WARC's in-house policies

Member Protection Policy

• This policy provides a broad framework upon which our specific rowing-related policies are based.

• Particularly useful for dispute resolution and Club/Rowing WA/Rowing Australia relations

Healthy Club policy

• This is the standard no smoking, responsible service of alcohol policy which protects WARC and members.

Coach and Member support

• This policy provides an outline of the responsibilities WARC has to coaches and members.

New members and visitors

• This policy provides an outline of how the club should aim to manage new members and visitors.

Junior Athlete Policy

• Athletes aged under 18 may have special requirements in terms of safety, supervision and access. This policy outlines the strategies the club can employ to address those requirements, in addition to the Member Protection Policy.

Responsible Use of Facilities Policy

This can be summarised with the following:

• You don't live at the Club, so don't sleep there

• You don't own the Club's stuff, so don't "borrow" it for personal use. You'll probably find that's called stealing

Training Policy

• This policy includes river rules and regulations around training

Boat Use Policy

• This policy details systems for reporting damage and boat allocations, including the use of dinghys and naming protocols for new boats.

Private Equipment Policy

• Own a boat? Space is at a premium at WARC (when is it not!) so our private equipment policy aims to provide guidance on balancing athlete requirements with the best interests of the Club as a whole.

Life Members Policy
