Netball NSW implements a COVID-19 Vaccination Policy (20/12/21)
As New South Wales continues to navigate through the evolving nature of COVID-19, Netball NSW has endeavoured to take the necessary steps to stabilise the game and make the required adjustments to ensure netball remains in a strong position to recover.
With the continued easing of NSW Government restrictions, Netball NSW has approved a COVID-19 Vaccination Policy for Netball NSW Staff and the use of Netball Central in an effort to promote the resumption of netball and reconnection of our communities, complying with work health and safety obligations, and to ensure a safe environment for all involved in our sport and organisation.
To maintain the health and safety for all athletes including NSW Swifts and GIANTS who train at Netball Central, volunteers, members and staff the decision has been made to introduce a mandatory vaccination requirement for all persons entering Netball Central.
This means to enter Netball Central; it is required:
- All persons above the age of 16 are fully vaccinated.
- All persons not vaccinated must have a medical exemption.
Unless acceptable evidence of vaccination is shown to Netball NSW staff, admission to Netball Central will be refused.
This policy applies to all Netball NSW activities that take place at Netball Central including, but not limited to, State Team Trials, Premier League and Metro League.
Given the ever-changing nature of COVID-19, Netball NSW will regularly review the Policy and reserves the rights to amend it as and when required.
