Wyndham Basketball Launches Body Camera Trial to Enhance Safety

Wyndham Basketball Association (WBA) is taking a proactive step to ensure a safer, more welcoming environment across its competitions and events with the launch of a 12-month Body Worn Camera (BWC) trial. Beginning on June 2, the initiative will see authorised Competition Supervisors and WBA Executive Team Members wearing BWC during senior domestic competitions on Monday and Wednesday evenings at Eagle Stadium.

The trial, developed in consultation with key stakeholders including Western Leisure Services, Wyndham City Council, and Basketball Victoria, aims to reduce antisocial behaviour and support safer community sport. The BWCs will only be activated when necessary, in public spaces, and patrons will be notified when recording begins.

Strict protocols have been put in place to protect the privacy of players, staff, and spectators, ensuring all footage is managed in line with legal requirements. Clear signage, staff training, and online communications will keep the community informed throughout the trial.

WBA and WLS will assess the impact of the trial and use the findings to guide future decisions. For more details, click here or contact the association directly at (03) 9742 5440 or info@wyndhambasketball.com.
