The Gymnastics Program at the AIS is a residential program based in Canberra which began in 1981. The aim of the program is to develop an internationally competitive team in both men's and women's artistic gymnastics. The current Men's head coach is Warwick Forbes with Ju-Ping Tian as the head coach of the women's section. The Gymnastic Facility at the AIS provides a world class training hall for men's and women's gymnastics.
All equipment is set up on a permanent basis.
There is a 30m x 2m concrete pit filled with foamrubber which is used for training. Recent advances to the facilities include the addition of new uneven bars and a sprung floor. The age of scholarship holders ranges from nine years upwards for girls and from ten years upwards for boys. Residential accommodation is available for athletes from interstate, but parents of young scholarship holders frequently move to Canberra so their child can live at home. Recent performances indicate that the AIS gymnastics program has significantly improved the standard of gymnastics within Australia and has propelled Australian gymnasts into the forefront of international gymnastics.
