Integrity Complaint or Report | Sport Integrity Australia

How are complaints managed?

The Complaints Process is a formal process in which Sport Integrity Australia handles specific alleged breaches of the National Integrity Framework. This process involves evaluating a matter to determine if it is within Sport Integrity Australia’s scope to progress further. The process could then include conducting education sessions or running an investigation which may result in the sport placing a sanction on a person if they are found to have breached the policy.

To be eligible to submit a Complaint:

Your sport must have adopted the National Integrity Framework. You can find out if your sport has adopted the National Integrity Framework here .
The alleged Prohibited Conduct must have occurred after your sport’s adoption of the National Integrity Framework
Your matter must relate to the Child Safeguarding Policy or Discrimination
You must be the alleged affected party (or a parent/guardian of the alleged affected party)
The person accused of the wrongdoing must be bound by the sport’s policies, and
You must be willing to provide your contact details. Complaints cannot be submitted anonymously.

Please note, the National Integrity Framework does not override a law of the Commonwealth, state or territory, which take precedence and must be complied with in the first instance.

Before you submit a Complaint, you may wish to consider if there are other avenues available to you, such as through the Australian Human Rights Commission. Please see our website resources for more information about other Complaint pathways.

If you are unsure if your concerns can be managed by Sport Integrity Australia, you can submit a Report and we will provide advice to you on appropriate options.

USING THIS FORM

When you select a sport from the list below, the form will indicate if your sport is operating under the National Integrity Framework and from what date. Based on this result, the form will provide you with your submission options – a Formal Complaint or Report.

If your sport is operating under the National Integrity Framework, you can submit a Complaint or Report about alleged Discrimination or breaches of the Chid Safeguarding Policy (Prohibited Conduct).

Please submit multiple Complaints if you wish to report separate instances of alleged Prohibited Conduct by different people.

If your sport is not operating under the National Integrity Framework, where the alleged conduct does not relate to Prohibited Conduct or occurred before the sport’s commencement date of the Framework, you should submit your Complaint to your sporting organisation.

You can review the resources on our website to consider other resolution pathways that may be available to you. If you are still unsure how to best address your concerns, you can submit a Report or contact SIA on 1300 027 232 and we will provide advice to you on appropriate options.

Sport Integrity Australia cannot intervene in Complaint processes that are already in progress, nor can we provide legal advice on specific matters.

Please note - anything in the forms highlighted in red is a mandatory field and must be completed before the form can be submitted.

All information included in this form is transmitted via secure networks and processes. Our legislation ensures that all information, including any personal details you may wish to provide, is treated as confidential and managed in accordance with strict privacy principles.

If you need assistance in understanding how to complete this form, please call 1300 027 232 and select the appropriate option.

You can scroll through the list or

name of the sport.

Please specify other sport

Did the alleged Prohibited Conduct you are reporting occur after the commencement date (listed above) of the National Integrity Framework?

Sport Integrity Australia is not authorised to manage Complaints before the sport commenced operating under the National Integrity Framework. Please submit your Complaint to the sport and attempt to resolve the matter through the sport’s processes. Refer to the sport’s website for further information and instructions.

Is the alleged Prohibited Conduct you are reporting a breach of the Child Safeguarding Policy and/or Discrimination?

Sport Integrity Australia is only authorised to manage Complaints about alleged Discrimination or an alleged breach of the Child Safeguarding Policy. Complaints about alleged breaches of other National Integrity Framework Policies are managed by the sport. You need to submit your Complaint to the sport and attempt to resolve the matter through the sport’s processes. Refer to the sport’s website for further information and instructions.

Did the alleged Prohibited Conduct happen to you (or the person you are submitting the form on behalf of, if applicable)?

To be eligible to submit a Complaint with Sport Integrity Australia, the alleged Prohibited Conduct must have occurred to you (or the person you are acting on behalf of, if applicable). Therefore, you cannot submit a Complaint about this matter, but you can submit a Report about alleged Prohibited Conduct.

Do you want to submit a Formal Complaint, or a Report?

A Formal Complaint will begin a Complaints Process and cannot be submitted anonymously. Reports can be submitted anonymously. It is unlikely a matter can progress through a Complaints Process without Sport Integrity Australia knowing the identity of the person the alleged conduct happened to. For procedural fairness, the Respondent (person accused of the wrongdoing) will be told about the allegation and be given an opportunity to respond to the allegation. If you have questions about the process, please call 1300 027 232.

I hereby declare that the information I have provided in this form is true and correct to the best of my knowledge.

I understand that knowingly providing false or misleading information to Sport Integrity Australia may be an offence under the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth).

I acknowledge that by submitting this form, the information I have provided, including my personal information, may be used and disclosed by Sport Integrity Australia as outlined in the Privacy Collection Notice.

Acknowledgement of obligations during an investigation

If you are involved in a Sport Integrity Australia investigation into a Complaint under your sport’s Complaints, Disputes and Discipline Policy, regardless of whether this is as a Respondent, a Complainant, a Witness, or a parent/guardian or support person to another person involved in the process, you will be required to keep information about the investigation confidential for the duration of the Complaint handling process, in order to ensure that the Complaints process is not compromised. This may be until the investigation is finalised, or, if a finding is made against the Respondent, may continue to the conclusion of any Appeal Tribunal.
This means that you must not discuss information about the investigation process with anyone not directly involved, including media or other people involved in the sport who are not involved in the Complaint. This does not mean that you are not able to speak on a confidential basis to an integrity officer in your sport, which may include the National Integrity Manager or Member Protection Information Officer, a legal or other professional adviser, or (if you are a Complainant or a Respondent) a person who may be able to give evidence as a Witness to the investigation to confirm whether they consent to you providing their details to Sport Integrity Australia.
You may be required to continue to keep certain information confidential after the investigation has been finalised where you have been given access to personal information or sensitive information of another person as part of the Complaints process.

any attempts to evade, or tamper with the anti-doping testing process
the possession or supply of PIEDs to athletes or sporting teams
the facilitation of doping, or related activities by athletes or support personnel.

All information is important and the more detail you provide about the incident the better. Sport Integrity Australia strongly encourages you to include as much relevant information as you can, as this will help determine the most appropriate course of action.

We encourage you to provide your details with your information as this strengthens Sport Integrity Australia’s ability to action the information.
