• Club Governance Webinars — a three-part series covering: 

1. What Makes a Successful Committee Successful
2. Meeting Management
3. Managing Conflict and Difficult People 

These are structured to support committees in their practice, helping avoid common governance pitfalls.  

• Game Plan — Self-assessment tool 
  This is a structured self-review tool (developed in partnership with the Australian Sports Commission) that helps clubs and class associations audit their governance, leadership, and organisational health. The tool then links users to suggested improvement steps, templates, and further readings.  

• Integrity & Safeguarding Guidance 
  The Governance section connects users to the National Integrity Framework (NIF), providing policies and systems to mitigate risks to integrity, child safety, fairness, and compliance, all with the aim of easing administrative burden.  

• Position Descriptions, Strategic Planning & Codes of Conduct 
  Organisations can access ready-made position descriptions for committee roles, strategic planning guides, incorporation guidance, and sample Codes of Conduct to adopt or adapt. 

• Case Studies and Resource Links 
  To make governance practical and realistic, the page links to examples of how other clubs and class associations manage change, grow membership, or improve volunteer engagement.  

• Insurance, Employment, Incorporation 
  Support is provided on key structural themes like how to employ staff (or transition from volunteer-run), how to legally incorporate your association, and what insurance options a club may need.  

• Streamline your workload 
  Rather than reinventing the wheel, committees can access ready templates and procedural frameworks, saving time, reducing risk, and improving consistency across seasons. 

• Improve accountability & clarity 
  With clear position descriptions, codes of conduct, and governance guidelines, roles are transparent and expectations well understood, crucial when navigating turnover or volunteer transitions. 

• Mitigate risk & protect reputation 
  Governance tools help clubs proactively manage integrity, member safety, conflict, and compliance, helping guard the club’s standing against legal or reputational issues. 

• Support growth & sustainability 
  Through strategic planning and self-assessment (via Game Plan), clubs can spot gaps, track progress over time, and ensure they’re building toward the future instead of just reacting to day-to-day issues. 

• Tap collective wisdom 
  

  The inclusion of case studies lets administrators learn what’s worked (or not) in other clubs, and to adapt these lessons to their own context. 

1. Visit the Governance Page 
   Explore the webinars, download templates, and take the Game Plan assessment. 

2. Schedule a Governance Review Session 
   Use the resources in a committee workshop, e.g. run through Game Plan together and commit to 1–2 improvement actions. 

3. Adopt & Adapt Templates 
   Tailor position descriptions, codes of conduct, meeting procedures and governance policies to your club’s nuances. 

4. Monitor & Review 
   Use the self-assessment over time to track improvement, revisit policies, and progressively grow institutional capacity. 

5. Share within Network 
   Encourage neighbouring clubs or your class association/s to adopt similar practices, and exchange lessons learned.
