Respect in Sport workshops
Published on 07 May 2025
Sporting clubs across Moyne Shire are encouraged to get along to one of two Respect in Sport workshops on offer in Koroit and Mortlake at the end of this month.
Run in partnership with South West Sport these sessions will focus on building a culture of safety, inclusiveness and respect within Moyne Shire sport and recreation clubs.
Moyne Shire Mayor Karen Foster said the workshops are being run as part of Council’s commitment to Fair Access Policy which seeks to address known barriers experienced by women, girls and gender diverse people in accessing community sport and recreation.
“Clubs are asked to nominate two or three representatives, ideally including an executive committee member and mixed gender attendees as we work together to drive cultures of respect around sport,” Cr. Foster said.
“Moyne Shire is committed to supporting clubs and volunteers to create safe, welcoming, and inclusive sporting environments and build the capacity of leaders in your club to drive change.
“We also hope these sessions will support clubs to prevent violence and disrespect in their setting and progress gender equality through sport,” she said.
Clubs in attendance will also be looked on favourably when applying for future funding opportunities offered by Council and will also be in the running for a $100 door prize.
Workshop information:
- Monday 26 May - Koroit Bowls Club from 7.15 - 8.45pm
- Tuesday 27 May - Mortlake Council Chambers from 7.15 - 8.45pm
