Sports clubs play a vital role in our community and are
an important place for positive healthy change.
Healthy Sports Clubs encourages clubs to create
healthier environments that promote good health and
wellbeing. The initiative is built around a framework
that focuses on a whole club approach. It brings
together existing health and wellbeing efforts and
looks at how they be strengthened.

HOW DOES IT WORK? Healthy Sports Clubs shows how the health and wellbeing
of club officials, members, players, their families and the
wider community can be supported through a whole club
approach. This framework is a continuous improvement
cycle that keeps clubs improving in health and wellbeing.
The whole of club approach addresses three components
that make up a club: club connections, club culture and
club environment. They are important and support whole
of club health and wellbeing.
Clubs receive ongoing localised support and a suite of
resources to progress through the continuous
improvement cycle of the framework. All clubs will move
through the stages of commit, create, initiate and
celebrate at their own pace.
