At Easts Hockey Club, the safety and wellbeing of all children and young people is our highest priority. Every child has the right to feel safe, protected, and supported, and to participate in hockey in a positive, inclusive, and enjoyable environment.

Easts Hockey Club aligns with Hockey Australia’s commitment to safeguarding children by promoting safe, respectful, and child-friendly environments. This includes ensuring all members, volunteers, coaches, and officials understand their responsibilities to protect children and young people from harm.
