Sport Integrity Australia (SIA) has partnered with Deaf Sports Australia (DSA) to develop a new Auslan (Australian Sign Language) presented video for deaf and hard of hearing Australians about their integrity responsibilities in sport.
DSA is a national sporting organisation providing opportunities for deaf and hard of hearing people to participate in sport, from grassroots to the international level.
The new video resource explains key integrity themes for sport, including:
- the National Integrity Framework
- how to recognise behaviours that are unacceptable or reportable
- what to do if something does not feel right.

SIA’s Head of Sport Engagement, Alexis Cooper, said SIA and DSA’s productive relationship is ensuring the deaf and hard of hearing sport community is not left behind in the integrity space.
“SIA has worked closely with Deaf Sports Australia to help them adopt and embed the National Integrity Framework,” she said.
“This important education resource will play a key role in continuing this work. The video was a collaborative effort with the team at Deaf Sports Australia, and we look forward to sharing it with their members across Australia.”
The video uses Auslan to interpret the presentation by SIA education staff, along with captioning, which allows for easy reference for the deaf and hard of hearing community.
DSA General Manager Phil Harper said a key part of keeping sport safe and fair at all levels is better access to information in Auslan for members.
“Awareness of what ‘Integrity in Sport’ means for our Deaf Sport organisations and clubs is vitally important,” he said.
This Auslan translated training video will help them better understand their roles and responsibilities; they will also be able to use the video to educate their members.
