The Plan
We are aiming to raise awareness and obtain broad support for the funding by the Federal Government a Universal Youth Sports Injury Prevention Program
The plan is to create a compelling case for the implementation of the Program:
• Articulating the facts relating to sports injuries, particularly ACL injuries and lower limb injuries through an evidence-based approach
• Collate and compile relevant information provided by key stakeholders
• Promoting a strategic implementation plan designed to address key barriers and facilitators in community sport with a focus on education
• Identifying a reduction in future direct health costs arising from ACL injuries
• Improving the quality of life for sports participants through the reduction of ACL injuries
• Aligning the proposed Program with the Australian Sports Commission objectives of Sustainable sports .
This collaborative initiative will adopt best practices in governing the program delivery, adopting a leading edge robust technology platform to optimise the convenience and access to athlete, coaches & trainers. This will also enable the ability to measure and monitor the performance of the Program.
