Should sport and recreation organisations or centres offer childcare?
Sport, recreation and fitness organisations do not have to offer childcare. Organisations that offer childcare can however benefit greatly from increased membership and revenue generated from increased use of their facilities, and improved marketing opportunities. Childcare offered by sport, recreation and fitness organisations is usually classified as temporary care. Temporary childcare services should only be available for the duration of the physical activity program, or sporting event, and only to the participants and supporters involved in that program or event.
