NASS

About NASS

Australian Athletics' (AA) National Athlete Support Structure (NASS) is a system that supports Australian athletes who have demonstrated the greatest potential to achieve AA's and the AIS's targets at Olympic Games, Paralympic Games, World Championships and Commonwealth Games.

The NASS selection process identifies athletes and uses the AIS categorisation to place each selected athlete within a nationally tiered support model. This categorisation model is then applied through AA’s delivery partners – the relevant member of the National Institute Network (NIN).

Under the AIS athlete categorisation model, to be prioritised for support an athlete must demonstrate potential for future success; past results are not the sole consideration, especially at the initial levels of NASS. AA will review NASS selections every six months, through a NASS Selection Meeting, usually after the Australian domestic season, and after the international season / benchmark event (BME).
