Club support and development
Healthy, sustainable clubs have a clear understanding of their rules, leadership, goals and performance while maintaining a strong member focus.
The Community Services team aims to assist in building capacity in our sporting clubs and community groups to ensure they remain sustainable.
- Are you having trouble interpreting your club's constitution?
- Do you need help developing your club's strategic plan?
- Are you unsure of the roles and responsibilities of your committee members?

- Are there any other issues within your club that you would like assistance with?
