Member Protection

Dear Birrong Sports Club members and Supporters,

We’re just letting you know some good news about our club. We have joined the Alcohol and Drug Foundation’s new online Good Sports program and have already achieved our first accreditation.

This means we have a policy in place that covers:

• Alcohol management
• Licensing requirements
• Promotion of our club
• Tobacco management

What that means is we’ve got guidelines in place to make our club the best it can be.

We believe in safe celebrations. We don’t have happy hours and we don’t give away alcohol as prizes. And we especially want to make sure members of all ages get home again safely.

We are spreading the good news about our Good Sports membership because we want everyone to know we value the community’s support and we want to return that trust by demonstrating we are inclusive, family friendly and welcoming.

We’d love to hear from you if you are thinking of joining a club as a player or volunteer. No matter where your strengths lie, we welcome all support on the field and on the sidelines.

Please contact Club Secretary if you want to find out more about our fantastic club. We’d love to see you contact us via email at secretary@birrongfc.com.au
