Adopting the National Integrity Framework

By June 17, 2022No Comments

Transplant Australia is pleased to announce its partnership with Sport Integrity Australia and the adoption of the National Integrity Framework and associated integrity policies.

This is an important step in protecting our sport and our members from integrity threats like harassment, bullying, abuse, illicit drugs and competition manipulation.

By adopting the National Integrity Framework, [Sport] now has six new integrity policies which apply to all members. In addition, all complaints about possible integrity breaches will now be managed independently by Sport Integrity Australia, which we hope will ensure people feel safe to speak up about any concerns.

Transplant Australia’s National Integrity Framework comes into effect on 1st July 2022 The framework consists of six integrity-related policies, including:

  • National Integrity Framework
  • Member Protection Policy
  • Child Safeguarding Policy
  • Competition Manipulation and Sport Wagering Policy
  • Improper Use of Drugs and Medicine Policy
  • Complaints, Disputes and Discipline Policy

This means from [insert commencement date] Sport Integrity Australia will take over the management of all complaints in relation to integrity matters for our sport. That includes, abuse, bullying and harassment.

It is important that all members and participants of [sport] understand their obligations under this Framework and in particular familiarise themselves with conduct which is prohibited within each policy.

For more information about the Framework and associated policies visit our Integrity webpage. https://transplant.org.au/sports-integrity/ 

Breaches and complaints related to these policies will be handled independently by Sport Integrity Australia. Complaints related to other [sport] polices, such as Selection Policy disputes, will remain with [NSO]

Any questions can be directed to the Transplant Australia National Integrity Manager Ian Atkins via email: ian.atkins@transplant.org.au 

More information will come closer to the commencement date to explain the process for submitting a complaint under the National Integrity Framework.
