Volunteers
Volunteers are the heartbeat of the netball community. To support associations, leagues, and clubs in developing strong volunteer programs, Netball Victoria recommends utilising the free, practical, and empowering resources provided by Volunteer Victoria. These resources are designed to equip volunteers with the skills and confidence they need to make a meaningful impact. Don’t forget to reach out to your association, league, or club for volunteer opportunities and take advantage of Volunteer Victoria’s valuable resources to strengthen and grow your organisation.

The Victorian Government’s new Fair Play Code – a code of conduct for sport and recreation in Victoria, outlines the standards of behaviour expected for everyone involved in sport and recreation. At the heart of the code are the five core values that will lead to fair play for all – integrity – respect – responsibility – fairness – safety.
Good Sports gives local sporting clubs access to the tools, resources and support they need so they can get on with enjoying their sport.
Sport and volunteering are interlinked. In the community sport sector we know that volunteers ensure the activities of every sport of any size and at all levels go ahead, are well run, and are safe, accessible and inclusive. Volunteers come out in huge numbers in all weathers and at all hours to ensure sport activities take place. It is our volunteers who allow sport to form a critical part of the fabric of our communities.
