Welcome to the High Performance Program
The Australian Weightlifting Federation’s High Performance Program (HPP) is an Australian Sports Commission (ASC), Australian Commonwealth Games Association (ACGA) and Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) funded scheme that is proudly athlete centered, coach driven and administratively supported.
The program is designed to identify high performing male and female Australian lifters and prepare them for success at targeted international weightlifting competitions taking place over the next decade.
In order to achieve high performance results at these targeted competitions lifters need access to the best possible training environment, top class coaching, support services and competition opportunities.
It is envisaged that access to these vital elements via the HPP will deliver medal winning performances at the 2010 Delhi Commonwealth Games, achieve higher representation at the 2012 London Olympic Games and have at least one lifter standing on the victory podium at the 2016 Olympic Games.
