HITIQ Secures Exclusive 3-Year Partnership with Hockey Australia
- Exclusive Partnership: HITIQ appointed the exclusive Official Player Safety Partner of Hockey Australia for three years
- National Reach: Over 105,000 registered participants, with approximately 92,000 players aged 12+ targeted for HITIQ's player-safety technology

HITIQ Limited (ASX: HIQ) has announced an exclusive three-year partnership with Hockey Australia, commencing in 2026. The agreement designates HITIQ as the organisation's Official Player Safety Partner and integrates PROTECT™ across Australia's entire hockey pathway -- from grassroots participation through to elite high-performance programs. Hockey Australia oversees one of the largest structured participation bases in the country, with more than 105,000 registered players, of which approximately 92,000 are aged 12+ and represent the primary demographic for PROTECT™. The partnership provides HITIQ with prioritised access to Hockey Australia's player base and represents a circa $20-25 million multi-year revenue opportunity, driven by hardware sales and repeat-cycle purchases as players upgrade or replace PROTECT™ units to maintain longitudinal tracking of their head-impact exposure. Australia's national teams -- the Hockeyroos and Kookaburras -- will also utilise PROTECT™ across training and competition environments, providing coaches, high-performance specialists and medical staff with objective data on individual and team head-impact profiles. This agreement represents a major milestone in HITIQ's strategy to embed PROTECT™ within structured, high-participation national sports and provides powerful validation at both community and elite levels.
The partnership represents a circa $20-25 million multi-year revenue opportunity for HITIQ over the three-year term through unit sales, device refresh cycles, optional upgrades, and potential expansion of player-education initiatives.
The partnership provides a scalable blueprint for HITIQ to extend its player safety technology into additional sports and federations.
