Salv Carmusciano, CEO of IAS, praised the ongoing partnership, noting that both organisations are deeply committed to the local region and share values of leadership, citizenship, and trust. Together, we are innovating in delivering quality service to our community
Launched in May 2020, the partnership has a long-term vision of supporting the Illawarra community.
As part of this ongoing collaboration, ICU attended the annual IAS induction day for the new cohort.
Our staff guide the new group of athletes on financial management, helping them build skills in saving, budgeting, and understanding the value of money.
And, at the annual IAS Presentation night, athletes who excel in their chosen sport are recognised amongst their peers. For 2024, ICU presented the 2024 Golf Athlete of the Year award to Zac Oysten.
