The WPA High Performance vision is “For the Stingers and Sharks to Win Well at Olympic Games to inspire Australia” and our purpose is to “provide the environments which sustainably enable the Stinges and Sharks to Win Well when it matters” and “to provide the environments which sustainably enable a pipeline of high-quality athletes to be ready for Stingers and Sharks selection.”

The WPA High Performance Program supports both the current and future cycle Stingers and Sharks and relies on partnerships with key stakeholders including the Australian Institute of Sport and the National Institute Network (NIN). All programs are de-centralised most of the time with a key role of the HP program being to embed a nationally integrated and coordinated approach to assist the development and progression of our categorised athletes to ensure sustainable success of both the Stingers and Sharks.

The purpose of this role is to work collaboratively with Water Polo Australia member Associations, identified athletes, coaches and SIS/SAS partners to ensure quality National Athlete Performance Pathways are developed and delivered across Australia that develop future Stingers and Sharks. You will do this by leading and managing both the Strategics objectives and National Technical direction of the National Performance Pathways Program within Water Polo Australia’s High Performance Unit.
