What this means for athletes:

This expansion means that along with all NSWIS athletes / scholarship holders and staff being supported, their family and friends’ network will now be offered support if needed as well.

We encourage and invite athletes who would like support to reach out to either NSWIS Performance Psychology team or the Athlete Wellbeing & Engagement team.
