CHAIR’S REPORT
After a year of considerable change for
Gymnastics Victoria (GV) in 2013, the Board
was looking forward to a more stable year in
2014 under our new Chief Executive Officer
(CEO), Jamie Parsons. At the commencement
of the year, the Board confirmed the strategic
objectives for 2014 based on the key themes
of consolidation and growth. Our major focus
areas for 2014 were:
• Developing a culture of customer service
and improving our reputation with clubs
and members
• Continuing to run high quality
gymnastics events
• Increasing the number of judges and
coaches by providing more education
courses of higher quality
• Acting as a model organisation for inclusion
and influencing more clubs to become
more inclusive
• Supporting our own High Performance
Centre and other high performance
clubs to excel at local, national and
international events
• Improving our financial performance and
growing our financial reserves.
I am very pleased to report that most of
our objectives were achieved. In terms of
highlights, the Annual Club Satisfaction
Survey showed a significant increase in the
satisfaction of clubs with GV and this was
a key factor in supporting membership
growth of almost 7% during 2014, including
a strong increase in the number of clubs
wanting to affiliate with GV. Our financial
reserves also improved significantly in 2014
due to a considerable surplus which was
largely attributable to a strong focus on cost
management from the executive team. This
enabled GV to keep 2015 member affiliation
fees at the same level as 2014.
10
The past year saw several changes at Board
level. I was very privileged to be elected
as Chair of the Board in early 2014 as part
of a succession plan to enable Julie Sarll,
our long running President, to step down
from the Board later in the year (October).
Julie’s role on the Board was filled by Skev
Seremetis, who comes to us with a strong
commercial background in marketing and
sales leadership. Nick Thornton, another long
standing Board Member and previous Chair
of the Finance Committee, also stepped
down in 2014, to be replaced by Anthony
Johnston. Anthony brings a wealth of finance
and risk experience from a diverse executive
background and has taken on the role of
Chair of the newly formed Finance & Risk
Committee. Sarah Reid did not seek reelection to the Board at the 2014 AGM and
was replaced by Alistair Edgar, who is well
known to the gymnastics community and
has a wealth of experience across gymnastics
administration, club management and high
performance. Thanks also to Sarah for her
great contribution to the Board. Our three
new Board Members are already making
a strong contribution and I look forward
to their ongoing involvement in the years
to come. On behalf of the Board and the gymnastics
community I would like to extend a special
thanks to Julie Sarll and Nick Thornton for
their contribution to GV. Both Julie and Nick
provided great leadership to the Board and
to the organisation for 10 years and 7 years
respectively. Our organisation is better for
having their dedicated involvement and we
are extremely indebted for their contribution.
During 2014, the Board undertook its first
Board evaluation, undertaken independently
by the Australian Sports Commission. This
evaluation reflected favourably on GV relative
CHAIR’S REPORT
(Continued)
to similar sporting organisations and also
provided the Board with a few key areas of
focus for 2015 including development of
our risk framework, improvement in policy
documentation and succession planning for
the GV CEO and key staff. In conclusion, it is clear that gymnastics
is thriving in Victoria and I would like
to thank our clubs, gymnasts, coaches,
judges, volunteers, parents, sponsors and
partners who enable the sport to continue
growing. Special thanks must go to the
Board who are a talented and dedicated
group and who provide great support to
GV CEO Jamie Parsons and to myself as
Board Chair. Finally, thanks to Jamie and the
GV staff who have made 2014 a great success
and who continue to strive for excellence in
everything they do. Roll on 2015!

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER REPORT
CEO, Jamie Parsons
Our mission ‘to promote, develop and grow
gymnastics in an inclusive fulfilling and safe
environment’ continues to provide the focus
for GV and drives us to provide world class
services to our members.
Gymnastics in Victoria continues to grow
and is outstripping almost every other major
participation sport in Victoria for growth in
registered participants. This a great testament
to the people involved in gymnastics
including gymnasts, their families, club
committees, owners, coaches, judges,
volunteers, Technical Committees.
Strategic plan
At the commencement of 2014 the GV Board
set the 2014-2016 Strategic Plan. A change
in staffing structure to align with the
strategic objectives was finalised. Almost
all targets were reached or exceeded. The

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER REPORT
CEO, Jamie Parsons (Continued)
At the end of 2014, the Board reviewed the
current strategic plan and re-set the objectives
for 2015-16 that are currently available on the
GV website.
A customer service focussed
organisation
In 2014, GV significantly increased service
delivery to members and did so with reduced
membership fees, a new staffing structure, and
with the aim of delivering world’s best services
for our members.
This customer service focus will continue to
strengthen into the future.
Clubs
Clubs are the backbone of gymnastics in
Victoria. Each has its own culture, ethos and
approach. With a mix of 8 gymsports and
varying governance structures, each club
provides a wonderful program of gymnastics
in their communities.
Eight new clubs joined GV (with another 9 in
2015). Our ability to compete for family time
against other sports and activities has never
been more important as our ongoing growth
is showing we are doing it better than almost
every other major sport.
Board, Technical Committees
and Working Groups
The GV Board, Technical Committees and
other Working Groups have generously
volunteered their time and experience to
assist the organisation and we would not be
able to achieve what we do without their
guidance and passion. As an organisation
we are extremely fortunate to have the
level of professional skills and experience
that we currently enjoy on our Board
and Committees.
14
The Technical Directors and Technical
Committees continue to do an outstanding
job. The time, effort and passion of these
people can not be underestimated. I look
forward to continuing to work with them.
Partners
GV extended our list of partners. Our partners
are a critically important part of the success
of gymnastics in Victoria. We would like to
thank VicHealth, State Government of Victoria,
Melbourne Polytechnic, Swinburne University,
GK, Chalk and Gymnastics Australia who were
all very important to GV continuing to develop
as an organisation.
GV and our affiliated clubs have been recognised
for their hard work and commitment to
competitive gymnastics, increasing participation
and creating welcoming and inclusive clubs and
environments for everyone in the community.
In 2014, GV was recognised as a leader in sport
development by winning the 2014 Victorian
Sport Award (Best Sports Development
Initiative by an Affiliated Vicsport Member)
and the 2014 Disability Sport and Recreation
(Inclusive Initiative of the Year) Award for the
Inclusive Club Guidelines. Gymnastics clubs
in Victoria won a number of awards this year,
such as Maffra Gymnastics Club winning
the 2014 VicHealth Award in the category of
‘Building Health through Sport’.
We would also like to thank the Victorian
Institute of Sport, Janssen & Fritsen (AMCO),
Think, 2XU, 3rd Level Consulting, The
Gymnastics Foundation and HR Plus for their
ongoing support.
At the start of 2015 we welcomed two new
sponsors to GV – EziDebit and our official GV
Hotel Park Regis and we look forward to our
ongoing relationship.
Financial
The financial outcome in 2014 was very
pleasing and testament to the changes in
the organisation and the high calibre of
our staffing team. After a significant loss in
2013 we were able to turn that around with
a strong emphasis on financial control and
expanding and diversifying our revenue
generating activities.
GV appointed Deloitte Australia as our
new auditors in 2015. Their professionalism
and thorough approach has assisted us to
strengthen our financial system for the future.
Government support continues to grow, our
commercial capability is strengthening and
with increasing financial reserves we have the
foundation for an organisation that reduces
its reliance on traditional membership
registration fees. By the end of 2015, we
will have seen a significant reduction in
average participant fees per member. At the
same time our organisational reserves will
have grown.
Finally thank you to our passionate and
wonderful staff whose commitment and
passion for gymnastics has been outstanding.
Our senior management team in 2014 of
Jacqui Godfrey, Alison Lyons, Brad Edwards
and Greg Corsiglia all contributed an
enormous amount during the year and
provided the leadership to ensure a successful
2014. In 2015, we also welcomed Alan
MacKinnon, Finance and Administration
Manager, who has already proved to be an
invaluable resource to our sport.
I am looking forward to the future and
Gymnastics in Victoria continuing to grow.
Thank you
Thank you to everyone who has contributed
to GV in 2014. We look forward to continuing
to serve our more than 40,000 members and
110 clubs.
A special thank you to the GV Board whose
guidance and support has been invaluable
to the development of Gymnastics in Victoria
and in particular, Michael O’Neill who as the
Board Chair provides outstanding leadership
for our sport.

FINANCE REPORT
Anthony Johnston
Following a year of significant organisational
change in 2013, the past year has been one
of consolidation for GV. In our Finance Report
last year we advised that the various changes
undertaken during the year had strengthened
GV despite the deficit recorded for the year.
I am pleased to report that GV has returned
to a stronger financial performance in 2014,
recording a surplus of $244,239, compared
to a deficit of $138,961 in 2013. The excellent
result was generated through a solid increase
in revenue and a strong focus on cost
management. Notwithstanding the excellent
financial performance in 2014, when comparing
the result with 2013 it should be remembered
that the 2013 result was negatively impacted by
a number of one off costs.
While the revenue growth of 3.8% was
pleasing in a challenging environment, of
greater significance was the work commenced
in 2013 and continued in 2014 to diversify
GV’s income streams and reduce reliance on
membership fees. While membership numbers
increased strongly in 2014, fees in real terms
have reduced per member over the past two
years, resulting in relatively flat membership
fee income in 2014. During the year there was
a re-orienting of income streams to Events
(a reflection of an increase in gymnasts at GV
events) and Workforce Development. With
the implementation of the new coaching
framework during 2013, additional coaching
courses were implemented in 2014, resulting
in an increase in course income. In addition,
GV’s focus on continuing to strengthen its
relationships with Government and nonGovernment partners resulted in an increase in
funding from Government sources.
16
In the Finance Report last year we commented
that deficit outcomes are not sustainable
and outlined the Board’s commitment to
building the financial reserves of GV. It is
therefore pleasing to report a 6.9% reduction in
expenditure in 2014. Management should be
congratulated on its strong cost management
focus while still being able to deliver enhanced
services to our members. In 2014 GV realigned
its organisational structure to better match
the needs of the gymnastics community and
following a restructure early in 2014 there were
staff savings across a number of areas of the
organisation. Other operational cost savings
over the year included event delivery, office
expenses and information technology. While
cost management will continue to be a focus, it
is not expected the magnitude of cost savings
achieved in 2014 will be repeated in 2015.
It is pleasing that the stronger 2014
performance has enabled the Board to provide
a tangible benefit to our members through a
zero increase in 2015 membership fees.
Through the vastly improved financial
performance in 2014 GV has been able to
rebuild its equity position from $222,092
to $466,331, going some way to restoring
appropriate reserves in line with industry
practice and providing GV with enhanced
flexibility for future investment in commercial
activities. It is expected the equity position
will improve further in financial year 2015 as
a solid surplus has been budgeted, although
it is not expected the surplus level of 2014
will be replicated. While GV’s cash position at
the end of the financial year was very healthy,
the year end number of $821,474 needs to
be considered in light of substantial trade
payments made in the first week of the 2015
financial year.
In addition to the good surplus result and
strengthened financial position, there were a
number of other notable achievements in the
finance area during 2014. These included:
• The appointment of new auditors (Deloitte)
whose vast experience with sporting and
not-for-profit organisations has already been
of benefit to GV.
• Enhanced management reporting providing
more timely and informed financial reports
for management, the Finance and Risk
Committee and the Board.
• Strengthened accounting practices and
treatments following a review initiated
by the Finance & Risk Committee. Further
strengthening the organisation’s internal
controls will continue to be a focus of the
Committee in 2015 to ensure industry best
practice is attained and maintained.
• The introduction of greater financial
expertise and experience within GV’s
management team.
With these and other finance initiatives in
2014, GV’s finance function has now lifted to a
new level of professionalism.
Given the amount of work required and
undertaken in the finance function during the
year, we were unable to achieve all of the risk
management goals set by the Committee in
2014. Governing the risk of the organisation
will be a clear focus in 2015.
Finally, I would like to thank our CEO, Jamie
Parsons, and the Head Office team for their
dedicated work throughout the year. Their
day-to-day management of the finances and
support of the Committee was a key factor
in the strong finance performance in 2014. I
would also like to thank Committee members
Tanya Johansen, David Hill and Michael
O’Neill for their support, hard work and strong
guidance to management.

MEN’S GYMNASTICS
Paul Thanas, Technical Director
International Representatives
Senior International
In 2014, a number of Men’s Artistic Gymnastics
(MAG) gymnasts represented Australia on
the international stage. All of these gymnasts
train at the Victorian Men’s High Performance
Centre (VMHPC) and competed across three
key events. These were:
• 2014 Pacific Rim Gymnastics Championships
(Canada): Jayden Bull and Luke Wiwatowski
• 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games
(Scotland): Jack Rickards, Luke Wadsworth,
Sean O’Hara and Kent Pieterse
• 45th FIG Artistic Gymnastics World
Championships (China): Sean O’Hara, Luke
Wadsworth and Luke Wiwatowski
While the gymnasts didn’t qualify for finals
across the three events, the gymnasts should
be congratulated on their professionalism and
competitive spirit.
• Team Final, 1st place: Jayden Bull, Luke
Wiwatowski, Sean O’Hara, Luke Wadsworth
and Jack Rickards
• Team Final, 3rd place: Caelan Bacon, Lachlan
Fitzgerald, Julian Caser and Jimmy Macarios
• Floor Individual Apparatus Final: Jayden Bull
(2nd place), Kent Pieterse (3rd place)
• Vault Individual Apparatus Final: Kent
Pieterse (3rd place)
• Parallel Bars Individual Apparatus Final: Luke
Wadsworth (3rd place)
• High Bar Individual Apparatus Final: Luke
Wadsworth (3rd place)
Australian Gymnastics
Championships
The Victorian Men’s Gymnastics Team
performed very well at the 2014 Australian
Gymnastics Championships and some excellent
results were achieved, with a large number of
gymnasts making Olympic and National Squads
as a result of their performance.
Senior Men’s Team again won this division
showing the strength Victoria has in the Senior
division with being able to provide two senior
teams for this division.The State Team finished
2nd overall in the Cheales-Williamson Shield
competition, which is the same result as the
competition held in 2012 and 2013.
An impressive 52 gymnasts from 7 Victorian
clubs represented the state at the competition,
so it was an impressive display and result for
Men’s Gymnastics. Some of the key results are
outlined below.
18
Level 9 Open
Team Final, 3rd place: Jace Knights, Anthony
Dorrington and Jaze Dubois
Level 8 Under
Team Final, 2nd place: Ruben Chitters, Heath
Thorpe, Hudson Irwin and Billy Mclean
Hudson Irwin: All Around (3rd place), Parallel
Bars (3rd place) and High Bar (3rd place)
State Squads
The State Squad format continues to evolve
from season to season. It is expected that the
change in State Levels will aid the development
of gymnasts striving to move from State Team
selection to National Team selection.
MEN’S GYMNASTICS
Paul Thanas, Technical Director (Continued)
Tech Committee Awards
Luke Wadsworth received the 2014 Technical
Committee Senior Athlete of the Year award
and the GV Victorian Male Gymnast of the
Year award. Scott Brooks also received Tech
Committee Junior Athlete of the Year.
Ten gymnasts in total from the VMHPC, BTYC

WOMEN’S GYMNASTICS
Sue Synnot, Technical Director
The first half of 2014 began with The
Women’s Artistic Gymnastics (WAG) Technical
Information Day, which focused on the
implementation of the new Australian Levels
Program in 2015. The forum was led by Jackie
Caldwell and Ross Bouskill and there was some
terrific discussion among the group. This was
very well received as were the awards voted
by the WAG community presented on the day.
The Technical Assembly followed.
The 2014 Combined Victorian Championships
was held at the State Netball & Hockey Centre.
Again the event was very successful although
there were some very long days put in by
some judges and coaches and I thank them for
their tireless contribution to our sport.
The 2014 Australian Gymnastics
Championships for both International Stream
and National Stream gymnasts was held over
two weeks at Hisense Arena in Melbourne in
May. The gymnasts representing Victoria did
a fantastic job and again we came away with
some terrific results.

WOMEN’S GYMNASTICS
Sue Synnot, Technical Director (Continued)
Congratulations to all Victorian gymnasts,
coaches and officials on these excellent results.
During the year, the following Victorian
gymnasts represented Australia at the 2014
Glasgow Commonwealth Games: Larissa Miller,
Mary-Anne Monckton, Georgia-Rose Brown
(Reserves - Madeleine Leydin, Kiara Munteanu).
We congratulate them on their selection and
success, with the gymnasts wining a Team
Silver Medal; Larrissa Miller winning a Silver
Medal in the Uneven Bars Individual Apparatus
Final; and Mary-Anne Monckton winning a
Silver Medal in the Balance Beam Individual
Apparatus Final.
State Pennant this year was held with each
level being held at the one venue and not
divided geographically. There was also 2
regional events where teams could qualify
as the “wild card” entry to the State Pennant
finals which were held in August, with the top
6 teams from the Metro event and the 2 wild
card teams competing at each level.
The 2014 Women’s Gymnastics Victorian
Championships for National Level 4 and 5 and
State Level 6 - 10 were held with team events
in October and finals in November at The
Arena in Geelong alongside the Gymnastics
Australia National Clubs Championship.
I would like to thank the GV Board, CEO
and GV staff for their work throughout the
year and in particular the events team who
have worked hard with the WAG Technical
Committee (TC) to produce high quality
events. I would also like to thank the
members of the WAG TC for their tireless work
over the past year to improve and promote
Women’s Gymnastics in Victoria.

The 2014 Family Ball & Awards Night was
a wonderful event in early 2015, which
showcased all the Gymsports and a terrific
night. The Women’s Gymnastics Award of
Excellence recipients presented on that
night for 2014 were: Meagan Silvers, MYC
Gymnastics, Rachel Williams, Larrissa Miller
and Alysha Duric.
We look forward to 2015 and the highlights
and challenges it will bring. One which
I am sure will again showcase Women’s
Gymnastics in Victoria.

RHYTHMIC GYMNASTICS
Sharyn Kemp, Technical Director
Rhythmic Gymnastics in Victoria experienced
a varied year in 2014. In January, 2 elite
Rhythmic Gymnastics (RG) gymnasts and one
coach were selected as part of the Australian
team competing at the 2014 Pacific Rim
Gymnastics Championships. Although no
medals were won, the girls could be very
proud of their results. Unfortunately we did
not achieve the results we wished at the 2014
Australian Gymnastics Championships overall
although we still had some good results. Junior
International gymnast Ying Cui Chan finished in
2nd place in the Ribbon Apparatus while Level
8 Junior gymnast Alexandra Kiroi placed in the
Hoop Apparatus (3rd place), Club Apparatus
(2nd place), Ribbon Apparatus (2nd place) and
All Around (2nd place). Level 9 Junior Silvia
Valente gained our only Gold medal in Ribbon,
and also placed All Around (3rd place). In 2014,
progress was being made in the education
space with all coaches and judges courses
rolled out with course dates and times being
confirmed. Unfortunately, FIG released some
major changes to the RG Code of Points, and
as a result Gymnastics Australia (GA) put all
courses on hold until they are reviewed. Luckily
22
we managed to re-accredit all our Judges for
the new cycle before the courses were put
on hold but look forward to advancing the
accreditation levels once the new courses
are available. With the introduction of the RG
Foundation Level, many enthusiastic coaches
and parents have attended the Beginners
Judging Course. This has increased our Beginner
Judges numbers by 25%.
We only managed to hold one Intermediate
Coaching Course before the halt and we have
a large number of coaches ready to advance
to higher levels as soon as possible. We have
also had many older gymnasts at several
Beginner Coaching Courses and they are now
all active in their clubs.
The number of gymnasts competing in all
levels, but especially the lower levels has
increased and this means that several of our
competitions that were previously held on
one day now need to be held over two days
instead. We are also retaining the majority of
our gymnasts moving into Level 7 and above.
RG has also included Aesthetic Group
Gymnastics (AGG), which is similar to Group
routines but without apparatus. It is very
early days yet but several Victorian clubs have
begun incorporating AGG into their classes.
This could also be a viable extension for
gymnasts from other disciplines who would
still love to compete but are disadvantaged by
age, size or lack of training time.
I would like to thank the RG TC members
for all their hard work, and Jamie and all the
staff at GV for all their assistance in my first
year as Technical Director. And of course,
Clare Hanlon, our Board member, who has
shown so much interest in our sport and has
so ably assisted in prioritising our aims and
goals in our Strategic Plan.
AEROBIC GYMNASTICS
Vicky Henty, Technical Director
Aerobic Gymnastics (AG) has continued
to develop and evolve with a focus on
participation at entry level and excellence at
elite level. Victoria is fortunate to now have
members on the AG National Commission and
so have the opportunity to shape and direct
the sport’s development.
AG in Victoria has had another successful
year of events with 3 Club invitational
events, 2 State Team trials and a 3 day State
Championships at the State Hockey & Netball
Centre, which included the 2014 Primary
and Secondary Aeroskools event. All events
were once again extremely popular with a
record number of competitors representing
Victoria at the 2014 Australian Aerobic
Gymnastics and the 2014 Aeroskools National
Championships. A dedicated and stable
Technical Committee, committed coaches
and judges, ensure that Victoria is successful
at National Level competition and that
gymnasts progress to representing Australia
at International Level.
The Victorian State Aerobic Gymnastics
team performed particularly well at the
2014 Australian Aerobic Championships.
Nine gymnasts were selected onto the
National Squad and a further 15
gained selection onto the National
Development Squad. Victorian
gymnasts and coaches were
selected to represent Australia at
all International competitions,
including two gymnasts
at the 2014 World
Aerobic Gymnastics
Championships,
which was a huge
achievement.
Victorians won
Gymnastics Australia
awards in the categories
of: Coach of the Year, Official of the Year,
Senior Athlete of the Year and Levels
Athlete of the Year.
Judges courses were very well attended this
year with many judges seeking reaccreditation
and advancement of their qualifications. Those
who participated all successfully completed
Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced and
Advanced Silver courses. There was also an
increase in the number of new judges in AG
and it was particularly pleasing to see our elite
athletes begin to take on roles on the judging
panels. Our judges were able to gain experience
and provide their expertise at local, state,
interstate, national and international events
this year. Special mention to Lana Roden and
Judith Gillen who were both selected to judge
at international events. Further congratulations
must go to Judith Gillen who not only was
elected as the Judging Coordinator on National
Commission in 2014 but who also received
the Official of the Year Award at National
Championships for her commitment to the
sport. Our focus for 2015 is to maintain the
healthy judging pool numbers by providing
further opportunities for education and
experience and to also encourage, recruit and
support our smaller clubs into judging.
It has also been a very impressive year for
Victorian aerobic gymnasts and coaches. Victoria
ran the only Intermediate Aerobic Coaches
Course in Australia, which was very well received
and was a great refresher and up-skill for many
new and existing coaches. The High Performance
program was successful providing a valuable
opportunity for high performance gymnasts
to participate in workshops with a variety of
specialist coaches, presenters and judges.
The AG Technical Committee would like to
thank GV for their time and effort in helping the
committee to perform their roles and support
them to continue to develop the sport.

TRAMPOLINE GYMNASTICS
Jennifer O’Connor, Technical Director
The 2014 Australian Gymnastics
Championships was held in Victoria for
the first time in some years. Our gymnasts
came away with some great results, which
are outlined below. We generously thank
the Team Management and all officials
representing this state for their contribution,
without it we could not function as a team.
We look forward to another home based
championship in 2015.
Individual Trampoline
Youth International Men: William McGrath
(1st place)
Synchronised Trampoline
Junior International Men: Alex Dillon and
Cameron Scott (2nd place)
Junior International Women: Georgia
McMahon and Olivia Davies (3rd place)

was held at the State Netball & Hockey
Centre in conjunction with the Trampoline
Gymnastics (TRP) TC and GV. The TRP TC
would like to thank Cheltenham Youth Club
for co-hosting along with all the volunteers
who made the Championship a success. We
would also like to acknowledge the support of
Jacqui Godfrey and Cathy Lorenzin from GV for
helping deliver a great competition.
24
The successful move to
incorporate the Victorian
Levels All Stars Challenge into
the Victorian Championships
program for 2014 has seen the
continued growth in our sport
and will continue for 2015, as the
Championships is held again at the State
Netball & Hockey Centre.
Our gymnasts had outstanding results in
two international competitions this year
starting with a very successful 2014 Indo
Pacific Championships in Sun City South
Africa with representation from the following
athletes: Emily O’Connor, Alex Dillon,
William McGrath, Aiden Winder and Harrison
Tullberg. Our athletes came away with a
swag of gold, silver and bronze medals and
we congratulate them on their selection
and success.
The 2014 World Championships was also
held in Daytona, Florida USA represented
by Emily O’Connor (10th Place) and Ryan
Hatfield (27th Place) both for Double Mini
Trampoline apparatus.
Congratulations to the five athletes who were
selected to the TRP National Squad: William
McGrath, Alex Dillon and Cameron Scott in
the Junior National Squad, Emily O’Connor
and Ryan Hatfield.
I wish to thank the TRP TC including Louisa
Phillipson, Sarah Hiesler, Marian McGrath,
Sophie Swain, Adrian Wareham, Mark
Nimmervol and our first regional member
Emma Carmody. Thank you to Jamie Parsons
and all the staff at GV for their continued
support of TRP in Victoria.
ACROBATIC GYMNASTICS
Wendy Treble, Technical Director
Victoria sent 10 groups/pairs as well as
supporting coaches and judges to the 2014
Australian Gymnastics Championships, which
proved to be a small but very strong team. This
team was quite successful, with three pairs
taking gold and most teams finishing in the Top
4. A fantastic effort and one that Victoria clubs
can be very proud of, given the size of the team.
The physical testing introduced in 2013 has
overall, not been well received by the community
as they felt that they had been addressing that
area, especially in conjunction with the specific
skill sets each group/pair were performing. To
ensure positivity in the process of the state team
selection process the Acrobatic Gymnastics
Technical Committee (AG TC) reviewed and
compared results at Nationals verses the
physical testing results and found there was no
correlation between them. Those groups/pairs
that gained high results in the physical testing
did not translate to medal placing at Nationals.
Those with low results did medal.
Upon additional review and discussion it was
agreed that Artistry is the biggest area that
Victoria as a whole could improve upon not
the performance of skills or physical testing.
Thus for 2014-2015 the AG TC will ensure this
area is addressed and the community is offered
opportunities to communicate more clearly, learn
from offered workshops and move the sport
forward and hopefully assist with performances
at the Australian Gymnastics Championships and
the National Clubs Championships.
It has been encouraging to see coaches, athletes
and judges welcome interstate workshop
presenters to Victoria. These presenters have
created a neutral learning environment and
taught participants more about the application
of FIG rules for Acrobatic Gymnastics. The 2015
Selection Policy was also updated to assist
officials in their role, grow the Acrobatic State
Team and make the selection requirements
clearer for coaches, their gymnasts and the
wider community. The policy was released
very early to ensure all relevant persons were
aware of the changes and new requirements.
Victoria AG Clubs and GV run great events and
we are seeing an increase in participation from
interstate gymnastics clubs. This is a boost to
our sport as we have reasonably low numbers
so these interstate relationships are something
that the AG TC and the community should
continue to foster as the end result increases the
standard and profile of the sport in Victoria. To
also increase participation the AG TC is looking
to add to a display category to our premier
competition. Additionally AG has now been
included in the 2015 InterSchool Gymnastics
competition to assist with promoting our sport
to Primary and Secondary schools. Thank you
to Alan Keating for working with GV events to
facilitate these changes.
Our 10 activity event is something the AG
community should be very proud of growing in
2014. Further emphasis will be given to the event
in the future as it has the potential to increase
the number of athletes into our sport. The NSMC
have just released a new version of the L1-3A
ALP – this is based on the NSW system.
The ALP manual is a great tool for all clubs as it’s
easier to understand and implement. The TC is
looking forward to working with GV in 2015 to get
this into more clubs and boost our participation.
I would also like to note and welcome new
clubs into the AG community: Belle Etudes in
Bendigo and SPC Gymsports in Ballarat. Lastly, I
would like to thank the AG TC members, GV staff,
Board Member David Hill and the community for
the support you have given me during my first
year as Technical Director. Let us all continue to
work together – keep communication clear and
create more opportunities to give more people
in Victoria the chance to be involved in this
incredible sport.

THE
GYMNASTICS
FOUNDATION
Emma Kelly - Development Manager
The Gymnastics Foundation was established in
2009 to raise and distribute funds to encourage
participation in Victorian gymnastics and to
grow the sport in an environment of excellence.
The Foundation is separate to, but works closely
with, Gymnastics Victoria.
The Gymnastics Foundation helps deserving
cases of gymnastic endeavour of all kinds which
might not succeed without financial assistance.
Since the Foundation commenced its annual
grants program in 2010, more than $35,000 has
been distributed to Victorian clubs. Past grants
have been awarded for equipment and club
infrastructure and to develop athletes, coaches,
judges, officials and administrators.
The Foundation is managed by a Board
of Honorary Directors: Associate Professor
Geoff Sussman OAM (Chair), Mr John Higgins
(Treasurer) and Mr Murray Chessell OAM.
Our Mission is to:
1. assist gymnastics clubs to develop and
promote Gymsports, thereby enhancing
participation and performance in Victoria;

situations or special needs;
3. encourage philanthropy from members of
the gymnastics and wider communities.
The Year in Review
2014 saw work continuing steadily behind
the scenes to increase awareness of the
Foundation within the Victorian gymnastics
community. The Directors identified the need
for the Foundation to improve its online
presence as a priority. Following a review
of the existing Foundation pages within
the Gymnastics Victoria website, a project
commenced to create a new stand-alone
website. Of primary importance was creating
an online donation facility linked into the
Australian Sports Foundation, through which
32
the Gymnastics Foundation is able to accept
tax deductible donations. Due for completion
in the early part of 2015, this long-awaited
initiative will simplify the donation process
significantly and will undoubtedly raise the
profile of the Foundation
Income from investment was reduced due to
the prevailing lower interest rate environment.
The Directors spent some time examining how
the Foundation could ensure its sustainability
whilst still supporting clubs through its grant
process. The outcome of these discussions was
an improved term deposit arrangement being
sought and implemented, and the firm resolve
to secure additional funding during 2015.
The wider community will be approached in
this fundraising effort but the support of the
Victorian Gymnastics Community will be vital to
achieving a healthy future for the Foundation.
A particular highlight of the year was the
Foundation’s involvement with the inaugural
Gymnastics Victoria Family Ball and Awards
Night in February. The Foundation was
the recipient of the net proceeds from the
evening’s ticket sales and from the raffle. At
the event Foundation Director and GV Life
Patron Murray Chessell spoke on behalf of the
Foundation and promotional material was
placed at each attendee’s seat. A wonderful
total of $2,967 was raised. The Foundation is
particularly grateful to Gymnastics Victoria CEO
Jamie Parsons who suggested the concept
and the Board Members of Gymnastics Victoria
who wholeheartedly supported it – both in
principle and financially.
The Foundation appointed a new Director in
November 2014. Long-serving Gymnastics
Victoria Board Member and immediate past
President Julie Sarll will formally join the
Foundation in January 2015 and will bring
valuable insight and many years of management
expertise in the sport sector to the Foundation.
Thank you to our Supporters
A number of people make a significant
contribution the Foundation, enabling it
to run without incurring operational costs.
The Directors acknowledge and thank the
Gymnastics Foundation’s Development
Manager Emma Kelly who manages the
day-to-day running of the Foundation on a
pro-bono basis. Gymnastics Victoria provides
office space and CEO Jamie Parsons and his
team support the Foundation with time and
expertise. Gymnastics Victoria assists with
preparing the annual financial statements for
the Foundation and Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu
provide auditing services on a pro-bono basis.
Donations to the Gymnastics
Foundation
Donations over $2 are tax deductable, through
our arrangement with the Australian Sports
Foundation. The Australian Sports Foundation
(ASF) was established by the federal government
to assist organisations raise funds through public
and corporate donations for the development
of sport in Australia. The Foundation’s
important partnership with the ASF will
continue to strengthen as both organisations
further develop their online presence.
The Foundation thanks all our donors for 2014,
especially:
Gold Donor – Gymnastics Victoria Awards Night
Silver Donor – J. Parsons
equipment upgrades, programs that support
disadvantaged children and youth and
regional and small clubs.
The Directors selected 10 clubs to be the
recipients of grants of up to $1,000 this year:

2014 Grants
The Foundation received a record number
of grant applications from GV affiliated clubs
in 2014. It was very encouraging to see this
increase and it demonstrates an improved
awareness of the work of the Foundation in
the Victorian gymnastics community.
The focus of grants for the year was on safety

GYMNASTICS DEVELOPMENT
Alison Lyons, Gymnastics Development Manager
It was another successful year for GV in
2014, with a 6.71% increase in membership.
Registered athlete increased from 37 017 to
39 500 overall. Of these athletes, 77% were
female and 22.9% were male. More than 3500
people with Disability are participating in
Gymnastics in Victoria through schools, clubs
and external programs. Waverley Gymnastics
Centre again recorded the most registered
members with 1703. Other top preforming
clubs included: Jets Gymnastics Eltham,
Footscray City Gym Club as well as Twisters
Gymnastics Club, which recorded the highest
number of new registrations.
A new membership fee structure was also
introduced in 2014, which has enabled GV to
keep fees low for all affiliated gymnastics clubs.
Affiliation
GV welcomed 8 new clubs to the gymnastics
community in 2014. Affiliated gymnastics
clubs included:
• Aerodynamic
• Aerobic Gymnastics
• Belle Etudes Pty Ltd
• Flipping Fit
• Palmers Gym
• Sapphire Coast Academy
• St Patrick’s College Gymsports
34
Club Development
The Gymnastics Development Team focused
heavily on customer service and delivering
individualised service to each of the Victorian
clubs. We increased club visits from 80+ in
2013 to over 600 in 2014 and increased our
presence in the community.
GV continued to successfully support clubs
in the areas of participation and inclusion.
12 clubs became leader clubs in inclusion by
completing the inclusive club guidelines and
supporting others in the community. More
inclusive opportunities were offered to clubs
and participants.
In 2014, 16 new clubs became LaunchPad
accredited, which increased the total
number of LaunchPad accredited clubs
in Victoria to 40. LaunchPad clubs have
the capacity to promote the benefits of
gymnastics to their members and are seen
as leaders in participation.
In addition, 16 GV clubs participated in a state
wide Come and Try Campaign with 32 classes
held across Victoria.
GYMNASTICS DEVELOPMENT
Alison Lyons, Gymnastics Development Manager (Continued)
GV also continued to partner with industry
experts to deliver support and services for
Victorian Clubs. HR Plus continued to provide
support to clubs by developing and providing
samples of best practice agreements, awards
and policies. Some of these were:
• Employment Agreements
• Alignment of Coaching Qualifications
to Fitness Industry Award Explanatory Document
• Fitness Industry Award (current version)
• Fitness Industry Award – pay rates, penalty
rates & allowances reckoner
• Bullying Policy Fair Work Information Statement
(required to be given to all new staff )
BabyGym program at Palmer’s Gym in Bendigo, Victoria
• Hours of Work Policy
Frank Sahlein from 3rd Level Consulting also
returned to Victoria for the 2014 large Club
Conference in July. Club Owners, Presidents
and Managers of Australia’s largest clubs were
provided with resources to continue to develop
and grow their clubs with best practice ideas
from the Children’s Activity Industry.
The Gymnastics Victoria Development Team
continues to focus on delivering quality
customer service and programs to our affiliated
clubs and we thank you all for contributing to
a very successful 2014. The team looks forward
to working with your in 2015 and developing
Gymnastics at your club and in Victoria.

EVENTS & MARKETING
Jacqui Godfrey, Events & Marketing Manager
It was a year of both growth and consolidation
for the Events & Marketing Team in 2014. As
always, the Victorian gymnastics calendar was
fully-packed with events, initiatives and tours
occurring almost every week of the year. Both
event participation and spectator numbers
have increased from 2013, and we plan to
continue to build in future years.
GV events would not be possible without
our huge team of supporters, whose time,
expertise and tireless efforts contribute to the
execution of high quality events. In particular,
we thank the Technical Committees, Duty
Managers, Logistics and Medical teams, Copresentation Club teams and volunteers for
your support.
The final thank you goes to our valued Silver
sponsors, GK Elite Sportswear and Chalk
Gymnastics Wear. These sponsors contribute
immensely to GV and our community, and
are greatly valued. 2014 marked the end of
our current three-year agreements and we
are thrilled to have both GK and Chalk back
on board, continuing their support in 2015
and beyond.
Highlights of 2014
• In February GV welcomed two new staff
members to the team – Carolyn Jones
(Events & Logistics Officer) and Megan Smith
(Marketing & Communications Officer). Both
staff members have contributed greatly to
GV and have become well-regarded in the
gymnastics community.
• The inaugural Family Ball & Awards night
was a tremendous success, and a fitting
celebration of the successes of Victoria’s
gymnastics community.
• Gymnasts from every single gymsport
represented Australia at 2014 International
competitions or performances.
36
• Victorian experts were at the forefront of the
development of the new WAG Australian
Levels Program (ALP). We are very fortunate
to have a group of such talented and
passionate people in Victoria.
Victorian Events
(including Men’s, Women’s, Rhythmic and
Trampoline Gymnastics) was once again our
premier competition, and a great success.
Due to timing clashes with the National
calendar, unfortunately some of the Women’s
International Stream athletes were unable to
compete. The Elite Victorian Championships,
however, was a highlight in itself. Jets
Gymnastics worked tirelessly to transform the
Community Bank stadium into a gymnastics
arena, and we welcomed Senior athletes from
WA and NSW to compete amongst our best
Women’s gymnasts.
GV reached some key inclusion milestones in
the middle of the year, with a diverse group
of participants competing in both our State
Pennant event series (culminating in the GK
Elite State Pennant Finals & Special Olympics
State Games) and InterSchool Gymnastics.
A team of Special Olympics gymnasts were
also included in displays at each premier
event throughout the year, demonstrating
our slogan “Gymnastics for Everybody” is in
practice at GV events.
The Acrobatic and Aerobic Gymnastics
Victorian Championships were held once
again at the State Netball & Hockey Centre.
As always, this event is a real celebration of
the joy of gymnastics, with a great buzz in the
crowd and among participants.
EVENTS & MARKETING
Jacqui Godfrey, Events & Marketing Manager (Continued)
The 2014 Women’s Victorian Championships
marked the end of an era, as our State Stream
athletes competed one last time within the
current regulations. There was both emotion
and excitement displayed by the State
Stream competitors, as they head into the
new ALP from 2015.
GV’s third and final year of hosting Women’s
National Clubs was hailed as the best ever. We
now look forward to the new era of National
Clubs carnivals, to be hosted by Gymnastics
Australia from 2015.
Across the year GV partnered with 14 Copresentation Clubs to deliver another 28
Tier 2 events across each of our Gymsports.
A further 64 sanctioned Invitationals took
place around the state, engaging clubs
throughout Victoria.
Australian Gymnastics
Championships
Victoria continued its traditional success
at the 2014 Australian Gymnastics
Championships. Our positive team culture
was evident in our team slogan (Go Vics!)
and more importantly through the attitudes
and actions of our team members. Victoria
took home a total of 266 medals, over 40%
of which were gold.
For the first of three years, the MAG, WAG,
RG, TRP and ACR State Teams competed in
Melbourne’s own Hisense Arena. It was great to
have an Australian Gymnastics Championships
in our own backyard and to take advantage of
the opportunity for friends, family and fans to
see our top athletes in action.
We again sent a strong Victorian
contingent to the 2014 Australian Aerobic
Championships in Brisbane. This is our
biggest State team, with over 100 people.
Nearly half of the team achieved a podium
placing – an amazing effort.
We are very proud of all of our State
teams, who are always great ambassadors
for Victoria.
Marketing
It was pleasing to see an increased focus on
Marketing throughout 2014. Principal goals
for the year were to establish formalised
marketing processes, and enhance our
existing events and initiatives with a customer
service focus.
GV embraced social media in 2014, with
a 15% increase in social media followers.
Strong community involvement was a
key achievement, with our social media
engagement of 30% being well above
the industry average. Traditional media
coverage reached an all-time high, with 156
published articles (an average of three per
week) as well as 120 website news articles.
Gymnastics Victoria also featured in two
National news segments on Channel 9 and
Channel 10 ahead of the 2014 Glasgow
Commonwealth Games.
The GV Staff and Board were on-hand to
meet the community at each of our premier
events through our new Customer Service
Desk initiative. The desk was open each day
throughout each Tier 1 event, providing
information about GV’s products and
services, as well as the opportunity to ask
staff members about anything related to their
affiliation with GV.
Looking ahead, we aim to build on 2014’s
successes and increase the commerciality
of our events, perhaps with some new and
exciting events added to the calendar – watch
this space!

FAMILY BALL & AWARDS NIGHT
Jacqui Godfrey, Events and Marketing Manager
In February 2015, 400 of Victoria’s gymnasts,
officials, their families and club staff from
the gymnastics community came together
to celebrate the 2014 successes and
contributions of members across all gymsports
at the GV Family Ball & Awards Night.

Championships Bronze Medallist and
Commonwealth Games Gold Medallist)

picturesque Lakeside Events & Functions

WORKFORCE
Nastashia Buck, Education Coordinator
The first half of 2014 saw a change in guard for
the GV Education Team, with myself stepping
into the role at the end of April 2014.
During 2014, there were 1835 gymnastics
judges and coaches in Victoria . A large
number of these members participated in
GV’s education programs. In 2014, GV also
increased the coaches pool overall from 1202
to 1455. There was also an overall increase in
judges in 2014 from 355 to 380.
During 2014, the GV Education Team
successfully ran 23 Beginner Coaching Courses
and 28 Intermediate Coaching Courses.
With a focus on servicing all Gymsports,
the Education Team also successfully ran an
intermediate coaching and judging course
in every technical committee governed
Gymsport, as well as running numerous
courses throughout regional Victoria.
Our commitment to upskilling and developing
our judges was also demonstrated by 28
courses being run across multiple Gymsports
in 2014. We have continued to develop our
coaches to be inclusive in their coaching,
with 255 coaches participating in inclusion
workshops in 2014. In addition, Victoria is also
the proud home of 33 Inclusion Presenters,
who regularly promote the most up to date
inclusive messages to coaches and clubs.
With the coaching appeals process that
consumed the majority of 2013 finalised,
Education could now move forward with new
projects and initiatives.
40
These new areas of focus required the help
and expertise of casual staff Zoe Lorenzin
and Arngelika Schoo, who assisted with
sanctioning club workshops, helping with
updating and reaccreditation queries,
sanctioning and processing coaching and
judging courses and providing help with any
request that crossed their desk. The success
of education in 2014 was entirely a team
effort and many thanks are given to the GV
Education Team for their tireless effort.
2015 will see the release of the Gymnastics
Australia Advanced Coaching Course, which
will provide a platform for further professional
development with a strong focus on Anatomy
and Biomechanics. The course is expected
to be a large transition jump for current
intermediate coaches. GV will continue to
work with clubs and coaches to make this
transition as smooth as possible.
The GV Education team looks forward to
2015 and more educational professional
development for our valued members.

financial statements.
NOTE 3: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
FINANCIAL REPORTING FRAMEWORK
The Association is not a reporting entity because in the opinion of the Board members there are unlikely to exist users of the financial
report who are unable to command the preparation of reports tailored so as to satisfy specifically all of their information needs.
Accordingly, these special purpose financial statements have been prepared to satisfy the Board members’ reporting requirements under
the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012.
For the purpose of preparing the financial statements, the Association is a not-for-profit entity.
STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012, the recognition and
measurement requirement specified by all Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations, and the disclosure requirements of
Accounting Standards AASB 101 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’, AASB 107 ‘Statements of Cash Flows’, AASB 108 ‘Accounting Policies,
Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’ and AASB 1054 ‘Australian Additional Disclosures’.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost. Historical cost is generally based on the fair values of the
consideration given in exchange for goods and services. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs of inventories are determined on a first-in-first-out basis. Net
realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to
make the sale.
b. Property, Plant and Equipment
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
47
Depreciation
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives, using the
straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting
period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
A review of depreciation identified that previous rates used were too agressive. Depreciation rates have since been revised, however
depreciation recognised in prior financial years has not been changed, rather, the change in depreciation rates has been accounted
for on a ‘prospective’ basis.”
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:
Class of Fixed Asset
Gymnastics equipment
Office equipment
Computer equipment
Motor Vehicle
Depreciation Rate
10-25%
5-50%
17-33%
8%
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to
arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and
equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in
profit or loss.
c. Leases
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to
the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases
Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the Association at their fair value at the inception of the lease or,
if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the statement of
financial position as a finance lease obligation.
Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate
of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless they are
directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the Association’s general policy on
borrowing costs. Contingent rentals are recognised as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic
basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. Contingent rentals
arising under operating leases are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The
aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis, except where another
systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.
d. Impairment of Assets
At each reporting date, the Association reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that
those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order
to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from
other assets, the Association estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. As the future economic benefits of the Association’s
assets are not primarily dependent on their ability to generate net cash inflows, and if deprived of the asset, the Association would
replace the asset’s remaining future economic benefits. The ‘value in use’ is determined as the depreciated replacement cost of the
asset, rather than by using discounted future cash flows.
Depreciated replacement cost is defined as the current replacement cost of an asset less, where applicable, accumulated
depreciation calculated on the basis of such cost to reflect the already consumed or expired future economic benefits of the asset.
The current replacement cost of an asset is its cost measured by reference to the lowest cost at which the gross future economic
benefits of that asset could currently be obtained in the normal course of business.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount
of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or
loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised
estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount
that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (cash-generating unit) in prior years. A
reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which case
the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
48
e. Employee Benefits
A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, and long service leave when
it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being measured reliably.
Liabilities recognised in respect of short-term employee benefits, are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration rate
expected to apply at the time of settlement.
Liabilities recognised in respect of long term employee benefits are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash
outflows to be made by the Association in respect of services provided by employees up to reporting date.
f. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with
original maturities of three months or less.
g. Revenue Recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is recognised when the right to receive the
revenue has been established.
Revenue from registrations is recognised over the period the registration relates to.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the goods are delivered and titles have passed at which time the Association has
transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.
Revenue from the provision of services is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the recipient.
Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Association and
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding
and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the
expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on intial recognition.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
h. Contributions - Government Grants/Donations
A contribution occurs when the Association receives an asset, including the right to receive cash or other forms of asset without
directly giving approximately equal value to the other party to the transfer; that is, when there is a non-reciprocal transfer.
Contributions would include donations and government grants. Contributions that are income exclude contributions by owners.
Income from contributions is recognised when all the following conditions are satisfied:
• the Association obtains control of the contribution or right to receive the contribution;
• it is probable the economic benefits comprising the contribution will flow to the Association; and
• the amount of the contribution can be measured reliably.
Income arising from contributions is measured at the fair value of the contributions received or receivable.
i. Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except:
i.Where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition
of an asset or as part of an item of expense; or
ii.For receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables. Cash
flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a net basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and
financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as operating cash flows.
j. Trade and Other Payables
Trade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services received by the
Association during the reporting period which remain unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts
normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.
k. Trade and Other Receivables
Receivables are measured at amortised cost less any impairment. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full
amount is no longer probable.
49
l. Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Association has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past event, it is probable
that the Association will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of
the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using
the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (where the
effect of the time value of money is material).
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable
is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be
measured reliably.
m. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
Key judgements - Impairment
The Association assesses impairment at the end of each reporting period by evaluating conditions and events specific to the Association
that may be indicative of impairment triggers. The board do not believe that any indicators of impairment exist at the reporting date.
Key estimates - Employee benefits
The long service leave provision is based upon the probability that staff will continue to be employed by the Association until such time
as they are entitled to long service leave on a pro-rata basis. These probabilities are estimates based on past history of staff turnover.
Annual leave entitlements as at 31 December 2014 for the majority of staff are expected to be used within 12 months of balance
date. Therefore the provision for annual leave is calculated on a normal basis rather than discounting the annual leave liability over
the period in which the annual leave is expected to be used.
Key judgments - Provision for impairment of receivables
All long standing debts identified by management through correspondence and those which are unlikely to be received have been
included in the provision for impairment of receivables.
n. Income Tax
The Association is exempt from income tax under Division 50 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.
