Strategies and initiatives
Active Victoria – A strategic framework for sport and recreation in Victoria 2022-2026
Active Victoria is our plan to strengthen the sport and recreation sector and boost participation. This blueprint will also guide future grant opportunities, initiatives and partnerships.
Fair Play Code
The Fair Play Code sends a loud and clear message – that bad behaviour, violence, cheating and intimidation has no place in sport and recreation in our state.
Through the Fair Play Code we are making sure that individuals, clubs, leagues and associations know what to do if they encounter bad behaviour both on and off the sporting field.
