DanceSport Australia is pleased to announce its partnership with Sport Integrity Australia and the adoption of the National Integrity Framework and associated integrity policies.
This is an important step in protecting our sport from integrity threats and providing all our participants with a safe and inclusive environment whilst enabling complaints to be handled consistently and independently by Sport Integrity Australia.
We want everyone in our sport to feel safe to speak up about concerns in our sport which is why this is such an important step for our sport. From 1 January 2022 Sport Integrity Australia will take over the management of all complaints in relation to integrity matters for our sport. That includes, abuse, bullying and harassment.
DanceSport’s National Integrity Framework comes into effect on 1 January 2022. The framework consists of six integrity-related policies, including:
- National Integrity Framework
- Member Protection Policy
- Child Safeguarding Policy
- Competition Manipulation and Sport Wagering Policy
- Improper Use of Drugs and Medicine Policy
- Complaints, Disputes and Discipline Policy
It is important that all members and participants of DanceSport understand their obligations under this Framework and in particular, familiarise themselves with conduct which is prohibited within each policy. For more information about the Framework and associated policies visit our Integrity webpage
Breaches and complaints related to these policies will be handled independently by Sport Integrity Australia.
Any questions can be directed to the DanceSport National Integrity Manager Riana Morellini - gensec@dancesport.org.au.
More information will come closer to the commencement date to explain the process for submitting a complaint under the National Integrity Framework.

You can view all policies under the National Integrity Framework, as well as other DSA Rules and Policies on our Rules Page.
