How a Child Safety Assessment helps your club
Every state has different child safety requirements, and keeping up can be overwhelming. The OneSide assessment gives your club a structured way to measure how you are positioned across your policies, your people, and your processes. You'll walk away with a clear, prioritised report that shows what you have in place, what's missing, and what to do next. No legal jargon. No guesswork. Just a practical starting point.

Information overload. Zero clarity on what to actually do.
Clubs are required to navigate a wide and complex set of child safe requirements. National frameworks, sport-specific policies, and state obligations that shift and overlap. Most clubs know they need to act. Very few know where to start.
See how OneSide helps →The National Principles, the National Integrity Framework Safeguarding Children and Young People Policy, and peak sporting bodies each have their own requirements, often overlapping, always changing.
Frameworks, fact sheets, and templates exist, but none tell your committee exactly what your club needs to do.
Committee members, coaches, volunteers, contractors, students on placement, not just the people on the field.

Social Media Age Restrictions Now in Effect
From 10 December 2025, social media platforms are required to prevent users under 16 from creating accounts, a change that directly affects how clubs manage their online presence and communicate with junior members. Clubs should review their social media policies to ensure they are not engaging with or publishing content directed at under-16s on platforms where those users should no longer have accounts. The eSafety Commissioner has free resources and a 45-minute webinar specifically for community sport clubs to help navigate these changes.

There was a gap. Sporting clubs were required to meet complex child safe requirements, but the practical support to help them do it simply didn't exist.
OneSide was built to fill that gap, by someone who had seen it firsthand, from inside sporting clubs, and who had the expertise to do something about it.
Because when it comes to protecting children, there is only OneSide.
