Sports Central and FedUni WestVic Academy of Sport are proud to launch the Central Highlands Coaches Collective on Wednesday 22 July 2026.

Clubs across the Central Highlands, we want to hear from you! Sports Central in collaboration with Regional Sport Victoria, is pleased to launch the 2026 Regional Victorian Community Sport Census. This statewide survey is your opportunity to make sure your club’s voice is heard.

Community sporting organisations are the backbone of the Central Highlands, often driven by dedicated volunteers who foster participation, connection and pride. Recognising the challenges many face. such as volunteer turnover, limited succession planning and difficulties in attracting diverse leaders, Leading from the Front offers a practical solution. Delivered by Sports Central, this workforce sustainability program strengthens off-field leadership, committees and volunteer structures.

BASIC Clubs is a program helping sporting clubs create inclusive, accessible and welcoming environments for people of all backgrounds and abilities. Whether you’re starting your inclusion journey or building on existing efforts, BASIC Clubs provides the tools, resources and support to help you succeed.
