At Tennis Townsville, we believe that every child and young person has the right to feel safe, supported, and empowered when participating in our programs. Our club is committed to upholding the highest standards of child safety and wellbeing, ensuring that all players, families, coaches, officials, and volunteers experience an environment built on respect, protection, and inclusion.
We proudly align with Tennis Australia’s Safeguarding Children and Young People Framework and actively promote a culture where safety is everyone’s responsibility. Through strong policies, continued education, and clear reporting pathways, we work to minimise risk and ensure that every young person in our community can thrive—both on and off the court.
