Member Welfare

At Port Fairy SLSC we take the welfare of our members seriously. 

Member protection involves the implementation of practices to protect all members of our club from discrimination, vilification, abuse and other forms of inappropriate behaviour.

We have a range of polices in place to ensure the welfare of our members is protected. Our policy can be viewed at Member Protection Policy.

Our Member Protection Officer is Ilona Carson

If you need to contact Ilona regarding matters of member welfare, please contact Ilona via mpo@portfairyslsc.com.au
