Club & Community Wellbeing Committee
We are pleased to introduce the Club and Community Wellbeing Committee!
This team of incredibly inspiring and compassionate people share a wealth of knowledge and experience in the field of mental health and wellbeing.
We recognise that supporting the wellbeing of our players, coaches, members and community is the key to unlocking the full potential of our people both on and off the field.
This committee will be a point of contact for club members and support initiatives and programs to promote connection, belonging and a healthy club and community.
