SafeClub was developed jointly by Youthsafe and Northern Sydney Central Coast Area Health Service.

Youthsafe

Youthsafe is an independent, non for profit organisation and the peak body for youth injury prevention in NSW.
Youthsafe works across a range of settings where young people are injured- road safety, workplace safety, sports safety and recreational safety, including safer partying.
Youthsafe maintains strong links with community based groups, professionals working with young people, research bodies, industry and government decision makers because we recognise the importance of partnerships in making a real impact on youth injury.

Northern Sydney Central Coast Health (NSCCH)

Northern Sydney Central Coast Health’s (NSCCH) vision is Healthy People Now and in the Future.
The Health Promotion service within NSCCH provides leadership in this area by using a range of population wide strategies to change personal, organisational and social behaviour to prevent ill health before it occurs.
One of the key Health Promotion priorities set by NSW Health is the prevention of obesity in the population. To achieve this, NSCCH Health Promotion engages in strategies to increase physical activity and healthy eating in a number of settings including schools, workplaces, the built environment and community sports. In partnership with Youthsafe, the development of SafeClub is one such strategy that has proven to be very promising in promoting participation in sport and physical activity by improving the safety practices of community sporting clubs.
