SafeClub: Creating safer community sports 

An initiative of Youthsafe and Northern Sydney Central Coast Area Health Service, SafeClub is a multi-award winning sports safety training program designed for community sports clubs. Using simple risk management techniques,  SafeClub helps sports clubs to immediately deal with their unique safety risks.  Visit the SafeClub website for more information: www.safeclub.org.au

Does it work?

• The evidence shows SafeClub works - a 2 year research study conducted with the University of NSW showed that the clubs participating in SafeClub significantly improved their safety measures. Download a copy of the evaluation report here.
• Common improvements included implementing a safety policy, safety plan, nominating a safety committee/coordinator, including safety as a regular agenda item in club meetings and reviewing their injury records. 

What do participants say?

“A great ‘simplistic’ version of a very complicated issue.”

“Extremely well presented, researched and prioritised into segments to fit the various clubs and club personnel expertise levels.”

“Well put together program that was not as difficult in its content as I had feared. Something in it for everyone which is very important".
