<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nCategorisation of Athletes<\/strong><\/summary>\nHow an elite athlete is defined will vary across the university sector. Typically universities will support elite athletes within Australia whom are categorised by their respective National Sporting Organisation (NSO) and may also be on scholarship within the network of sport institutes and academies across Australia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u200bAthletes who fall outside of this cohort must be identified and recognised, or be a member of one of the following organisations as an ‘elite athlete or coach’:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Australian Institute of Sport<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- State Institutes or Academies of Sport<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- AFL Players\u2019 Association<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Australian Cricketers\u2019 Association<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Rugby Union Players\u2019 Association<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Rugby League Professionals\u2019 Association<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Australian Professional Footballers\u2019 Association<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- National squad members from Australian Sports Commission funded sports<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n
