STARCLUB Field Officer Program Strategic Plan 2018 - 2021 AN ACTIVE STATE Message from the Minister

The South Australian State Government, through the Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing, is committed to supporting community sport and active recreation organisations in regional South .

The STARCLUB Field Officer Program is a partnership between the Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing, 34 regional councils and the Outback Communities Authority.

The Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing supports regional councils to employ STARCLUB Field Officers who may work across several councils. STARCLUB Field Officers provide club development support in regional communities, including facilitating relevant training development programs.

STARCLUB Field Officers assist local sport and active recreation clubs and associations to help them:

• Understand and comply with government legislation (i.e. child safe environments). • Access resources and information that will help them to become better managed and sustainable. • Develop a strategic plan and have a clear vision going forward. • Link with key national, state and local partners and stakeholders. • Deliver quality programs. • Develop the skills and competencies of club coaches and officials. • Recruit and retain valued volunteers.

1 The STARCLUB Field Officer Program is directly aligned to the Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing’s successful STARCLUB Club Development Program, an online self-assessment tool to help clubs become a place ‘where quality coaches and officials work alongside valued volunteers in a safe and welcoming environment’.

To ensure regional clubs and associations receive the support they require, the government has committed to provide three years of funding.

We know that sport plays a vital role in bringing people together, particularly in regional communities. We are investing in the STARCLUB Field Officer Program because we want to support regional areas in delivering better sporting outcomes for their communities.
