An annual quality assurance process would improve the integrity of the system. While there are currently some inbuilt checking mechanisms, a more formal annual process would offer more stable long term assurance.

After a preliminary analysis by ADFA, female undergraduates have been found to sustain a disproportionate number of gradual onset and sporting injuries. It is vital to ensure that injury patterns are regularly monitored and that management strategies are put in place to effectively respond and prevent further injury. ADFA has implemented a number of substantial improvements to physical training, remedial training and rehabilitation programs. The stigma associated with injury is being addressed through the removal of physical signs of medical restrictions, education programs and improved rehabilitation, however stigma still endures. To enhance access to support services for undergraduates, posters with the contact details of internal and external emergency and support services have been displayed throughout training and accommodation areas. ADFA has undertaken steps to develop partnerships with external
