OCGFC Zero Tolerance Policy

The Old Camberwell Grammarians Football Club is proud to be a fully encompassing sporting and social club for both men and women and the general community.

We are an accredited and active member of the Good Sports Program and abide by the rules and bylaws for the responsible serving of alcohol rules.

The Club is also an equal opportunity employer and seeks volunteers from all who can, and do give their time to the successful running of the club.

The Executive and General Committee would like to reinforce the commitment that we have, to the quality and equality of our club and would like to advise of the "Zero Tolerance" approach that will be taken, to what would be considered a breach of what is socially acceptable behaviour within the community and our club.

Any breach deemed to be outside our Club’s clearly defined boundaries will be dealt with quickly and decisively and may result in suspension and or expulsion from our club. If mediation is acceptable between the parties and the Executive and Committee, this would be the first and preferable course of action.

If there is a conflict between members of the same team, the Coach, Captain and any nominated persons required, will be responsible for any action that may be deemed necessary. If the Executive and Committee deem the action taken by the Coach and Captain to be insufficient, it may take its own course of action, in accordance with the already set actions or in place of them.

The Executive and Committee do not expect that they will have to invoke any actions against a Player, Sponsor or Member of our club, as we realize that you want a club that is well run, well attended and a safe place for you and your family.

Policy Review

To ensure this policy continues to be relevant for the operations of the Old Camberwell Grammarians Football Club and that it reflects both community expectations and the provisions of the Liquor Control Reform Act, the policy will be reviewed annually.
