In conjunction with Healthway, Sports Medicine Australia manages the Healthy Club Sponsorship Program. This program provides an incentive for sporting clubs to identify and address a range of issues that have the potential to improve the health and safety of their members and supporters.
Incorporated clubs playing in a recognized sporting competition over the 2008 winter season may apply for up to $2500 for initiatives to make their club safer, healthier and to train and educate volunteers.
In return for sponsorship, clubs are required to become permanently and totally smoke free in all indoor areas and introduce strategies to address other health issues. Clubs will also need to develop and introduce a Healthy Club Policy addressing the issues of smoking, sun protection, sport safety, alcohol and healthy food choices. |
