Medication, Supplements and Prohibited Substances

Alcohol

  • Alcohol: a performance impairing drug
  • Alcohol and Sport – not a good mix
  • Liquor Licensing Requirements – If a club sells alcohol, regardless of if it is for only one event or on it is on a regular basis then it is important that the club applies for and receives the appropriate liquor license or NFP exemption.   Once your club has its liquor license or NFP exemption it is vitally important that you comply with the conditions of the license or exemption at all times.  NSW government the department of industry-liquor and gaming provides on their website all the information clubs need to know about their obligations when serving alcohol in NSW.

No Smoking at Sport Venues

Under the Smoke-free Environment Act 2000, smoking is prohibited in outdoor public areas, including:

  • Spectator areas at sports grounds used for organised sporting events
  • Within 10 metres of children’s play equipment in outdoor public places;
  • Public swimming pools
  • Public transport stations, bus stops, ferry wharves and taxi ranks;
  • Within 4 metres of an entry to a public building
  • Commercial outdoor dining areas

Individuals have an obligation to comply with this requirement at sport venues and be considerate of others. Clubs have a responsibility to provide a smoke-free workplace for workers and volunteers and should ensure that adequate No Smoking signage is in place and that every effort is made to maintain a smoke free environment at sport venues for players, officials, spectators and visitors
