Meet Centre of Excellence Athletes (CoE)

The Centre of Excellence (CoE) athletes leading us into LA2028 who will potentially make up the Team Australia Squad and the Australian Olympic Team, which is proudly supported by Hancock Prospecting Pty Ltd and the AIS. Team Australia trains at the National Centre of Excellence in Perth.

Athletes are selected for Team Australia Squad through a trial process, which runs at least once a year; details are on the Team Australia Selection section. Team Australia Squad Athletes are reviewed every six months to ensure they are on track for world-class performances at the benchmark event.   These reviews select teams for the key benchmark events such as the World Championships and Olympic Games.

Meet the current CoE athletes.
