The Positive Behaviours in Sport Study is the first of its kind and aims to seek thoughts and feedback from coaches and participants/athletes around what they think about the fairness and safety of sport in Australia.
The insights from this study of sport will allow Sport Integrity Australia to understand the current level of knowledge Australians have in relation to sport integrity issues.
Most importantly, the information will be used to work alongside our colleagues in sport to improve education and awareness programs in the future.
