ABOUT THE COMMUNITY SPORT AND RECREATION COVIDSAFE PLAN
The Community Sport and Recreation (CSR) COVIDSafe Plan has been developed to support the community sport and recreation sector prepare to safely open and operate in accordance with the easing of restrictions, while also ensuring the public feels confident that their health and safety is being protected.
It is important to develop your CSR COVIDSafe Plan in accordance with the Community Sport and Physical Recreation Industry Restart Guidelines and the restriction level at the time (Closed, Heavily Restricted, Restricted, Open with a COVIDSafe Plan). The Guidelines can be found here: https://www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/coronavirus-sector- guidance-arts-and-recreation-services.
Communitysport and recreation workplaces, venues/facilities, associations and clubs have two options on how to reopen in line with current public health directions. They can:
-
Complete a Community Sport and Recreation COVIDSafe Plan (mandatory) OR
-
Update their existing voluntary Return to Play Plan to align with the mandatory COVIDSafe Plan template.
The template has been customised to assist sport and recreation facility owners and operators, State Sporting Associations (SSAs), National Sporting Organisations (NSOs) and peak sport and recreation bodies to prepare a CSR COVIDSafe Plan that incorporates the mandated COVIDSafe principles. CSR COVIDSafe Plans can be adopted and implemented by leagues, associations and clubs.
Communitysport and recreation workplaces, venues/facilities, associations and clubs will be responsible for completing the CSR COVIDSafe Plan and ensuring it is implemented at open workplaces, venues and facilities.
To support communication with local government authorities as community sport facility/ venue owners and their members, SSAs will be asked to upload a copy of their CSR COVIDSafe Plan on their website and make it available upon request.
In order to be compliant with public health directions, plans must:
-
Align with the directions issued by the Victorian Chief Health Officer
-
Provide complete responses and the required supporting documentation
-
Account for the current permitted level of sport or recreation activity in your plan and identify how your plan will respond to changes in permitted levels of activity.
-
Ensure that activity resumption does not compromise the health of individuals or the community
-
In addition to completing a CSR COVIDSafe Plan, you are still required to meet your obligations under the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004.
-
You must comply with a request to present or modify your CSR COVIDSafe Plan, if directed to do so, by an Authorised Officer or WorkSafe Inspector.
-
In addition to the general restrictions for all businesses, some industries require additional obligations due to a higher transmission risk.
HOW TO DEVELOP YOUR CSR COVIDSAFE PLAN 1. UNDERSTAND YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
Information on public health directions applying to organisations is available at coronavirus.vic.gov.au 2. PREPARE YOUR PLAN
Below is the CSR COVIDSafe Plan template which you will need to complete. The CSR COVIDSafe Plan is grouped into six COVIDSafe principles:
-
Ensure physical distancing
-
Wear a face mask
-
Practise good hygiene
-
Keep records and act quickly if participants, volunteers or organisers become unwell
-
Avoid interactions in enclosed spaces
-
Create workforce/activity bubbles
When completing your plan, under the ‘actions’ column of each COVIDSafe principle, you must outline the actions you will take to meet the listed requirement. You will note that if you are in a restricted
or heavily restricted industry, additional requirements may apply. If you do not believe a requirement applies to your activity, it should be marked N/A with an explanation about why it does not apply.
Mandatory requirements under public health direction feature this symbol:
-
Align with the directions issued by the Victorian Chief Health Officer
-
Provide complete responses and the required supporting documentation
-
Account for the current permitted level of sport or recreation activity in your plan and identify how your plan will respond to changes in permitted levels of activity.
-
Ensure that activity resumption does not compromise the health of individuals or the community
-
In addition to completing a CSR COVIDSafe Plan, you are still required to meet your obligations under the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004.
-
You must comply with a request to present or modify your CSR COVIDSafe Plan, if directed to do so, by an Authorised Officer or WorkSafe Inspector.
-
In addition to the general restrictions for all businesses, some industries require additional obligations due to a higher transmission risk.
3. KEEP YOUR PLAN UP-TO-DATE
Your CSR COVIDSafe Plan must be reviewed and updated routinely and when restrictions or public health advice changes. Organisations with multiple venues/facilities must complete a CSR COVIDSafe Plan for each worksite.
You do not have to lodge your CSR COVIDSafe Plan with the Victorian Government, however, you
may need to provide your CSR COVIDSafe Plan to an Authorised Officer or WorkSafe Inspector upon request, or in the event of a confirmed positive case at your workplace. There will be virtual and physical inspections as well as desktop audits to ensure the implementation of and compliance with your CSR COVIDSafe plan.
4. SHARE YOUR PLAN
Your participants, volunteers, organisers and members need to be familiar with this plan. Once you have completed the plan, share it with your participants, volunteers, organisers and members and occupational health and safety representatives or COVIDSafe officer, if applicable.
