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.

Check if your sport is covered.

The Child Safety Gap Assessment is available for a growing number of sports. Type yours to find out.

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 →
Broad, layered, constantly evolving requirements

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.

Generic guidance that doesn't fit your club

Frameworks, fact sheets, and templates exist, but none tell your committee exactly what your club needs to do.

The requirements apply to everyone

Committee members, coaches, volunteers, contractors, students on placement, not just the people on the field.

Built from experience. Built for clubs.

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.

Quick check

How ready is your club?

Answer honestly — nothing is stored, and nobody sees your answers.

Does your club have a written child safe policy that the committee has reviewed in the last 12 months?
Do all committee members, coaches and regular volunteers hold a current Working With Children Check (or your state's equivalent)?
Would every junior player at your club know who to talk to if they had a concern?
Do your child safety processes cover the adults who help out occasionally — scorers, canteen helpers, parents stepping in at training?
Has anyone at your club completed formal child safety training in the past year?
Does your club have a documented complaints process designed with children in mind?
