- Adopt an individualised case management approach when assessing athlete needs and career advice referrals, contributing to the development of the athlete performance planning process with a specific focus on the AW&E component and future athlete requirements.
- Work with QAS Communications personnel to amplify the extraordinary journeys of Queensland athletes pursuing excellence through powerful storytelling, proactively linking Queensland athletes to schools and targeted community programs to drive positive social change.
