Athlete Development & High Performance
Athlete Development
The Athlete development Program aims to fast-track Basic Novice to Advanced Novice level skaters to Junior International level as well as extend their competitive experience overseas.
Through the provision of training camps and specialised educational opportunities, the program aims to strengthen the level of competition and raise the standard of skating.
Extending opportunities to skaters to compete in junior and development competitions overseas will serve to extend their competitive experiences and further their personal development as athletes.
ISA encourages each state association to support and contribute to athlete development through local development programs and initiatives.
High Performance
The High Performance (HP) Program will support athletes who demonstrate the ability to succeed at a high level in Junior or Senior International Championships. The program will strive to advance the athletes’ placings in International Championships to rank in the top 12 at the World Championships across a number of disciplines.
The HP program aims to:
Deliver athletes to the Olympic Winter Institute for 2026 Olympic Winter Games.
Develop and prepare elite athletes for improved results at International Championship events.
Provide support for athletes representing Australia at international events.

Apply for international competition via the Athlete Application Forms or have your questions answered in our FAQ lists. We encourage all skaters with a qualifying TES score to enter several events. For BN and IN the maximum is 3, for AN the maximum is 5. As the rankings are dynamic you never know when your rank will move up or move down. While we generally have only 2 places per event we can request more and at some events we have more spots.
