Build a culture of respect across your community or club.

Community groups and sporting clubs bring people together, shape attitudes and establish expectations for how people treat one another.

Our training gives leaders, staff, volunteers, coaches, officials, players and members the knowledge and practical tools to promote equality, challenge harmful behaviour and support people safely.

The current situation in Australia

Training for your community

For sporting clubs

Sport has a powerful influence on culture, identity and belonging.

Training can support your club to strengthen respectful behaviour across leadership, coaching, playing, volunteering and supporting from the sidelines. Sessions can be tailored for committees, coaches, officials, senior players, volunteers, parents and members.

For community organisations

Community organisations help establish what is accepted, encouraged or challenged.

Training can help staff, volunteers and members build a shared understanding of respect and equality, recognise concerning behaviour and feel more confident responding to someone who may need support.
