Complaints, Disputes & Discipline

The LA Complaints, Disputes and Discipline Policy sets out the process for resolving complaints and disciplinary action in relation to prohibited conduct under the National Integrity Framework. Complaints - related to Child Safeguarding and Discrimination (*) are managed by Sport Integrity Australia.

Complaints about other Prohibited Conduct under the National Integrity Framework will be managed by the sport at the level at which they arise. Accordingly, the issue at the club level will generally be managed by the relevant club, unless there is significant conflict of interest which cannot be appropriately managed (e.g. where the Complaint is made against a club executive or committee member) in which case it will be managed by the relevant RGB.

(*) Discrimination is unfair treatment based on a person's (a) age; (b) disability; (c) race or ethnicity; (d) sex or gender identity; (e) sexual orientation; or (f) religion.
