A two day conference will be held from Thursday 3 – Friday 4 March 2016 titled ‘Champions for Change – How Sport is Tackling our Big Issues’.
Bookings for this Conference are now closed, however, if you are still interested in attending please contact the Active Living Department on (03) 5832 9431.
The Champions for Change Conference will showcase programs where elite sport has become a platform for delivering community health outcomes and tackling social issues that are faced by health, education and community services.
The conference provides an opportunity for sport to learn from government, the private sector and philanthropists about why they view sport as an important driver to deliver health promotion programs and how sport can best position itself to leverage off these opportunities.
The plan for the conference focuses on projects and programs that fit within the following streams:
- Closing the Gap
- Connecting Cultures
- Health and Wellbeing
- Investing in Community Development – Why Sport?
