Sports Central is inviting the Central Highlands sporting community to have its say on the health, safety and wellbeing priorities facing community sport through Play It Safe.

Funded by the Alcohol and Drug Foundation and delivered by Sports Central, Play It Safe is gathering perspectives from across the community sport sector to better understand the challenges, needs and opportunities facing sporting clubs and their members.

The information gathered will help inform practical initiatives that support safer, healthier and more inclusive sporting environments across the Central Highlands.

Sporting clubs and community members from across the region are encouraged to participate.

Club Leaders Survey

The Club Leaders Survey is for club committee members, administrators and other club leaders to share their perspectives on the health, safety and wellbeing priorities within their club.

Sports Central is seeking one response per club, completed by the person best placed to provide an overview of the club’s experiences, challenges and priorities.

Clubs that participate can enter the draw to receive up to $2,500 worth of tailored club support from Sports Central.

Club Members Survey

Sports Central also wants to hear directly from the people who participate in and support community sport.

The Club Members Survey is open to anyone aged 18 years or over who is involved in or connected with a sporting club, including players, coaches, officials, committee and board members, volunteers, parents, carers, supporters and other club members.

Clubs are encouraged to share the survey widely across their networks to help capture perspectives from different sports, communities and experiences throughout the Central Highlands.

Respondents can enter the draw to win one of two $200 Rebel Sport gift cards.

Help Shape the Future of Community Sport

The experiences and perspectives of clubs and the people who make community sport possible will help Sports Central identify priorities and opportunities for future action.

By taking part, you can help inform practical initiatives that respond to local needs and contribute to safer, healthier and more inclusive sporting environments across the Central Highlands.

Both surveys close Monday 21st September.
