STAYING SAFE - YOUR SAFETY IS OUR FIRST CONCERN
If you are in Australia and in immediate danger or in a life-threatening situation, dial triple zero (000).

Everyone from athletes, officials, parents, support personnel, administrators and spectators play a role in protecting the integrity of our sport.
