REPORTING INTEGRITY CONCERNS TO DIVING AUSTRALIA AND SPORT INTEGRITY AUSTRALIA

 

Report Your Integrity Concern

 

Diving Australia has adopted the National Integrity Framework. This means that some complaints can be reported directly to Sport Integrity Australia for management.

Anything that may constitute Prohibited Conduct under the Safeguarding Children and Young People Policy, or that may constitute discrimination based on a protected characteristic, should be reported to Sport Integrity Australia.
