Golf Australia’s core values include respect, inclusion and and building stronger and safer sporting environments for everyone involved in our sport. We will ensure that child safety is embedded in our organisation’s culture, reflected in our policies and procedures, and understood and practiced at all levels of our sport.

We are committed to the safeguarding of children and young people, under the age of 18, and to ensuring that they can enjoy their sport and feel safe, valued and encouraged to reach their full potential.

It is essential that we reduce the risks of abuse and harm to children and young people, and provide a safe and supportive environment that focuses on fun and physical activity that builds their confidence and awareness through positive learning and development.

We are also committed to assisting all Golf Australia staff, Board members, officials, coaches, volunteers, affiliated clubs, consultants, contractors and licensees to fulfil their child protection and safeguarding responsibilities by adhering to our Member Protection Policy and code of conduct.

We hope you find the resources in our Safe Sport Framework clear, accessible and easy to use.
