What is member protection?

Member protection is a term used by the Australian sports industry to describe the practices and procedures that protect an organisation’s members — both individual members such as players, coaches and officials, and the member organisations such as clubs, state associations, other affiliated associations and the national body. It involves:

• protecting members from harassment, abuse, discrimination and other forms of inappropriate behaviour
• adopting appropriate measures to ensure the right people are involved in an organisation, particularly in relation to those involved with juniors
• providing education
• promoting and modeling positive behaviour
