Respect in Sport Workshops – Strengthening Equality and Respect

Published on 27 May 2025

The Rural City of Wangaratta, in partnership with Sport North East, is inviting local sporting clubs to participate in the upcoming Respect in Sport Workshops this June at the HP Barr Community Centre, in Wangaratta.

These free, engaging, and informative sessions are designed to help clubs foster a culture of equality, safety, and respect, with a special focus on empowering women and girls in sport. By attending, clubs will not only contribute to building more inclusive sporting environments and strengthening club culture, they will also improve their eligibility for future grant funding.

All sporting groups within the Rural City of Wangaratta are encouraged to attend. Clubs are encouraged to send up to three representatives, ideally including: one executive committee member, one female club member, and one male club member.

“We want to create local sporting environments where everyone—regardless of gender, age or ability—feels respected, safe, and included,” said Irene Grant, Mayor Rural City of Wangaratta “This workshop is a practical step toward that goal.”
