Independent Complaints Process - Sports Integrity Australia and Football Australia

As you may have seen from recent reporting, Football Australia has announced the establishment of a dedicated independent complaints procedure in partnership with Sport Integrity Australia and the National Sports Tribunal.  This procedure will allow Sport Integrity Australia to receive and handle complaints and reports on a range of allegations including abuse, bullying, child abuse, child grooming, endangering the safety of a child, harassment, sexual misconduct, unlawful discrimination, victimisation, and vilification at the elite levels of Australian football, including matters in the W-League competition.  

 Sport Integrity Australia will receive submissions from 1 November 2021 through to 31 January 2022.  Further details about the independent process is available here: Independent Complaints Handling Process (Football Australia) | Sport Integrity Australia.  A summary of the independent SAI process is available here: [link to PDF document]

 Today, Football Australia announced further support.  More details are available here: Wellbeing support confirmed for Football Australia process
