Australian Sailing Launches New Safety Hub

In the lead up to the summer sailing season, Australian Sailing has launched a new online Safety Hub which combines practicality with accessibility.

All available resources relevant to both on and off-water sailing activities can now be easily accessed via the Safety Hub, making it easy for club personnel and sailors alike to ensure their safety practices are up to date.

Risk & Incident Management

Managing risk at your club

Community and recreational groups, such as sailing clubs, need to be aware of risk and potential injury or harm to people.
