Sport Australia, in partnership with the State and Territory Agencies for Sport and Recreation have compiled a list of websites with the most up to date information to help sporting organisations undertake competitions and programs in a safe, responsible, and low risk manner.
Important note: State and Territory governments and their public health authorities are responsible for decisions about sporting activities in each jurisdiction, both at the professional and community sport level. These may be updated from time to time as further guidance material from governments and public health authorities is provided.
Four elements of COVID safe sport
Implementing plans, processes and systems to meet government and health requirements, and provide safe sport environments.
Ensuring safe facility and participant practices, like hygiene practices, attendance registers at training and limiting shared equipment as much as possible.
Being prepared for management of a COVID-19 outbreak, noting things can change quickly in your local area.
Consideration of protocols to optimise good public and participant health into the future.
