Good Sports Accredited

What is Good Sports?

We’re proud to announce we’re now an accredited Good Sports club! Good Sports is Australia’s largest and longest running health initiative in community sports. It’s free for all Australian community sporting clubs, and almost 10,000 clubs are proud to be part of the Good Sports team. Good Sports will help us build on our strong club culture, so we can be champions of positive change, and continue to be a thriving, safe and family-friendly club.

How it works

We’re a proud Good Sports club! Good Sports provides all the resources and support that our club needs to create a healthier and safer environment. We’ll create a policy covering alcohol management, smoking regulations, mental health, illegal drugs and safe transport.
