Every club shares responsibility for protecting the people in it. Volleyball NSW works alongside Sport Integrity Australia, the national agency safeguarding Australian sport, and all members (athletes, coaches, officials, volunteers) are bound by the National Integrity Framework, which covers things like member protection, safeguarding, and anti-doping.
If you have a concern or need guidance, our Integrity Manager is your first point of contact.

If you see something, do something — everyone in our sport deserves a safe, fair environment.
For tax-specific questions, the ATO's guide for non-profit sporting organisations covers what treasurers actually need to know.
The NSW Office of Sport's Governance Hub goes well beyond a single guide.
It's a genuine template library: board and director resources, committee charters, constitutions, succession planning, annual reporting guides, even sample skills matrices and conflict-of-interest templates.
Worth bookmarking if your committee wants to go deeper than what's covered here.

Game Plan is a free online tool from the Australian Sports Commission that helps your club take stock of how it's really operating, covering everything from governance to volunteers to future planning, and then points you to practical resources and next steps based on what it finds.
Over 7,000 Australian clubs across 78 sports are already using it. It only takes a few minutes to set up a club profile and start building a clearer picture of where you're strong and where a bit of extra support would help.
