The Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) and Triathlon Australia are jointly undertaking a comprehensive review of triathlon’s Olympic and Paralympic high performance programs, with the aim of resetting for future success.

The Triathlon Australia (TA) Board of Directors is issuing this open letter to triathlon members and to the triathlon community in response to serious allegations raised publicly by a former elite triathlete.

2018 Commonwealth Games Mixed Relay Gold Medallist Gillian Backhouse has called time on her triathlon career, after 10 years in the sport at the elite level.

Triathlon Australia performance coaches Teresa Theaker and Janine Kaye have been chosen for the AIS Elevate Women Coach program, a new professional development initiative from the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) to prioritise the progress of women in Australian high-performance sport.

Nominations are open for positions of Elected Director on the Triathlon Australia Board, to be elected at Triathlon Australia’s 2021 Annual General Meeting (AGM) which will be held virtually on Monday, 22 November at 7:30PM AEST.
