Through Play It Safe, we are inviting the Central Highlands sporting community to share their perspectives on health, safety and wellbeing in community sport. By having your say, you will help us better understand local challenges, needs and opportunities and inform practical initiatives that create safer, healthier and more inclusive sporting environments across the region.
Sporting clubs, schools and community organisations across the Central Highlands can now access free support to create more welcoming and inclusive environments through the Sport4All Program. Based at Sports Central, Heidi Biggin is the Sport4All Inclusion Coach for the Central Highlands Region.
