FAIR PLAY CODE

The Victorian government's new Fair Play Code - a code of conduct for sport and recreation in Victoria - outlines the standards of behaviour expected for everyone involved in sport & recreation.  The Code sends a clear message that bad behaviour, violence, cheating and intimidation has no place in sport.

​

There are five core values that underpin fair play:

• integrity

• fairness

• safety
