Head Diving Coach /Business Owner - R.A.P.S Diving Club
R.A.P.S. Diving Club (RAPS) is currently seeking a person and/or couple who are as passionate about diving as well are to help grow the club to the next level. This is an exciting opportunity for someone with passion, a love of the sport and a real dedication to see each and every person in our club excel to their desired level.
Membership 2020/21
Our State Associations have done a power of work in settling budgets for the coming year, and further, negotiating with a myriad of stakeholders to do that. The State CEO’s have my sincere thanks for their wonderful efforts.
2020 ACAS Program - Grant Applications NOW OPEN!
Diving Australia is pleased to announce that applications are now open for the 2020 ACAS (Athlete Committee Athlete Support) Program.
The ACAS Program provides grants to existing or retired high performance athletes to assist them in their endeavours away from the pool. That might be to defray the costs of study, or to assist in setting up a new business.
COVID-19 UPDATE 27 May
It has been a little while since we have updated you all and I hope you will forgive me for that. I (and the Board) have been keeping in regular touch with David Bell and he has been working collaboratively with the State Association CEO’s on Return to Play Guidelines for diving. The Board has approved these Guidelines and as mentioned below, they are being used to try to get pools opened around Australia for diving.
COVID-19 UPDATE 24 April
I wanted to give you all an update on a few things, and of course, let you know again that you can always get in touch with me to discuss any issue.
DA Statement
With the official announcement from the IOC President and the Prime Minister of Japan overnight, the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games have been “rescheduled to a date beyond 2020, but not later than (northern) summer 2021â€. Diving Australia strongly supports this decision.
COVID-19 Update 23 March
As no doubt you are all aware, the Prime Minister’s Announcement regarding the closure of indoor sporting facilities has meant that the main pools in each of our capital cities will be closed from today. We are currently making enquiries about regional and outdoor pools, but expect that they will soon shut as well.
COVID-19 Update 18 March
Diving Australia has updated information regarding Age Championships and other items as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
