MAKE AN INTEGRITY COMPLAINT OR REPORT

Sport Integrity Australia is committed to ensuring Australian sport is fair and safe for all involved.

Please contact your local law enforcement agency or dial ‘000’ if there is an immediate threat to an individual’s safety.

For matters relating to a child being at risk of harm, you may also wish to report your concerns to your local child protection agency. We cannot assist in emergency situations.

If you need mental health or wellbeing support, you can contact a support service provider:

You may also be eligible to receive support from the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) Mental Health Referral Network

Sport Integrity Australia can receive information that relates to Doping, Child Safeguarding or Discrimination in sport. This includes through the Confidential Reporting Scheme, where you can submit information anonymously to Sport Integrity Australia.

From the drop down below:

  • If you have any information about a doping activity, select ‘Doping Matter’.
  • If you have information about alleged Discrimination or breaches of the Chid Safeguarding Policy, select ‘Another Integrity Matter’.

Please select what your matter relates to. If you are unsure if your matter falls within Sport Integrity Australia’s remit, please select ‘Another Integrity Matter’ to read further information about options that may be available to you to manage your concerns.

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
  • 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, and/or
  • You can review the resources on our website to consider other resolution pathways that may be available to you.

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.

Relevant Sport
You can scroll through the list or
start typing the first word in the
name of the sport.


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. You can submit a Report to Sport Integrity Australia about alleged Prohibited Conduct.


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. You can submit a Report about alleged Prohibited Conduct.


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.

A Formal Complaint will begin a formal complaint handling process and
cannot be submitted anonymously. Reports can be submitted anonymously.
