Sport Australia
Sport Australia promotes and supports the development of a cohesive national
sport sector that creates opportunities for all Australians to participate and excel in
sport and physical activity.
National sporting organisations (NSO) recognised by Sport Australia are required to
have a Member Protection Policy or equivalent.
The Sport Australia Member Protection Policy template was developed to assist
NSOs to write their own sport-specific member protection policy. It is one of several
steps to address issues of harassment, discrimination and child protection within an
organisation.
Play by the Rules
Play by the Rules is a website that contains information, resources, tools and free
online training for sports clubs and participants about discrimination, harassment,
child safety, inclusion and integrity issues in sport.
Templates for Member Protection Policies and Codes of Conduct are available on the
Play by the Rules website.
