What People are saying

Melanie | Sports Development Officer, Cardinia Shire Council
Our ‘Women’s Sports Forum – Engage, Play, Participate’ was expertly facilitated by Michelle Harris from GippSport Community Solutions. The participants were excited, there was lots of buzz and amazing conversations, and even some ideas already pitched on what we can do to support and increase females to engage, play and participate in sport and physical activity in the Shire.
Chloe | Programs & Innovation lead, Latrobe Health Assembly
It was a pleasure collaborating with GippSport on the Access to Sport project. Not only are the team knowledgeable and skilled, they also bring an unparalleled level of passion to their work.
Jodie | Development Officer, Basketball Victoria
I’ve worked with Michelle and GippSport for quite a few years now across a range of strategic basketball projects and one of the most impressive aspects of their approach is their commitment to thorough and meaningful consultation. The team always takes the necessary time to ensure all stakeholders have the opportunity to participate in the process.
Stewart | President, Trafalgar Golf Club
Clubs need to be challenged from time to time. Club survival should not be measured as success and a skilled facilitator like Michelle can politely ask the questions that need to be asked to see a club not just survive but grow and succeed. Our club is now exploring new ways to work with GCS administration services to help put the updated strategic plan into practice.
Mick | Director, 2MH Consulting
We value the long term partnership we have with Michelle and the team at GippSport as the preferred technical advisors. Together we have completed a range of successful projects including the South Gippsland Tennis Facilities Plan, feasibility studies for a range of sports and many master plans that have resulted in significant infrastructure investment and high quality community outcomes.
