Member Protection

In December 2006, Netball Victoria adopted the Netball Australia Member Protection Policy.

Netball Victoria in line with Netball Australia is committed to treating all people with respect, dignity and fairness. These values, along with the basic right of all netball members to participate in an environment that is enjoyable, safe and healthy, has resulted in Netball Australia developing specific objectives to create a safer and more tolerant sporting environment. 

Netball is not immune to acts of discrimination, harassment and abuse and in fact shares the common features of most sporting environments where close physical and emotional relationships can develop and inappropriate or unlawful behavior can take place. 

The adoption of the Netball Australia Member Protection Policy reflects Netball Victoria's commitment to serving and protecting its members and participants throughout all levels of the sport. Through working together, the netball community can prevent discrimination and harassment and create a safe and supportive environment for all participants at all levels.
