What is the National Integrity Framework?
The National Integrity Framework takes a proactive approach to mitigate integrity threats to sports and provide a safe, fair and healthy environment for participants at all levels of sport.
The Framework is a streamlined suite of policies that sets out the broad expectations for the conduct of all participants in sport. These expectations relate to safeguarding children, member protection, competition manipulation and sports wagering, and the misuse of drugs and medicines.
The Framework also includes the Complaints, Disputes and Discipline Policy. This policy outlines the procedures for managing, reporting, assessing and determining potential breaches of the integrity policies contained in the Framework. Under this policy, Sport Integrity Australia will undertake the independent complaint assessment and review process.
The Framework is designed to reduce the administrative burden on sports and provide better outcomes for sports and their members when disputes arise.
We will work with National Sporting Organisations to establish a plan and timeline to adopt and implement the National Integrity Framework. We will also provide direct assistance on specific policies as required.
