Welfare

Ormeau FC has first aid resources available onsite to assist with injuries and medical situations during training and match days.

• An AED/Defibrillator is located in the equipment room at the northern end of the clubhouse.
• Ice bags and a small first aid kit containing band-aids, small bandages, and basic supplies are also located in the equipment room.
• A larger first aid kit is available in the club office, containing additional medical supplies including basic pain relief medication, an asthma inhaler, adult and child EpiPens, slings, tape, bandages, and other essential first aid items.

To access the larger first aid kit, please speak with a ground official, committee member, or canteen staff member.

Player safety is a key priority, and all injuries requiring formal reporting should be documented as soon as possible.

If an injury occurs that requires reporting, please complete the Injury Report Form OFC INJURY report and either:

• Hand the completed form to canteen staff for filing, or
• Email it directly to welfare@ormeaufc.au

First aid kits are available in both the equipment room and club office, with injury ice bags accessible from the equipment room.

Prompt reporting helps us ensure appropriate follow-up, record keeping, and player welfare support.

Ormeau FC is more than just a place to play football—it is a community where children, young people, and families should always feel safe, supported, and respected.

If you feel a child may be at risk in any way, please contact our Welfare Officer at welfare@ormeaufc.au so appropriate support or assistance can be provided. All correspondence is handled in strict confidence.
