We're a Good Sports club

Good Sports: Level One

Well done to us!

We’re committed to a healthy community and a more family-friendly club environment.

And now we’ve achieved Level 1 accreditation in the Good Sports Program, Australia’s largest and longest-running health initiative for community sports.

Run by the Alcohol and Drug Foundation for the past two decades, Good Sports guides clubs through a process that is primarily focused on responsible alcohol consumption.

Our first involvement with the program has focused on the responsible serving of alcohol, compliance with liquor laws and ensuring smoke free areas.

These are steps to help us provide a healthy, safe and family-friendly environment.

We want our club to become an even more enticing place to locals, supporters and also to visiting clubs.

The program helps us to:

• Attract new members
• Model good behaviour for younger club members
• Create a safer and inviting club environment
• Reduce or avoid alcohol-related incidents
• Be healthier and more connected.

This is just the start of our journey in creating safe community attitudes towards alcohol.

What’s next for our club - The Good Sports program involves three levels and we’re committed to working towards them all. Level 2 assists clubs by putting in place a range of practices on responsible alcohol management, such as having food available when alcohol is around, providing safe transport options to members and guests, and having a responsible revenue generation strategy in place.
