South Australia has developed a proactive program to ensure all children are safe when pursuing sport and active recreation opportunities.
Recent reports about incidents involving violence on the playing field and spectator abuse of officials and participants, has prompted the Office for Recreation and Sport (ORS) to remind everyone that sport should be a safe and enjoyable pastime for all.
We acknowledge and respect Aboriginal peoples as South Australia's first peoples and nations, we recognise Aboriginal peoples as traditional owners and occupants of land and waters in South Australia and that their spiritual, social, cultural and economic practices come from their traditional lands and waters; and they maintain their cultural and heritage beliefs, languages and laws which are of ongoing importance; We pay our respects to their ancestors and to their Elders.
