“Signing up to ChildSafe Australia was an easy decision for our Committee at South Yarra Soccer Club. The ChildSafe sports package ensures our club is meeting all the standards and requirements; while providing us with useful resources and tools. The 90 minute face to face culture and abuse training was extremely beneficial for our Coaches and Team Managers and allowed them to understand the requirements and processes in place. Children’s safety should be a priority for all sporting clubs; by signing up to ChildSafe Australia our club is holding itself accountable and doing everything we can to provide a safe and trusted environment for every child at our club. South Yarra SC is proud to be one of the first soccer clubs to sign up to the ChildSafe Sports package and we look forward to continuing our partnership with ChildSafe Australia in the future.”

“Just wanted to acknowledge the team at Child Safe Australia. The guidance and support they’ve provided Mt Eliza Soccer Club during the implementation of a new child safety framework has been outstanding. The education, tools and process recommendations they provide as part of their service, empower local community sporting clubs such as ours to really begin to move the dial and drive a cultural change in the area of Child Safety. I cannot recommended them enough!”
