WA High Performance Pathways Program - Pathways 2024

Our vision: To consistently produce world-class rowers

Following the establishment of Rowing Australia’s CampaignNumberOne High Performance Strategy and the subsequent implementation of two national training centres, the role of the state-based pathway programs has significantly evolved. The WA strategy is outlined in a document called Pathways 2024.

The 2020 Strategy

During 2016-2017, Rowing WA, WAIS and a variety of other high performance rowing stakeholders reviewed previous HP models to ensure the WA Pathways Program recognises the strengths and challenges within our local environment. This strategy formed the basis of the 2024 strategy after a full review process.
