Game Plan
To be a successful, well-run club, you need a clear understanding of leadership, planning, people and organisational performance while maintaining a strong member focus.
Sport Australia’s has developed Game Plan a digital platform designed to provide sporting clubs of all sizes with insights into their current capability and connect them with specific tools and resources to build and support ongoing development. It will replace the existing Club Health Check.
Game Plan is designed to:
- Assess a club’s capability and performance at a time relevant to them.
- Identify areas for improvement.
- Provide access to relevant resources to support club development.
- Inform the direction and priority of activities and investment to build capability.
It is recommended you discuss your Game Plan report and any issues of concern with your State Sporting Organisation (SSO).
Policy Development
Most clubs are bound by policies provided by their governing body. If you are from an affiliated club and unsure of which policies apply to your club, you should contact your State Association.
Where a national sporting organisation has signed up to the National Integrity Framework the following sports integrity-related policies will already be in place:
- A Framework document;
- Child Safeguarding Policy;
- Competition Manipulation and Sport Wagering Policy;
- Improper Use of Drugs and Medicine Policy;
- Member Protection Policy; and
- Complaints, Disputes and Discipline Policy.
If you do not have a governing body or need to develop your own policies, there are resources available.
Member Protection Policy, Social Media Policy, Communications Policy, Disability Inclusion Policy, Spectator Behaviour Policy
Risk Management, Member protection, Code of Conduct, Child Safety, Inclusive Sport, Complaints Handling
Tobacco Management, Safe Transport, Alcohol Management, Mental Health, Supporting Junior Players, Illegal Drugs
Junior Sport - Healthy Food at Sport
Healthier Choices Canberra works with junior sporting clubs across the ACT to create healthier food and drink environments for kids at sport and supports clubs to build positive sponsorship relationships with Canberra businesses that share their values for healthy, happy kids in sport.
This initiative also provides great Resources on how to improve your canteen menu for profit and health.
Return to Play in a COVID Safe Environment Plan
All individual sport and activity providers should ensure they are complying with the ACT Government's rules for the return of sport and will need to develop a Return to Play in a COVID Safe Environment plan.
This will meet the requirements of the COVID Safety Plan. Therefore, there is no requirement to produce an additional COVID Safety Plan.
