The WorkSafe Club Safety Fund provides financial assistance to netball clubs to enhance the safety of their courts and facilities for players, volunteers, and spectators. The fund aims to support occupational health and safety initiatives at a local level.
2025 WorkSafe Club Safety Fund
Netball Victoria and WorkSafe Victoria are proud to announce the 55 recipients of the 2025 WorkSafe Club Safety Fund, helping improve the safety of sporting facilities across the state for players, volunteers and spectators.
Now in its 23rd 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. 104 applications were received in 2025, showing a great demand for upgraded facilities to ensure community netball can continue to thrive.
Netball Victoria CEO, Andrea Pearman said:
“Netball continues to be a vital part of many communities across Victoria, and it’s essential that venues and facilities are safe for all players, officials, volunteers and spectators. We’re grateful to WorkSafe for their support with this initiative, helping clubs enhance safety and ensuring netball continues to thrive'’
WorkSafe Chief Executive Officer Ash West said:
“Working safe is a team sport, and we want regional communities to benefit from safety improvements at work, as well as their local netball club.
“I want to congratulate the 55 recipients of this year’s WorkSafe Club Safety Fund, and thank each club for giving your community a safe environment to meet together and enjoy the game they love.”
