With an eclectic professional portfolio of more than twenty-five years working across multiple dimensions of sport from grassroots to elite, Richard McInnes has held numerous roles within professional sports, and since 2019 has been CEO of Water Polo Australia.

As the pandemic started to unfold in 2020, Richard and many other national sporting CEOs were grappling with situations that had never previously been encountered on such a scale, and not knowing how long it would last. Joining fellow industry leaders to form a support group, the set-up evolved quickly to be formal, with Richard becoming Chair in mid-2020. Two years on, what is now a peer advisory board aptly named 'The National Sports Collective', the group meets monthly and has become incredibly diverse with members from thirty national sports, including disabilities and all abilities.

In this Advisor Insights interview, Richard discusses how the board continues to evolve with best practice principles, and the significant role it will play in the future of Australian sport.
