Safety and wellbeing of our community - especially our young people - remains our highest priority. We have liaised with Tennis Australia and Tennis Victoria, who have confirmed that all accredited coaches are required to hold valid Working With Children Checks and National Police Checks. These requirements continue to be enforced.
