How to Report a Concern
HOW TO RAISE A CONCERN
Wrestling Australia has adopted the National Integrity Framework. This means that some complaints can be reported directly to Sport Integrity.
Sport should be a safe and fair place for all participants. At Wrestling Australia, we offer a safe place for people to raise concerns about behaviour they’ve witnessed or experienced in sport as well as find more information if they have an integrity question.
STAYING SAFE
YOUR SAFETY IS OUR FIRST CONCERN.
If you are in Australia and in immediate danger or at risk of harm, call your local law enforcement agency or dial triple zero (000).
Everyone from athletes, officials, parents, support personnel, administrators and supporters play a role in protecting the integrity of our sport. Wrestling Australia works with Sport Integrity Australia (SIA) to coordinate and manage complaints and reports. Complaints received will be evaluated and either managed by Wrestling Australia, referred to SIA or an appropriate external agency, or passed back to the complainant with suggested pathways for them to pursue where the Complaint is out of scope.
If you see or hear something that doesn’t seem right, say something!
Questions about any integrity related matters can be directed to the Wrestling Australia Complaint Manager:
