Members Code of Conduct

Melbourne Storm believes that all people that interact with the club including members, supporters, suppliers, volunteers, contractors, sponsors and corporate partners, together with their guests, have the right to enjoy games and events in a safe and supportive environment. To this end we require all people interacting with the club to follow the Code of Conduct.

Each person in their interaction with the Melbourne Storm, including attending a Melbourne Storm game, event, function or on social media must:

1. Act as ambassadors for the Melbourne Storm and the game of rugby league and, as such, conduct themselves in a way that reflects our values and promotes the club;

2. Not abuse the match officials, venue employees, security, players and Melbourne Storm employees and officials, including the use of crude or abusive language or gestures, insults, threats, intimidation, assault, provocation or otherwise act in an abusive manner;

3. Respect the rights, dignity and worth of every person regardless of their gender, race, colour, religion, language, politics, nationality or ethnic origin or choice of NRL team;

4. Not use nor encourage the use of violence in any form, whether it is by other spectators, team officials (including coaches) or players;

5. Not engage in discrimination, harassment or abuse in any form, including the use of obscene or offensive language or gestures;

6. Not be intoxicated or under the influence of drugs;

7. Follow Melbourne Storm’s dress codes, where appropriate;

8. Comply with any terms of entry of a venue, including bag inspections, prohibited and restricted items such as flares, missiles, dangerous articles and items that have the potential to cause injury or public nuisance;

9. Not throw missiles, including on to the field of play or at other spectators, and must not enter the field of play or its surrounds without lawful authority;

10. Adhere to and comply with the conditions of entry to a Melbourne Storm home game or any other venue hosting a Melbourne Storm event; and

11. Conduct themselves in a manner that enhances, rather than injures, the reputation and goodwill of Melbourne Storm, the NRL and the game generally.

Any person who does not comply with this Code or who otherwise causes a disturbance may be evicted from the venue and/or event and banned from attending future matches and/or events. Where a person that interacts with the club is entitled to receive certain rights and benefits (such as membership benefits, sponsor entitlements or accreditation entitlements), Melbourne Storm reserves the right to suspend or terminate those rights and benefits should the person’s conduct harm, or is likely to harm the reputation of the Melbourne Storm, or causes or is likely to cause an unsafe environment.
