About Camilla Brockett
Camilla is Deputy Leader of the Sport Performance and Business research program within the Institute for Health and Sport. She oversees industry-driven research consultancy that provides a holistic, multidisciplinary approach to improving sport engagement, performance and athlete development pathways.
Camilla’s portfolio consists of research engagements with national and international industry and government stakeholders including the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS), Sport Australia, Paralympics Australia, the Australian Football League, the Australian and Victorian Governments, as well as high-performance and sport-development initiatives with federal and state governments of India.
Prior to VU, Camilla worked at the AIS for over nine years managing projects that identified innovative, world-leading practices in areas such as sports science and sports medicine service delivery, operating practices and program management. Her work benchmarked these methods against current practices in Australian sport. Camilla has also consulted on organisational and strategic high-performance sport-planning to various sporting organisations, including New Zealand Academy of Sport, Auckland University Millennium Centre for Sport & Health, Women’s Tennis Association Tour, Canoeing Australia, Australian Rugby Union, Swimming Australia, Triathlon Australia, Fremantle Football Club and the Western Bulldogs Football Club.
With expert knowledge of sport principles and practices in the Australian and international sporting systems, Camilla works with high-level professionals including national policy makers, performance directors, senior practitioners/scientists and coaches to provide research-informed solutions to improve systems for sport development and performance.
