and compete on the world stage, it takes years

wonderful village the Olympic family is. From Junior and Senior coaches

within the State Sporting Associations through to State/National Sporting Institutes and ultimately National

and Olympic Coaches. Olympic selection and competition is achieved through the commitment and

dedication made by an athlete, the immeasurable support of c family and friends and

together with the fundraising from the WAOC, our Western Australian Athletes can live their Dream in 2016.

I am looking forward to the Olympic year ahead helping Athletes realise their dream.

OPERATIONS

Executive Committee

The WAOC has undergone a complete re-structure in 2015. The position of Executive Officer remained

vacant at the beginning of the year and Melissa Magini was employed on a casual basis to deliver the 2015

AGM and provide administration support. Gratton Wilson, President of the ACGAWA and Vice President of

the WAOC, was instrumental in securing the lease of new office space inside the WAIS facility. The WAOC

would like to acknowledge and thank Gratton for the extraordinary amount of time and effort he put in to

ensure the WAOC remained operational throughout the period without an employed Executive Officer.

The WAOC Executive also saw a changing of the guard in 2015. We farewelled long serving Vice President

of the WAOC, Gratton Wilson. Gratton has been a valuable member of the Executive providing his financial

expertise and extensive experience in sport management enabled the WAOC to continue to grow over his

many years of service.

In April 2015, Sam Castiglione joined Allana Slater as joint Vice Presidents of the Council and Danielle

Woodhouse OAM joined the Executive Team. In July Richard Elkington was welcomed onto the WAOC

Executive Team. During the 2015 financial year four meetings of the WAOC Executive were held. A full list

of the WAOC Executive can be found on page 43 of this report.

Secure storage of our Olympic and Commonwealth memorabilia has been generously provided by WAOC

Executive member Richard Elkington. We thank Richard for his assistance with the move and for providing

the secure facility for our precious memorabilia.

Staff

The WAOC operates under a joint office agreement with the Australian Commonwealth Games Association

WA Division. In May, Lisa Lilleyman was appointed to the position of Executive Officer and by the end of

May the WAOC had moved into its new office inside the WAIS facility. Transitioning to a new office with

new staff has not been without its challenges, however, the move has proved a highly beneficial one where

access to Athletes and Coaches has ensured relationship building and support to athletes is of prime

importance. Relationship building remains one of primary driving forces inside the office as without the

support of the Olympian Club of WA, Olympians and Athletes and our members and key stakeholders the

WAOC would not be able to deliver many of our programs and achieve our strategic objectives.

Membership

The WAOC represents a total of 27 Constituent members, 7 Recgonised Sport members and 2 Associate

members. Regular communication has been provided to our members and we look forward to further

developing the important relationships with the towards Rio 2016.

Activities

The WAOC strategic objectives underpinned all our activities and in 2015.

On the 3 July the Carbine Club Olympic Luncheon was held to support our Olympic Team Appeal.

Various items were offered up for auction where proceeds go towards supporting the Olympic

Team Appeal. We recognise and appreciate the annual support provided by the Carbine Club and

their members for the benefit of the Australian Olympic Team.

5 August to the 2016 Rio Olympic Games with

celebratory activities taking place across the nation. The Australian Olympic Committee re-brand

was also launched and has been widely well received. The new brand is described as being vibrant,

bold and contemporary with iconic history and uniquely Australian as can be seen below.

The Historic Hale House was the location of the Olympic Team Appeal Launch on 7 August

estone. More detail on this occasion can be found in the

Fundraising section of this report.

State Sporting Association (SSA) Sundowners form part of our re-engagement strategy. Our first

Sundowner was held on 13 August at WAIS and we look forward to hosting regular future

activities with our SSA Members took a tour of the $33 million high performance centre thanks

to Steve Lawrence, WAIS Executive Director.

Throughout the year our Olympians and athletes are given the opportunity to attend or present

at various events in and around Perth. The appearances benefit the athletes by providing

networking opportunities which can have a great impact on their life after sport. By attending

events and presentations the athletes are also increasing their personal profile which may benefit

their future sponsorship or corporate support arrangements. Athletes are given the opportunity

to tell their story and how they got to where they are today, inspiring all audience members

whether they be school children, aspiring Olympians or members of the corporate community.

On the 18 October Olympians Olivia Vivian, Jesse Phillips and Olympic hopeful Nina Kennedy

appeared on Channel 7 in support of Telethon.

20 October our first Olympian Sundowner was held in an effort to re-engage with Olympic

Alumni. More event detail can be found in The Olympians Club of WA report on page 21

26-29 October Champions 2 Country Regional Tour. More detail can be found in the Program

section of this report

On 24 November the Olympic Team Appeal hosted their first fundraising event, the Rio Olympic

Long Table Luncheon. It was a successful initiative and once again more details can be found in

the Fundraising section of this report.

On 17 December the Joint Executive of the WAOC and ACGAWA hosted the Olympic Team

Appeal Committee for a Christmas celebration in recognition and appreciation of their efforts

towards raising funds for the benefit of our Australian Olympic Team.

KEY STAKEHOLDERS AND RELATIONSHIPS

State Sporting Associations

Members are the key to any organisation and our State Sporting Associations (SSA) are an integral part of

our business. The position of Executive Officer was vacant for 9 months and coming in with a clear slate has

allowed the development of various strategies to re-engage with our members. Quarterly newsletters are

now distributed keeping our members up to date with the latest Olympic information. News from the

Australian Olympic Committee forms some of the content ensuring the seamless transition of information

and providing relevant Olympic information at a local level.

Bi-

other sporting codes

outcomes for the athletes we both work to support.

Western Australian Institute of Sport

The transition of the WAOC office to WAIS has been

pivotal in the close relationships developed with Athletes

and the WAIS staff in 2015.

We have developed strong individual relationships with

many of our aspiring athletes, their coaches and support

staff giving our athletes a personal introduction to the

Olympic movement and increasing their public profile

through media opportunities, corporate appearances and connection with WA community through our

various initiatives. Through relationships with the WAIS athlete support staff we have been able to re-

instate the Athlete Mentor Program aiming to develop athlete relationships with employers and industry

that may lead to employment in the future and provides personal development opportunities. Further focus

on implementation and engagement is required to raise the profile of this program.

Not only has the move to WAIS been beneficial for relationships, it has also given the WAOC the

opportunity through our lease agreement with WAIS, to access function and meeting rooms to enable the

efficient and professional conduct of our business and the ability to host our members and key stakeholders

at the various meeting and functions throughout the year.

The vast majority of athletes selected to compete at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games will have received

support from WAIS and we extend our congratulations and appreciation to them for the important role they

play in developing our Olympians.

VenuesWest

Many of our Athletes train and compete at Venuewest facilities and our office being based inside

WAIS, is a Venueswest facility. The relationship between our two organisations is important and the

WAOC will continue to work with Venueswest in finding ways in which we can support each other in

developing and supporting our athletes and promoting Olympism within the WA Community.

The Western Australian Museum

The Sports Museum previously located at HBF Stadium (formerly Challenge Stadium) has now

completed its journey to the Western Australian Museum Archives where it will be held until the

completion of the new WA Museum in 2020. Following consultation with WA Museum CEO Mr Alec

Coles, the new space allocated within the Museum will suitably recognise and display the extraordinary

achievements of our Western Australian Olympians ensuring their legacy continues.

15

FUNDRAISING

The WA Olympic Council is an affiliate of the Australian Olympic Committee and together with the other

State Olympic Councils, as a collective, we are responsible for raising $8,000,000 towards sending the

Olympic Team to compete at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.

Western Australian athletes constitute approximately 10% of the Australian Olympic Team, therefore the

WA Olympic Council, through the Australian Olympic Team Appeal Committee WA, have been set a

fundraising target of $800,000. Fundraising monies are generated through a combination of high profile

events along with State Government Grant and private donations and do not include sponsorship, licensing

or marketing programs to support our WA Olympians competing on the world stage at the Olympic Games.

The Olympic Team Appeal Committee WA, a group of Western Australian business leaders, are responsible

for raising the $800,000 for the benefit of our athletes competing at the Olympic Games. In 2015 we were

thrilled to announce the Hon. Richard Court AC accepted the position of Chairman of the Olympic Team

Appeal Committee WA and we are grateful for renewed enthusiasm and drive Richard has bought to the

Committee.

J Barrey Williams, has continued his service to the Olympic Team Appeal Committee through his

seamless transition in

leadership of the Committee.

Acknowledgements

The WAOC would like to thank the members of the Team Appeal Committee who give up their time

voluntarily. Their commitment to Fundraising for the benefit of our Australian Olympic Team is appreciated

by the Council and the athletes alike.

One of the key components to the success of our fundraising activities is the support from our Olympic

Alumni and aspiring Olympians who embrace the opportunity to be a part of the Olympic Team Appeal

activities and we also thank them for their support. The valuable assistance to the Olympic Team Appeal by

the staff and athletes at Hockey Australia, in particular Shane Tonkin, Simone Fountain and Angele Gray,

continue to ensure our fundraising activities are a success and their support is very much appreciated.

Celebrating One Year to Go

On 7 August, mark Team Appeal Committee hosted a

cocktail party at the Office of The Premier. The WAOC would like to acknowledge the support from the

Western Australian State Government and the Department of Sport and Recreation through their grant of

$266,000 towards the Olympic Team Appeal. The cheque was presented to the Hon Richard Court AC and

OLYMPIANS CLUB OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA - Always an Olympian

Never Pa

The aim of the Olympians Club in WA (OCWA) is to bring together Olympians from all eras and sports in the

spirit of the Olympic Movement. We share a unique bond as Olympians and members of a small and elite

group in the Olympians Club.

The OCWA Executive met on 4 occasions and continues to progress business by email in between meetings.

It has been great to again have WAOC administration support since the appointment of new Executive

Officer Lisa Lilleyman in May and the establishment of the new office at the WAIS high performance

centre. The OCWA continues to enjoy a great relationship with the WAOC and I take this opportunity to

particularly thank Lisa for the administrative support she has provided to the OCWA, and also to Greg

Kaeding, President of the WA Olympic Council.

The Executive remains focused on providing opportunities for social interaction at OCWA activities held in

conjunction with other sporting events, as well as providing alumni support to WAOC activities.

OCWA Water Polo Sundowner

On the 18th April the OCWA held its second Sundowner at the Melville Water Polo Club, in conjunction

with their VIP and sponsors evening. The event was run in conjunction with the National Water Polo

League Matches between Fremantle and the QLD Breakers. The function was a wonderful opportunity

for our WA Olympians to catch up while enjoying a fabulous evening of competition, lovely food and a

beautiful Perth sunset.

2012), Kate Jenner (Hockey 2012) were among a group of 8 athletes visiting 14 Schools, facilitating 9

ng approximately 2,300

people, travelling to the towns of Northam, York, Merredin and Narrogin. Social Media was popular again

with #champions2country.

OCWA Facebook Page

The OCWA Facebook page continues to provide an extra platform to connect alumni that are keen to enjoy

each other's company, stay involved in OCWA events and rekindle the spirit of the Olympics within each and

every Western Australian Olympian.

OCWA Sundowner

On the 20th October Olympians gathered at the new WAIS High Performance Service Centre for the

Olympian Sundowner, a great chance to catch up with old friends. Guests were taken on a private tour of

the $33m high performance centre by Steve Lawrence, WAIS Executive Director and were able to see first-

hand the amazing resources and equipment available to athletes today, the recovery pools and altitude

training facility a highlight. Greg Kaeding, President of the WAOC, and Danielle Woodhouse, OCWA

Executive, provided an update on Rio Olympic preparations and the fundraising events in the pipeline.

39


(a) Basis of preparation

The Executive has determined that in order for the financial report to give a true and fair

Australian Accounting Standards and other financial reporting requirements in Australia relating to the measurement of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and equity should be complied with.

(iii) The financial report is prepared in Australian dollars.

(b) Statement of compliance

Certain Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations have recently been issued or amended but are not yet effective and have not been adopted by the Council for the annual reporting period ended 31 December 2015. The Executive has not early adopted any of these new or amended standards or interpretations. The Executive has not yet fully assessed the impact of these new or amended standards (to the extent relevant to the Council) and interpretations. This special purpose financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards as described above.

(c) Income and expenditure recognition

Income, with the exception of fundraising, has been brought to account on an accrual basis and if not received at balance date is reflected in the statement of financial position as a receivable. Income received at balance date that is in relation to future years is brought to account as unearned income. Expenses have been brought to account as incurred and any expenses incurred but not paid for at balance date are reflected in the Statement of Financial Position as creditors.

At 31 December 2015, the WAOC had raised $405,475 for the 2013 2016 Olympic Team Appeal (2014: had a realised deficit ($5,354) for the 2013 2016 Olympic Team Appeal).

and, as a result, all net fundraising revenue raised by the WAOC is recorded directly in the financial statements of the AOC. WAOC does not have a bank account and for administrative purposes, all cash transactions are processed by the AOC. The net cash position is reflected in a net receivable account at year end (refer note 5).

(h) Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables, which generally have 30 90 day terms, are recognised and carried out at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off when identified.

(i) Plant and equipment Acquisitions Items of plant and equipment are recorded at cost or, in the case of donations and sponsorship contributions in kind, at fair value at the time of donation or contribution, less accumulated depreciation and any impaired value. Depreciation and amortisation Items of plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight line method over their estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 5 years from the date of acquisition. Impairment The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets are written down to their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Value in use is the depreciated replacement cost of an asset when the future

cash inflows and where the Council would, if deprived of the asset, replace its remaining future economic benefits. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

(j) Trade and other payables

Expenditure is brought to account on an accruals basis. Any expenses incurred but not paid for at balance date are recorded as payables on the Statement of Financial Position.

(ii) Superannuation

The Council contributes to the AOC group employee superannuation scheme as well as any authorised employee superannuation scheme chosen under Superannuation Legislation Amendment (Choice of Superannuation Funds). Contributions on behalf of employees are based on various percentages of gross salaries and are charged against the Statement of Comprehensive Income when due. All employees in the group employee superannuation scheme are entitled to benefits on retirement of permanent disability. Benefits are payable to nominated beneficiaries on death.

(l) Interest

‘Interest paid’ and ‘Interest received’ are not classified in the Statement of Cash Flows as WAOC has no bank account. Interest recorded and applied in the Statement of Comprehensive Income has been received by the WAOC, based on deposits held by the AOC on behalf of the WAOC. Interest is recorded when received and used in the general operations of the WAOC.

(3) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

In applying the accounting policies the WAOC evaluates judgements, estimates and assumptions based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events.
