The Career Practitioner Referral Network (CPRN) enables Australia’s elite athletes access to a variety of professional career advice and guidance services.
A national network of professional career practitioners servicing athletes in all Australian states and territories, including those living regionally and internationally via ‘online’ capability. Our career practitioners have worked with high performance athletes and provide up-to-date knowledge about career development and the impact of the changing world of work.
Ahead of National Careers Week, more than a dozen athletes came together at the Victorian Institute of Sport to discuss their career move.

Categorised athletes include Level 1-5 athletes on the categorisation table in all funded National Sporting Organisations.
