- The Department of Victorian Communities funded a study to evaluate the policies and practices of State sporting associations (SSA) in Victoria. The study was conducted in 5 phases which were (1) invite all SSAs to submit their sports injury risk management (SIRM) policies which were content analysed; (2) interview key informants from 12 selected sports; (3) develop a survey instrument for clubs and local associations; (4) survey approximately 720 clubs and local associations and (5) do observations of practices at competition and training for the 12 selected sports. The objectives of the project were to investigate the effectiveness of SIRM policies in sport and to identify barriers and facilitators to SIRM implementation. The overall aim of the project was to develop a framework for the development of sports activity standards for SIRM in Victoria.
