Performance Service Credit
An athlete’s Performance Service credit is used to cover the services which are provided through the HPSNZ.  Carded athletes are eligible for the following funding support:

Performance Services Award - this is the yearly core investment
Gold Podium (Level 1) IPP based
Silver Elite (Level 2) IPP based up to $6000
Bronze Performance+ (Level 3) IPP based up to $4000
Emerging 2016 Performance (Level 4) IPP based up to $2000

 

- Support above and beyond what is allocated to each athlete will require pre-approval from the Performance Service Coordinator ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

- The following services are compulsory for all carded athletes and will be factored into your IPP:

  • Annual Athlete Life Assessment with your HPSNZ Athlete Life Advisor
  • Annual medical screen (make an appointment with an HPSNZ accredited medical provider).
  • Annual musculoskeletal screen - muscle balance (make an appointment with an HPSNZ accredited physiotherapy provider).
  • Annual nutrition screen (Gavin Clearkin will contact athletes about this).

 

 - Click here to download the HPSNZ provider list (as at August 2011) or go the HPSNZ website.

- Note: You can access these compulsory services as soon as you are carded.  However, you must have your performance services plan completed before you can access any other services.
