4 | Hockey Victoria | Annual Report 2017
To all Affiliates, players, and Stakeholders of Hockey Victoria, I am pleased to provide this Chairman’s Report for 2017.
We all stood up and took notice when the first ball of the AFLW was bounced in February and were all reminded how competitive the sporting landscape is for talent and eyeballs in this country. In a State and City where there are 10 AFL clubs, Women’s A-League, Professional Netball Teams and Women’s Cricket teams we remain cognisant that we must continue to look at new ways of doing business to ensure our game holds its place in Australia’s sport, recreation and entertainment world.
As Chairman I am proud that we won the AHL with both the Victorian Vikings and Vipers winning the Australian Hockey League defeating Queensland in the Grand Final in October, I am proud that our Community Hockey Team and the community has delivered more than 40 percent of the Hookin2Hockey participants Nationally and I am proud that we were the state to pioneer hockey for people with a disability. Now in our third year of programming in 2017 we selected our first ever all abilities hockey team the AA Aces.
Whilst these achievements and many more put our state in a strong position to be sustainable, we want to be more which is why we have pushed incredibly hard to secure access to MSAC for the development of Indoor Hockey and our Indoor teams. We have used the success of MSAC to send a strong message to the Victorian Government that our sport has a place in the indoor sport space and how important an indoor playing environment is in providing a welcoming environment and retaining women in our sport.
In addition to the push to build a purpose built indoor court at the SNHC we have lobbied strongly with Hockey Australia to ensure that we look to change our National competition and bring it up to the needs of the modern-day sports fan. Andrew Skillern and his colleagues from the other States & Territories have strongly encouraged change in this area and we are actively supporting a bold re launch of the league in 2018.
From a social hockey perspective, I could not be prouder of the innovation displayed by Management in this space. The team have negotiated a partnership with Haval motors and three local governments to bring social hockey to their communities in 2018. These initiatives are strongly supported by the Board because we know how quickly sport and how people engage with sport is changing. We need to be at the forefront of these programs to encourage participation and generate revenue.
To the clubs I want to thank each of you for continuing to work hard at the cold face of the sport providing participation opportunities to over 20,000 players across Victoria.
All of our Premier League clubs met the League Entry requirements of 2017 and we have been delighted to see all of the Premier League clubs grow their junior programs during the year.
Chairman’s Message
Our competition continues to be the largest in the country and as part of its development we witnessed a top 8 finals series for the first time in history in Premier League. We were only seconds away from an 8th placed team making a preliminary final in the Men’s and we saw Greensborough in the Women’s go close to making it through the Grand final from 6th. I would like to congratulate Katie Allen and Camberwell Hockey Club for going back to back in the Men’s Premier League and Congratulate Jay Stacy and Hawthorn Hockey club for going back to back in the Women’s.
In the VicLeague Competition, I was delighted to see the Vic League 1 & 2 clubs have their time in the sun as the major draw cards to the traditional Sunday afternoon Grand Finals. Brunswick & Hockey Geelong both the minor Premiers in the Vic League 1 competitions won their Grand finals in shoot outs adding to the drama of a terrific Vic League Grand final day.
To the Junior Competition it was terrific to see more clubs supporting girl’s teams in 2017. Many clubs now with a pathway of girls only teams providing an outstanding environment for young girls to enjoy. To our cohort of ever growing masters teams I thank you for your ongoing support of the game.
In regional Victoria I was delighted to see the Regional Participation Plan launched during 2017 and the Board and I are looking forward to seeing the impact of newly formed girl’s competitions in many of the leagues in regional Victoria.
We also have our eyes wide open to the long-term future as we work through how we will approach the emergence of the outer suburban population of Melbourne, the challenge for recreational space in the inner city and the ongoing consumer trends of sport in the modern day.
I would like to thank Andrew Skillern and the whole team at Hockey Victoria for an outstanding year. The Board and I are extremely proud of the contribution, passion and hard work carried out by our team on a day to day basis. The team continue to work hard on our mantra of growth and professionalism in everything we do and I am personally proud of the status of our organisation both in National hockey but also as one of the leading SSA’s in Victoria. Much of this success must go to the work of the Management team. I feel extremely fortunate to work with such a strong group of administrators and Board who ensure that the best interests of hockey are pursued each and every day.
Finally to you the members. Thank you for supporting our great game and for the direction in which we together are taking it. Ensuring our game continues to remain relevant, vibrant and progressive into the future.

CEO’s Report
In 2017 we launched our new strategy through to 2020. Grow, Unite, Diversity, Excel. After a detailed consultation process and engagement with the clubs, key stakeholders, staff and Board we were proud to release our bold strategy which aims to be the number one State Association in Australian hockey.
In year one of our new four-year strategy we have focussed on consolidating the systems and structure around the LEC relating to Premier League and commenced a body of research in partnership with La Trobe University which is focussed on reviewing recent changes delivered by our organisation and its impact on competition structure and the way we offer the game to our members. Furthermore, I have spent considerable time with the other leaders in the sport strongly supporting the need for Hockey Australia to lead on a number of key strategic areas of the business.
The document clearly outlines our intent to consolidate many of the innovations of the 2013–2016 period however further invest and focus on new business opportunity as we seek further relevance in the Victorian sport and recreation sector as well as drive a more sustainable commercial future for our sport.
The four (4) key strategic objectives for the future of hockey in Australia determined by HA and the Member Associations include:
• Engage recreational hockey consumers
• Unlock One Hockey
• Drive sport entertainment events
• Become digitally agile
I am pleased to say that Victoria is well placed to progress in a number of the areas identified as we have already made considerable steps forward in most areas.
An exciting year for hockey in Victoria was capped off with the outstanding success of our two elite teams the Victorian Vipers and Vikings winning the 2017 Australian Hockey League in Perth in early October. An event which was a first for Victoria winning both the Women’s & Men’s Senior National Championship in the one year. Off the back of this result we were delighted to see more Victorian athletes identified in the National system which demonstrates the clear success of our player development programs led by Lachlan Anderson and outstanding elite programs at the VIS led by Jay Stacy, Stacia Joseph and Phil Burrows.
I am pleased to say that Victoria is well placed to progress in a number of the areas identified as we have already made considerable steps forward in most areas.
At the top end of our competition, I would like to congratulate Camberwell Hockey Club & Hawthorn Hockey Club on winning the 2017 Men’s & Women’s Premier League competitions respectively. Back to back for both clubs and well coached by Katie Allen (Camberwell) and Jay Stacy (Hawthorn).
The new teams to Premier League equipped themselves well all having competitive seasons. The final 8 for Premier League added another level of drama that we have not seen in our Premier competition in history and I look forward to the 2018 season with great anticipation.
Our strong grass roots program in schools will be well complimented by the emergence of a new domestic hockey league which I hope will bring an identity to hockey in Melbourne’s crowded market and elevate our status as a sport from 2018. We remain an active participant in the testing and design of the new national league as we see an exciting domestic competition critically important to attracting and retaining talent in our sport and furthermore being central to the promotion of our sport.
Our three Social hockey formats J-Ball, HockeySixers & KE40 have all been tested and through partnerships secured in late 2017 with Surf Coast Shire Council, Wyndham City Council and Ballarat City Council we have the dedicated funds to go to market with the products more aggressively in 2018.
From a Victorian Government perspective, I would like to acknowledge their support in assisting us in securing Indoor hockey space at MSAC and for their ongoing support of the re development of the State Netball Hockey Centre (SNHC). We were delighted to see a 21% increase in Indoor Hockey participation in 2017 off the back of the access to MSAC which is outstanding timing leading into our strong push for a dedicated indoor court onsite at the SNHC into the future.
We were delighted to see a 21% increase in Indoor Hockey participation in 2017 off the back of the access to MSAC which is outstanding timing leading into our strong push for a dedicated indoor court onsite at the SNHC into the future.
To my dedicated staff, I also want to acknowledge the contribution they all made to the overall success of hockey in Victoria in 2017. The staff continue to work extremely hard towards our strategic goals and support the Affiliates with hockey’s best interests at heart.
Finally, I would like to thank our program partners and sponsors, the Victorian Government, our Affiliates and our members for their support during the 2017 year. 2018 will see our organisation aggressively pursuit new participants through social hockey, be a leader in the delivery of the new National Hockey League, reach record numbers in Hookin2Hockey and continue to support our clubs and members in delivering long-term sustainability of their clubs and the sport.

Hockey Operations Report
Project / Program Description
Officiating Development
Hockey Victoria continued its focus on developing officials across all levels in 2017. The course calendars were streamlined and set in advance resulting in greater awareness and ultimately greater attendance numbers.
On the back of the LEC’s Hockey Education criteria, we have seen a significant increase of Level 2 Umpires and Coaches, as well as greater numbers of Level 1 Technical Officials.
One of the key developments was the re-launch of the Hockey Victoria Officiating Committee (HVOC). After several years of inactivity, the committee was reformed in July, and have already commenced with new strategies to ensure the officials development is progressing.
New Social Hockey Format – VicHealth Project
2017 has seen the new social hockey formats delivered in four new locations in addition to the Footscray Hockey centre. J-Ball was introduced in Geelong and Hockey Sixers for Juniors and Adults was rolled out at Farm Rd in Moorabbin, while KE40 was trialled at Doncaster and Werribee.
The new social hockey formats also gained traction nationally, with both Hockey ACT and Hockey NT successfully piloting the programs.
Overall, just over 500 people have now been engaged in one of the three new formats developed with VicHealth’s support over the past two years, with exciting new developments planned for next year.
Junior Country Championships
This year’s JCC saw 46 boys’ and girls’ Regional Association representative teams take part in the event. The event was held on Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 May at the State Netball Hockey Centre and Essendon Hockey Centre. As always, the event also served as a development platform for up and coming regional coaches and umpires.
Champions of the divisions were as below:
• U13A Boys: Hockey Albury Wodonga
• U13B Boys: Hockey Central Victoria
• U13 Girls: Hockey Albury Wodonga
• U15 Boys: Hockey Albury Wodonga
• U15 Girls: Hockey Albury Wodonga
• U17 Boys: Hockey Albury Wodonga
• U17 Girls: Warrnambool District HA
Junior State Championships
The 2017 Junior State Championships was held at the State Netball Hockey Centre and Footscray Hockey Centre, from Tuesday 4 July to Friday 7 July.
Overall, 57 teams competed in the 2017 event, representing the 10 State Zones in the 6 age divisions for boys and girls. Together with the pool of Team Officials, Technical Officials, Umpire Panels, Umpire Managers and Coaches, there were just under 1000 participants in the event!
The Championships saw amazing hockey played throughout the four days of competitions and resulted in the below teams being crowned Championships of their division:
• U13 Boys: Western Metro Wildcats
• U13 Girls: Southern Metro Sharks
• U15 Boys: North East Metro Red Devils
• U15 Girls: North West Metro Tigers
• U17 Boys: North West Metro Tigers
• U17 Girls: North West Metro Tigers

Senior Country Championships
Another hugely successful Senior Country Championship was held over the Queen’s Birthday Long Weekend at Stead Park in Geelong and Greensborough Hockey Centre.
Women’s Senior Country Championship saw 19 Women’s teams battle it out in four divisions over the three days in Geelong, while 16 Men’s teams took to the field at Greensborough Hockey Centre. The event also served as a great platform for providing Hockey Ed courses to the regional affiliates.
Below are the Division Premiers:
• Women’s A1: Hockey Geelong
• Women’s A2: Hockey Geelong
• Women’s B1: Peninsula Lynx
• Women’s B2: Hockey Geelong
• Men’s Division 1: Ballarat HA
• Men’s Division 2: East Gippsland HA
• Men’s Masters: Hockey Central Victoria
Indoor Hockey The biggest development on the indoor hockey front was securing all year access to the Melbourne Sports & Aquatic Centre (MSAC) indoor court, which commenced in October.
Having access to a FIH specification indoor hockey court has had an immediate impact on participation, with 25 additional teams participating in the Indoor Hockey Season.
Indoor Competition saw clubs compete in 15 competitions from Open age to U11, with the Premiers coming from 12 different clubs.
Capping off the successful indoor hockey year were Senior and Junior Indoor Club Championship. 72 teams (including the first ever regional indoor hockey teams – U13 boys and girls from Wodonga) competed in the Club Championships with each Championship won by a different club, which is fantastic for the development of Indoor Hockey. The winners of each division were as below:
• Open Men: Powerhouse/St.Kilda
• Open Women: Mentone
• Under 18 Boys: KBH Brumbies
• Under 18 Girls: Footscray
• Under 15 Boys: Altona
• Under 15 Girls: TEM
• Under 13 Boys: Southern United
• Under 13 Girls: Waverley
HA International Festival of Hockey
Hockey Victoria once again played a significant role in assisting Hockey Australia in delivering the International Festival of Hockey in November 2017 in Melbourne. In addition to the Hockeyroos and the Kookaburras, USA, Netherlands, Pakistan, Japan and New Zealand participated in the event.
As in the inaugural year, Hockey Victoria was charged with managing volunteers and mascots for all matches played in Melbourne. A group of around 60 volunteers ensured the successful delivery of the event, in addition to over 200 children given the opportunity to walk out on the field with their hockey idols.

Recruitment and Retention
In 2017, Hockey Victoria visited 366 Primary Schools throughout Victoria. It exposed 60,220 children aged from Prep – Grade 6 to the sport of hockey. This recruitment program involved over 30 casual HV staff and numerous coaches from clubs. The partnership between clubs and HV is vital to a successful recruitment process.
A total of 2370 participants registered for Hookin2Hockey in 2017. This is 51% of the total Hookin2Hockey participants in Australia. Eighty-nine clubs within Victoria ran registered Hookin2Hockey programs.
Clubs continued to offer modified club-based products for U10 participants as a follow on from Hookin2Hockey programs. A total of 358 club based modified programs were run in 2017.
Sporting Schools
In 2017 Hockey Victoria delivered the hockey Sporting schools program in 125 primary schools within Victoria. A total of 3556 children participated in the program. Of these schools, 40 purchased new hockey equipment packs which makes the sport more sustainable for the future.
HV continued to offer Specialist schools hockey clinics through the sporting Schools program. 5 schools participated in the program.
Access for All Abilities
In 2017 Hockey Victoria continued to work with the Southern Specialist Schools Sports Association (SSSSA) by providing Physical Education teachers professional development opportunities. This has enabled hockey to become a more sustainable sport within this region with schools embedding hockey into the P.E curriculum. The SSSSA were able to run their own interschool competitions over term 2 and 3, with Hockey Victoria’s support. A total of 20 teams (180 students) were involved in the two competitions.
For the second year running, HV worked with the Northern Specialist School Sports Association (NSSSA). A total of 12 schools participated in the modified hockey competition and skills development program out at Altona over the 3 weeks in term 3. Two hundred students were engaged in the northern program.
In 2017 Hockey Victoria held its Inaugural All Abilities Hockey State School Championship. A total of 90 students from around the state competed across two divisions for the championship trophies. The standard of hockey on display was a testament to the work of Hockey Victoria staff and casual coaches over the past 4 years. HV selected the Inaugural 18 & Under Women’s and Men’s State team call the All Ability Aces.
Women & Girls
Increasing female participation continues to be a strategic focus for Hockey Victoria. In 2017 HV introduced a Girls Only Hookin2Hockey Pilot in four clubs throughout Victoria. The purpose of the pilot was to enable girls to learn more skills, and feel confident in a positive, welcoming environment. HV developed a series of promotional videos to support clubs in educating their members on benefits.
HV continued to offer females the opportunities to develop their abilities and networks through female only accreditation workshops for coaching and umpiring.
To compliment the strong advocacy for girls only teams and creating healthy girls competitions and pathways HV produced a series of resources for clubs. These resources included two videos, one aimed at educating parents of the benefits of playing girls only competition and another one targeting club administrators. These videos will be used to further encourage participants to play girls only competition in 2018 and build on the growth in junior girls teams in recent years.
In 2017, HV announced a new partnership with Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA). This partnership enabled the hockey community to show their support for the fantastic work BCNA do to support, inform, represent and connect Australian women and men affected by breast cancer. During Women’s Round HV and the community turned pink in support of BCNA. Emily Hurtz was chosen to be the Ambassador for the program. Hockey Victoria are thankful for the fantastic efforts of the multiple affiliates who registered for Pink Sports Day to help raise over $10,000 for Breast Cancer Network Australia.
Rachel Lynch, Teagan Philips, and AFL marquee players, Ellie Blackburn and Moana Hope were guest speakers for Hockey Victoria’s Annual Women and Girls breakfast. The hockey community continued to support this event with 320 people in attendance.
Community Hockey Report
Club Development
The Community Hockey team continued to support clubs by providing ongoing support and guidance and opportunities to increase their skills and knowledge. HV offered clubs three key workshops this year. The first was facilitated by well know sports psychologist, Jacqui Louder and it was about Retaining females in hockey. The second was delivered during Men’s Health Round and was delivered by Jake Edwards from Outside the locker room. This workshop looked at mental health issues within sport. The final workshop was held during Fair go Sport! round and was facilitated by Jason Ball. Jason spoke about the LGBTI community and sport. All workshops aimed to increase awareness of the community we live in and help clubs to develop inclusive and welcoming environments.
In 2017 Hockey Victoria partnered with Beyond Blue to highlight Men’s Health Round. Home teams were encouraged to purchase the cookie blue HV socks in support of the round. Thanks to all the clubs that supported the initiative.
Regional Visits
Hockey Victoria worked with the newly formed Regional Hockey Steering Committee to develop the 2017-2020 Regional Participation Plan. The Plan aims to improve the experience of all stakeholders and continue to grow participation in regional areas.
The key areas of the plan include:
1. Hookin2Hockey Centres established in Regional clubs, along with more localised products for participants.
2. Girls only competitions available in U10’s and U12’s.
3. The formation of a centralised disciplinary and tribunal body to align the Rules and Regulations across Victoria.
4. Increase the quality and quantity of the regional workforce.
5. Develop Regional League Entry Criteria Standards
Members of the HV Executive team visited the regional areas of Ballarat, Geelong, Charlton and Albury to discuss the strategies within the plan and identify ways we can work together to achieve the KPI’s established in the plan.

High Performance Report
AHL Teams Win!
AHL 2017 was an amazing and successful time in Perth. The Vikings achieved back to back championships coached by Jay Stacy (Head Coach) Lachlan Anderson (Assistant Coach) Andrew Smith (Assistant Coach), Jamie Bahnisch (Analyst) and James Karageorgiou (Phys Prep), and for the first time in the history of the AHL the Victorian Men’s and Women’s teams collected both championships in the same year, Vipers Coaching staff included Tim Strap (Head Coach), Phil Burrows (Assistant Coach), Greg Drake (Analyst) and Mark Taylor (Team manager) Some stellar performances by our experienced campaigners combined with some youthful exuberance of the less experienced players was a perfect recipe for victory.
Emerging Vikings & Vipers
The 2017 Emerging program was very successful with all players progressing to Under 18 and Under 21 State teams. The aim of this program is to provide the selected athletes with a very high-quality training environment to develop and scaffold their skills required for national and international competition, these sessions are combined with both the Men’s and Women’s VIS programs.
The program runs from November until late February. Athletes participate in extensive fitness testing and screening, conducted by Acceleration Melbourne, skill development and matches against VIS squads.
VIS Coaches Jay Stacy and Phil Burrows provided valuable insight into this program to keep things in order with National Programming initiatives.
Academy / Pathway Development Programs
In 2017 we serviced just over 550 athletes in a variety of pathway programming initiatives including, Draft Camp, Elite Skill Development Days, Academy and Emerging programs. The HV Academy has been integral in helping us identify the best talent and honing their skillsets.
In 2017 we launched our pilot GK Development program that was hugely successful and extremely well received by our GK community, we look forward to bringing this to our padded-up friends again in 2018.
The effort of our AIO’s and Academy coaching staff has played a huge role in the success of our state teams. Now in the 4th year of the centralised academy model we are seeing the fruits of the hard work put in both on and off pitch.
The constant tweaking and adjustment of this model has proven to be very successful over the past 12-18 months bringing in championship success at all levels.
National Championships Success
The year kicks off with Indoor taking place over the month of January in Wollongong. We had teams in all age brackets and competitions, the Victorian teams competed well and fought hard but could not manage to find the net enough at crucial times in games. Our best results were the Under 13 Boys coming in second and the Under 18 Girls also securing a silver medal.
2017 was a very positive year for our outdoor teams with 2 senior National Championships from the Vikings and Vipers at AHL.
The Vikings securing their second National Championship in as many years has shown that head coach Jay Stacy has planned meticulously over the past decade to bring this to reality, at the same time in Perth we celebrated the Under 13 Boys winning their Nationals and the Under 13 Girls coming in a very close second after drawing a crucial game to the VIC White team. Victoria managed to secure the Under 15 Girls National Championship for the first time in our history under the tutelage of David Wansborough. The success at theses junior level is an indicator of the work the Parents/Athletes / Support staff and Academy coaches are devoting to the pathway and associated programming.
National Representation (including indoor)
At the end of 2017 Kookaburra Goal scoring genius Chris Ciriello announced his retirement from International hockey, Chris has been an amazing ambassador of the game for all Victorians over his career and we certainly wish him all the best in his future endeavours.
2017 also saw the international Debuts of Kiran Arunasalam, Krissy Bates as well as Lily Brazel* (*NSW born) each of these athletes has shown that with attention to detail and putting in the hard work your hockey dreams of representing your country at the highest level can come true.
Despite the ongoing success of the Victorian Vikings Men’s team, Victoria only managed to gain selection of Aaron Kleinschmidt for the Kookaburras trip for the world league finals in India. At this tournament Australia secured the Gold medal and regained their World Number 1.

Feature Athlete – Kiran Arunasalam
Kiran or ‘Kiz’ as he is known to his teammates took up hockey at a young age after his older brother enticed him to play. Kiran had a natural talent and love for the game and gained selection in every Victorian team age group along the way.
In 2016 Kiran was a member of the drought breaking Victorian Vikings team who won their first AHL tournament since 1998 and to cap it off Kiran was selected in the Australian Junior World Cup team who finished fourth in India. Kiran also was a member of the U21 Victorian team who won the national championships and represented the U21 national team, the Burra’s, at the Sultan of Johor Cup in Malaysia where the team finished 1st.
Off the back of a successful 2016 Kiran gained selection in Hockey Australia’s national senior squad and relocated to Perth in early 2017. Kiran made his debut for the national team in Darwin playing against Pakistan and scored his first international goal in the fourth game of the series.
Away from the hockey pitch Kiran was studying Marketing at University however has put that on hold to focus on his hockey commitments now that he has relocated to Perth. He has a keen interest in music and sneakers and hopes to one day open up a small café.

Feature Athlete - Rachael Lynch
Born in Melbourne, Rachael Lynch decided to pursue hockey seriously after being selected in the primary schools state team. She made her way through the Victorian state squads and national junior teams going on to represent Australia at the 2005 Junior World Cup where the team finished fourth before making her senior international debut only six months later at the 2006 Champions Trophy tournament.
Rachael has been a mainstay of the women’s national team winning various tournaments and awards across her long career but counts winning a gold medal at the 2010 and 2014 Commonwealth Games along with silver medal at the 2014 World Cup where she was named goalkeeper of the tournament as her career highlights.
Rachael made her long awaited Olympic debut at the 2016 Game in Rio after narrowly missing selection in the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Squads.
Away from the pitch Rachael likes to keep herself busy working at the Royal Perth Hospital once a week as a registered nurse in neuro rehabilitation and also recently opened a restaurant with her brother in Sydney.
Now as one of the most experienced and senior members of the national team she has her sights firmly on the 2018 World Cup and Commonwealth Games.

Notes to the Financial Statements
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting
These financial statements are general purpose financial report which have been prepared in accordance with the Associations Incorporations Reform Act 2012, Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements, and comply with other requirements of the law.
The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 7 March 2018.
The report is prepared on an historical cost basis. Historical cost is generally based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange of the goods and services.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
The directors’ estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial report are based on historical results and the best available current information. Estimates assumes a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data from internal and external sources.
In the application of the entity’s accounting policies, which are described below, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual result may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
As described below in note 1(b) the entity reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment at each reporting date. No changes to the useful lives were determined during the current year.
The following specific accounting policies, which are consistent with the previous year unless otherwise stated, have been adopted in the preparation of this report:
(a) Income Tax
No liability for income tax has been recognised as the Association is exempt from income tax under Division 50 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.
(b) Non-current Assets
Each class of plant and equipment is recognised in the Statement of Financial Position at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all property, plant and equipment is depreciated on a straight line basis over the useful lives of the assets to the Association commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable asset are:
Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Rate
Office Furniture 28.6%
Electrical Equipment 28.6%
Hockey Equipment 28.6%
(c) Employee Benefits
Provision is made for the Association’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to reporting date. Employee benefits expected to be settled within one year, together with benefits arising from wages and salaries and annual leave which will be settled after one year, have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled plus related on costs. Other employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. Contributions are made by the Association to an employee superannuation fund nominated by an employee and are charged as expenses when incurred.
(d) Unearned Deferred Revenue
Unearned revenue is recognised as a liability in the Statement of Financial Position and will be recognised as revenue in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income when relevant services are delivered by the Association.

78 | Hockey Victoria | Annual Report 2017
Notes to the Financial Statements
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
(e) Cash
For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash includes cash on hand and at bank.
(f) Held-to-maturity financial assets
If Hockey Victoria has the positive intent and ability to hold term deposits to maturity, then such financial assets are classified as held-to-maturity. Held-to-maturity financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, held-to-maturity financial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Held to maturity financial assets comprise term deposits.
(g) Revenue
Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the clubs and individual members. Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.
Revenue from grant income is recognised in accordance with AASB 1004: Contributions. Grant income is recognised when the Association gains control over the revenue and there is no unconditional obligation to repay the revenue.
Other revenue is recognised when the right to receive the revenue has been established.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
(h) Goods and Services Tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except:
i. where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense; or
ii. for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables.
Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis. The GST component of the cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified within operating cash flows.
(i) Inventory
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories comprise all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and any other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Costs are assigned on a first-in, first-out.
(j) Trade and other payables
Trade payables and other accounts payable are recognised when the Association becomes obliged to make future payments resulting from the purchase of goods and services.
(k) Adoption of new and revised Accounting Standards
In the current year, the Club has applied a number of amendments to AASBs and a new Interpretation issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that are mandatorily effective for an accounting period that begins on or after 1 January 2017, and therefore relevant for the current year end.
• AASB 1048 Interpretation of Standards
• AASB 2016-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure Initiative: Amendments to AASB 107
• AASB 2017-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Further Annual Improvements 2014-2016
The application of these amendments does not have any material impact on the disclosures or the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

NOTE 20: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONT’D)
Capital risk strategy (cont’d)
(a) Market risk
The Association’s exposure to market risk is low. All financial investments consist of short term bank deposits.
(b) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Association. Hockey Victoria trading terms with customers are 14 days. The short payment term helps with liquidity and to enable prompt action if there are potentially doubtful or bad debt.
The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the Statement of Financial Position represents the Association’s maximum exposure.
(c) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the market value of the Association’s investments will be adversely affected by fluctuations in interest rates. The effective weighted average interest rates on those financial assets and financial liabilities, is as follows:

Financial assets:
As at 31 December 2017, cash and cash equivalents held in the Association amount to $102,110 (2016: $240,326).
The Association held short term bank deposits amounts to $701,650 (2016: $606,520) which account for the substantial part of current assets. The short term bank deposits are kept in an interest bearing account. Therefore, fluctuation in interest rates will have an impact on revenue earned from this liquid resource. An interest rate change of 0.50% up or down based on the amount as at 31 December 2017 will increase or decrease revenue by $351 (2016: $303).
(d) Foreign Currency Risk
The Association does not carry out any business that would give rise to foreign currency risk.
(e) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Association will have insufficient liquidity to meet its obligations as they fall due. All payables are non-interest bearing and standard settlement terms apply. This risk is managed by regularly monitoring liquid reserves and obligations falling due and through holding of cash and only short-term deposits. The Association is cash flow positive with cash inflows constantly exceeding outflows on a monthly basis.
The Association’s only financial liabilities are payables which are all contracted to be settled within 30 days after reporting date (2016: 30 days).
NOTE 21: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
There has not been any matter or circumstances that have arisen since the end of the year that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the entity, the results of those operations or state of affairs of the entity in future financial years.

Directors’ Declaration
Financial Report | 85
86 | Hockey Victoria | Annual Report 2017
Independent Auditor’s Report to the members of Hockey Victoria Incorporated
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Hockey Victoria Incorporated (the “Entity”), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2017, the income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the declaration by the directors.
In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Entity, is in accordance with the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012, including:
(i) giving a true and fair view of the Entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2017 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Regime.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Entity in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012, which has been given to the directors of the Entity, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises unaudited management report for the year ended 31 December 2017, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Members of the Board’s Responsibilities for the Financial Report
The Members of the Board are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012 and for such internal control as the Members of the Board determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the Members of the Board are responsible for assessing the Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Members of the Board either intend to liquidate the Entity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
87
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Entity’s internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Members of the Board.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Members of the Board’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Entity to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with the Members of the Board regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the Members of the Board with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the Members of the Board, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
