The story behind our artwork

As part of our Reconciliation Action Plan, we are proud to share the beautiful artwork created specifically for South West Sport by Stephanie Thompson (nee Clarke) of Kirrae Gunditj Art.

The artwork represents connection, culture, movement and community across South West Victoria. The meeting places represent the many clubs, leagues and associations that bring our communities together, while the journey lines reflect learning, growth and shared responsibility.

The people, gathering symbols and coolamons represent belonging, inclusion, care and support across all ages, while the flowing blue tones reflect the lands and waters of Gunditjmara Country.

At its heart, the artwork reminds us that healthy communities are active, connected and inclusive communities, where everyone has a place.

We are incredibly grateful to Stephanie for creating this meaningful piece for South West Sport and for capturing the strength, connection and diversity of the communities we support. 💙

Treasurers balancing the books at the kitchen table, secretaries answering emails at 10pm, and committee members giving up weekends for working bees. It's the reality for clubs across the region — and it's exactly why club administrators are the engine room of community sport.

At South West Sport, we offer volunteer coordination support, ready-to-use templates, and one-on-one help for committees who are stretched thin.

You don't have to figure it all out alone. Contact our Sport & Recreation Development Officer, Cameron Pyke, on the details below.

Throughout Jump Into Sport Week at Warrnambool Primary School, students had the opportunity to try netball, pickleball, hockey, soccer and touch football during lunchtime. 🙌🏼

The week created a fun, low-pressure way for students to try something new and connect with local sporting opportunities, with sessions supported by Hockey South West, Warrnambool Pickleball, Touch Football and Warrnambool Wolves Soccer.

The feedback from Warrnambool Primary School was a great reflection of the week and the enthusiasm it sparked among students.

A great turnout for our Responding to Disclosures and Building Safer Clubs Workshop last week.

It was fantastic to see so many people from across our local sporting community come together to learn, connect and strengthen the way our clubs support their members.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us, and to Women’s Health and Wellbeing Barwon South West for partnering with South West Sport to deliver such an important session.

Together, we’re continuing to build safer, more respectful and inclusive sporting environments across the South West.

Our Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan has been formally endorsed by Reconciliation Australia.

This is an important milestone for South West Sport and establishes a clear framework to strengthen relationships, respect and opportunities with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Endorsement is not the end point. It marks the beginning of a more deliberate and accountable commitment to reconciliation across our organisation and the community sport and active recreation sector we support.

We look forward to putting our commitments into action and sharing our progress along the way.

Building stronger clubs through strong leadership

A big thank you to all the volunteer club leaders who joined us in Hamilton for our latest Next Generation Club Leaders session on Wednesday night.

We’d also like to thank Kate from the Institute of Community Directors Australia for sharing her expertise and supporting our clubs in building their knowledge in governance and financial management.

Strong club leadership helps build sustainable, well-run clubs and we’re proud to support the volunteers who make our local sporting communities happen.

If your club is looking for support with club development, volunteer planning, governance, financial management or sustainability, get in touch with the South West Sport team.

Building more active, connected and inclusive communities.

South West Sport, in partnership with Warrnambool City Council, is exploring how local places and spaces can create more opportunities for our community to be active.

This week we are highlighting: Pecten Avenue

Through the South West Sport Placemaking Initiative, we’re showcasing accessible recreation spaces across Warrnambool and highlighting the many ways people can participate in physical activity outside of traditional sport.

By activating existing community infrastructure and sharing the opportunities available, we aim to support more children, young people and families to access affordable, welcoming and local ways to move.

Because being active should be accessible to everyone, wherever they live, whatever their ability, and however they choose to move.

Follow along as we showcase more locations where you can Get Moving Any Way You Can.

South West Coaches Collective is returning to Warrnambool this October

After a great response to our inaugural event in April, South West Academy of Sport (SWAS) and South West Sport (SWS) are proud to bring another line-up of nationally recognised coaches and athletes to the South West, sharing elite-level insights with our local coaching community.

We’re switching gears this time, giving attendees more time to connect directly with our expert panellists by running a single 90-minute panel discussion at Reid Oval Social Rooms — a relaxed, conversational format built around real dialogue rather than a formal presentation. Panellists will dig into the topics of athlete wellbeing and the growing space of female participation in sport, with insights relevant to coaches of every code, gender, and experience level

👀 Panellists to be announced over the coming weeks — stay tuned!

Best part? This event is completely FREE, and open to coaches of all ages, sports, and experience levels across the South West.

📅 Wednesday 7 October 2026
