Exclusive 3 Year National Partnership with Hockey Australia

HITIQ Limited (ASX: HIQ) advises it has entered an exclusive three-year national partnership with Hockey Australia, commencing in 2026, appointing HITIQ as the exclusive Official Player Safety Partner. The partnership integrates PROTEQT™ across Australia’s hockey pathway — from grassroots participation through to elite high-performance programs — and provides prioritised access to 105,000+ registered participants, including approximately 92,000 players aged 12+ targeted for HITIQ’s player-safety technology. This represents HITIQ’s first national governing-body partnership in Australia and establishes a scalable model for expansion into additional sports and federations.

Under the agreement, Australia’s national teams — the Hockeyroos and Kookaburras — will adopt PROTEQT™ across training and competition, supporting education, monitoring tools, and player-welfare resources through objective head-impact insights. HITIQ expects the partnership to represent a circa $20–25 million multi-year revenue opportunity, driven by hardware sales and repeat-cycle purchases as players upgrade or replace units to maintain longitudinal head-impact monitoring over time.
