The formal process to review a Peak Body’s performance for the previous 12-month.
The Annual Maturity Assessment (AMA) is the formal process to review a Peak Body's performance for the previous 12-months. Peak Bodies must complete all components of the AMA process to determine if there is a case to recommend an increment increase for funding.
The components of the AMA process include completion of:
The SGS are the measures by which both CITS and peak bodies can evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of their governance systems and processes.
The SGS have been co-designed with the Australian Sports Commission and State and Territory sport and recreation government departments to support governance improvement across the sector and all sporting organisations.
Using the SGS assessment as an organisational governance evaluation tool, CITS can identify trends and provide advice, support, resources and education to meet sector needs.
Completion of the SGS assessment is to be done via Game Plan.
More information on the SGS and Principles can be found on the Australian Sports Commission’s website.
The Women in Leadership (WIL) target requires recognised peak body boards to comprise of a minimum of 50 per cent female or gender diverse directors. To reflect and accommodate boards with an uneven number of director positions, the final position can be any gender.
Improving diversity, including gender, in leadership and governance increases the range of skills, viewpoints and networks available to develop strategy, plans and programs, and helps create stronger and more sustainable organisations.
Organisations are required to report on this target by 31 March each year.
There are funding implications for organisations that do not achieve and maintain the WIL target.
Completion of the WIL target is to be done within the SGS assessment via Game Plan.
