Risk Assessment Template

The rapid onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has caused an immediate and unprecedented impact on the mass participation sports events industry. This has resulted in a historic number of event cancellations and postponements, loss of jobs and subsequent economic impact on the secondary industries that service these events.

The industry comprises thousands of independent event operators and related suppliers, that rely on registrations and corporate sponsorships to facilitate operations, pay employees and produce events. The full effect of the COVID-19 impact has yet to be realised. However long the pandemic continues, bans on mass gatherings (including mass participation sporting events) are likely to stay in effect.

The Alliance has been formed with the purpose of presenting a collective voice to lobby Government to provide relief and support for our industry and to advocate for Alliance members. This document forms the guidance, COVID-19 risk identification and mitigation and a road map for the way forward.
