IUSCA IQF Classification
Level 4 reflects defined-scope applied performance analysis, data collection, reporting and research support under guidance from senior Movement Science practitioners. The analyst contributes to decisions but does not hold final accountability for integrated athlete programming, staff supervision or wider performance strategy. The employer requires a relevant degree and ESSA Accredited Sports Scientist Level 1 (ASpS L1), along with first aid and safeguarding requirements. The degree and ESSA requirements are relatively demanding for the assessed Level 4 autonomy and should not automatically inflate classification.

Salary and Role Alignment
Amber. The advertised AUD $46.99 to $57.36 casual hourly rate appears broadly reasonable for a defined-scope analyst, but the mandatory degree and ESSA ASpS Level 1 accreditation introduce a qualification-to-autonomy mismatch. Under the IUSCA IQF Role Classification & Salary Alignment methodology, this results in an Amber rating. The casual loading, expected preparation hours and scope of independent analytical judgement should be confirmed.
