Patron’s Message
In addition to helping emergency services
workers manage stress and develop a strong
sense of belonging, these Games also support
the implementation of one’s own healthy and
sustainable lifestyle practices.
Nevertheless, if it was not for the outstanding
work of agency representatives, sports
coordinators and volunteers to promote and
conduct the sporting events, the immediate
benefits and ongoing outcomes may not be as
satisfying and effective.
Consequently these Games offer a chance
for emergency services workers to put some
balance back into their lives, by connecting
with like- minded people in a ‘change of
environment’ conducive to enhancing positive
attitudes.
The Victoria Police and Emergency Services
Games is an annual 10 day sporting event that
emphasises camaraderie, fitness, health, and
wellbeing of all emergency services workers.
Since 1981 the Games Federation has
endeavoured to promote these benefits,
and today it is widely recognised just how
important they really are.
For instance I recently assisted with the launch
of the ‘Wellbeing app’ which encourages
members to strengthen their physical,
emotional and social wellbeing. This has
been a modern and logical follow up to the
Victoria Police Zero Harm strategy which was
introduced to encourage every employee to
be responsible for their own health, safety and
wellbeing.
These Games also cater for people of all skills
and abilities, and I would encourage those
of you who have been a little reluctant in
the past to participate, to now take the step
and become involved. I believe that you will
be pleasantly surprised by the support and
encouragement you will receive regardless of
your own perceived level of sporting ability.
I look forward to visiting and supporting you
at some of the sporting events, and urge you,
particularly first time entrants to take the step,
register, enter and even join a team in the 2017
Games.

Chief Commissioner

President’s Message
and Wellbeing’ teams to fund and promote
the Games within their organization. Further
to this they are providing recognition for
achievement via infographics at the completion
of the Games.
Congratulations to Corrections Victoria in
winning the 2016 Games ‘Inter-Services
Trophy’. This was a truly well deserved win
based on a new system that better reflected
the participation rates of staff within the
Agencies, and ensured that all Agencies
compete on an equal basis.
Thankyou to all the staff and volunteers
involved in the successful conduct of the 2016
Victoria Police and Emergency Services Games
- 2,750 competitors were involved in these
Games which was an increase on last year.
A most entertaining launch of these Games
included the Lord Mayor Robert Doyle; the
former Minister for Emergency Services Jane
Garrett, and the Richmond Football Captain
Trent Cotchin. The launch also featured a
handball competition between the ‘Heads of
Department’ which proved to be an exciting
addition to the launch.
In regards to financial contribution and
sponsors, the agencies, APS Benefits and
now BankVic have once again provided
great support to enable sporting events to
use modern promotional strategies such as
‘feather’ banners, and to be held at the highest
quality venues.
I am aware that Agency Representatives are
embracing the promotion of the Games more
than ever. Some agencies are engaging ‘Health
Also congratulations to the Victoria Police
‘Family Violence Command’ for winning the
Chief Commissioner’s Trophy. Although this
is only a small Command, the participants
performed extremely well.
The work of Sport Coordinators is no doubt
invaluable. It is widely recognized that they
do an incredible job conducting their sporting
events. Each year they are asked to ‘step
up’ to conquer something new whether
it is developing a ‘security strategy’ to be
incorporated into their ‘Action Plans’, or getting
to know new website technology to assist
sports participants enter the Games.
Each year our medal ribbon design is receiving
rave reviews, and this year’s ribbon design is no
exception – an added bonus for doing well at
the Games I would suggest.
Let’s get out there now and promote the 2017
Games, encourage our colleagues and friends
to participate and again demonstrate how
rewarding our Games can be!

commencement date, a competitor who
withdraws from any competition will not
be eligible for a refund unless they have
endeavoured to notify the relevant Sports
Co-ordinator or the Games Office at least
two days prior to their event. A refund of
sports fees only shall be made available
when the entrant withdraws due to illness or
injury; family tradedy; unexpected ‘on duty’
requirement or emergency situations; or any
other circumstances to be considered by the
Games Federation.
Maximum Number of Participants:
Some sports may set a maximum number
of participants due to competition and /
or venue restrictions. If a competitor has
entered an event after the maximum has
been reached, but before the advertised

and the sport fee. However, if the entry was
received late and after the advertised close
of entries, the entrant shall only be eligible

nature, an application for a refund must be
submitted in writing to the Games Office
no later than one week after the completion
of the event. This also provides the entrant

circumstances when seeking a refund.

to alter or make changes to the times, dates,
locations, and event programming wherever
and whenever necessary. Notification of

the Athletics track or Field Games area.
Restrictions may also apply at other venues
depending upon spectator numbers.
Assistance is requested from all parents to
supervise their children in the vicinity of all
sporting areas.
Photographer: An official Games
photographer will attend various sporting
events. Photographs will be available for
viewing on the Games website and for
online purchase.
Security: All Sports Co-ordinators are
responsible for securing their venues and
equipment against damage. Competitors
are responsible for their own property.
Also, and in consideration to the escalating
threat of terrorism in Australia, a ‘Security
Strategy’ was introduced at the 2015
Games for Sports Co-ordinators raising
awareness about the need for increased
vigilance when conduct sporting events
in today’s environment. For further
general information on National Security
issues please visit the following website:

Medal Presentations will be made at
the conclusion of the final of each event.
Placegetters who do not attend medal
presentation ceremonies MUST arrange
delivery of their medals through the Sport
Co-ordinator. The presentation for the
Chief Commissioner’s Trophy and the InterServices Trophy will be made at the launch
of the Games.
Perpetual Trophies must be returned
immediately after presentation, for display
at the Academy, and to prevent damage.
The Chief Commissioner’s Trophy
From 2017 onwards this trophy will be
calculated in the same way that the InterServices trophy (refer to the Inter-Services
calculation method below) is calculated due
to acceptance of this method by the Games
Committee. The new participation ranking
factor creates fairer results, however
regions or departments gaining participation
and bonus points remains a key component
of the method of calculation. Every Victoria
Police employee who participates in the
Games still earns points for his/her region or
department and bonus points for placings.
Entrants to the Games MUST nominate the
region or department to which their points
are to be awarded. Retired Police Members
are not eligible to compete for The Chief
Commissioner’s Trophy.

Points. Participation Points for the Chief
Commissioner’s Trophy will be awarded to
all competitors for each event, and bonus
points will be awarded to placegetters as
follows: 1st (5 points), 2nd (3 points) and
3rd (1 point). Scratchings will automatically
penalise the region or department the
equivalent participation points. Withdrawals
due to illness and injury will not attract a
penalty.
Weighting Factors (Participation Points).
Because of the great differences in the
number of personnel attached to each Police
region or department, a weighting factor
will be employed to ensure that all regions
and departments can compete on an equal
basis. The weighting will be calculated on
the basis of the region or department with
the largest number of staff being allocated
one weighting point, and all other smaller
regions and departments being allocated
points according to their staff numbers
determined at 1 March 2017.
Risk Management: The Games Federation
has a commitment to use risk management
practices to support and enhance all the
sporting events in the Games. A ‘Facility
Safety & Game Day Readiness Checklist’ is
completed by each Sports Co-ordinator to
ensure that sports event venues are ‘fit for
purpose’, and action plans are designed to
reduce the likelihood and consequence of
injury. Further to this Sports Co-ordinators
are now expected to include a ‘Security
Strategy’ as part of their action plans –
refer to the abovementioned clause about
security.

General Information
Victoria Police Games Federation Inc.
Inter-Services Trophy
As there can be a large difference in the
number of personnel attached to each
Agency, the new weighting factor ensures
that all Agencies compete on an equal basis.
This new weighting factor better reflects
the participation rates of staff within the
Agencies, making the process fairer overall.
The new process incorporates a participation
percentage, bonus points for competitors who
enter more than one event, and medal points
for placings. The trophy will be awarded to the
Agency gaining the highest number of points
(combination of total participation and medal
points). Every member of a competing agency
taking part in the Games will earn participation
points for his or her agency and medal points
for placings. Retired emergency services
personnel and volunteers are now eligible to
compete for the Inter-Services trophy if they
meet the respective criteria. Please refer to
clause 3.5 of the ‘Conditions of Entry’.
Calculating Bonus Points and Total
Participation Percentage. The bonus points
for each agency are based on the average
number of entries per competitor per agency.
For example: Agency A has 100 staff
members, 50 competitors and 75 entries.
The percentage of employees competing is
50%, and the average number of entries per
competitor 1.50. The average number of
entries per competitor is applied as a weighting
to the participation percentage to give a total
participation percentage of 75%. The total
participation percentage is then ranked from
highest to lowest, and agencies assigned a rank
score.
Medal Points. Medal points will be awarded
to place getters as follows: 1st (5 points), 2nd
(3 points) and 3rd (1 point. Each agency’s total
number of medal points is added up and also
ranked from highest to lowest and agencies
assigned a rank score.
Overall ranking. The rank scores from the
total participation percentage and the medal
points are then added together, and the agency
with the highest score wins.
Scratching’s will automatically penalize the
Agency the equivalent participation points.
Withdrawals due to illness or injury will not
attract a penalty.
The Stuart Taylor Memorial Award
This award is presented each year for the
“Best Performance of the Games”. This trophy
is awarded for excellence not only in the field
of competition but also for enthusiasm and
willingness to be involved in all aspects of
the Victoria Police and Emergency Services
Games. The Taylor family has recently handed
over the responsibility of selecting the winner
to the Executive of the Victoria Police Amateur
Sports & Welfare Society, who will take all
matters into consideration when making their

Bob Degg ‘Volunteer of the Year’ award
Nomination forms for the Bob Degg ‘Volunteer
of the Year’ award will be available at each of
the Games venues between
24 March and 2 April 2017.
It is acknowledged that the Games volunteers
are the lifeblood of the Games – they organise,
lead, encourage and support each other, and
the participants of a variety of sports, to ensure
that everyone enjoys the experience of the
Games.
The selection criterion has been designed
to cater for all the aspects of a volunteer’s
involvement in the Games. It will also assist
to highlight the outstanding efforts and
achievements of Sports Co-ordinators, Agency
Representatives, Games Officials, Massage
Therapists and all other volunteers. This will
ensure that the award is held in the highest
regard by those eligible to receive it.
It will be sponsored by major sponsor APS
Benefits and presented at the annual launch of
the Games.
This award provides a wonderful opportunity
for the Victoria Police Games Federation
to recognise volunteers who go ‘above
and beyond’ to create a sense of unity and
wellbeing; who embrace the spirit of friendly
competition, and provide support for all
involved in the Games.
