Netball Victoria and WorkSafe Victoria are proud to announce the 40 recipients of the 2024 WorkSafe Club Safety Fund, helping improve the safety of sporting facilities across the state for players, volunteers and spectators.
Now in its 22nd year of supporting country netball clubs, WorkSafe’s initiative provides financial assistance in regional areas, allowing clubs to update and install equipment such as post padding, defibrillators and first aid kits, as well as contributing to permanent and portable structures such as shelter sheds for umpires, fences and walkways, along with minor facility maintenance.
All Victorian country netball clubs requiring improvements to their facilities, whether big or small, are eligible to apply each year and can benefit greatly from the support of the funding awarded by WorkSafe. 95 applications were received in 2024, showing a great demand for upgraded facilities to ensure community netball can continue to thrive.
Netball Victoria CEO, Andrea Pearman said:
“Country netball continues to be the heartbeat of many regional towns across the state, and it’s imperative that the venues and facilities remain safe environments for all players, officials, volunteers and spectators, so we thank WorkSafe for this initiative and providing funds to allow netball to thrive.”
WorkSafe Victoria CEO, Joe Calafiore said:
“In regional towns, where netball is a key part of the community, it’s important to have a secure environment to protect the well-being of all players, families, spectators and volunteers so they can play and enjoy the sport they love safely.”
