Reporting
HOW TO RAISE A CONCERN
Everyone from athletes, officials, parents, support personnel, administrators and supporters play a role in protecting the integrity of our sport. Australia Jujitsu Federation works with SIA to coordinate and manage complaints and reports.
Complaints received will be evaluated and either managed by Australian Jujitsu Federation, referred to SIA or an appropriate external agency, or where the complaint is out of scope, passed back to the complainant with suggested pathways for them to pursue.
If you see or hear something that doesn’t seem right, say something!
WHO MANAGES COMPLAINTS?
As a member of a sport that has signed up to the National Integrity Framework, you can make a Complaint if you believe a fellow member has behaved poorly and potentially breached one of the policies.
If the Complaint is about an issue relating to child safeguarding, discrimination, or anti-doping you can make a report to Sport Integrity Australia.
All other integrity complaints should be submitted to and will be managed by Australian Jujitsu Federation or the relevant state or club where it occurred.
Complaints can be submitted via email to sport.integrity@jujitsu.com.au.
