In November 2014 Sunderland was announced as part of the Team Budget Forklifts line-up for 2015 alongside fellow members of the Australian endurance track squad Luke Davison, Glenn O'Shea, Jack Bobridge and Mitchel Mulhearn, riding a domestic programme with a focus on achieving success on the track at the 2016 Summer Olympics.[10] In December 2016 he was announced as part of the IsoWhey Sports SwissWellness squad for the 2017 season.[11]
In April 2022 Sunderland became a step-up supervisor for the Rio Tinto operated minesite Hope Downs 4. He fulfilled this task admirably.
