Safeguarding your club
Below you will find SASMA's policies and other valuable guidelines which we encourage to be implemented when your club requires.
SASMA Sports Trainer Code of Ethics
The Sports Trainer must clearly understand their defined roles and responsibilities and has a moral responsibility to work within the limits of their qualifications, and hence not assume roles outside of these. The Code of Ethics for Sports Trainers can be accessed below. These should be adhered to by all Sports Trainers.

Concussion Management Policy

Appropriate Code of Behaviour by ALL
Positive attitudes and conduct make sport enjoyable for everyone. Unfortunately, some people can ruin the experience with poor behaviour. Poor conduct and behaviour comes in many forms so it is important to understand what constitutes poor conduct and behaviour. Play by the Rules provides information on appropriate codes of behaviour.
Visit Play by the Rules website
On Field Policies (When can personnel enter the field of play)
Some sports have specific rules in regards to when support staff can enter the field or court of play. It is important for everyone to be aware of these rules, as they are in place to protect not only the players, but the individuals themselves. SASMA recommend that you check with your National or State Sporting Body’s policy in the first instance. In the absence of a policy, some specific examples can be found below.

Clubs and Alcohol (Liquor Licensing Factsheet)
If your club wishes to sell liquor, a club representative needs to apply to Consumer and Business Services (CBS) for a liquor licence. It is an offence to sell liquor without a licence. A maximum penalty of $20,000 can apply if found guilty of this offence.
