National Integrity Framework
Bowls Australia’s Sports Integrity page outlines all matters related to the National Integrity Framework.
The National Integrity Framework is a set of policies that apply to everyone involved in our sport and which sets expectations about behaviour and conduct in Bowls. There are four core policies which make up the National Integrity Framework. These are:
- National Integrity Framework
- National Integrity Framework – Summary of changes
- National Integrity Framework – Safeguarding Children and Young People Policy
- National Integrity Framework – Competition Manipulation and Sports Gambling Policy
- National Integrity Framework – Improper Use of Drugs and Medicine Policy
- National Integrity Framework – Member Protection Policy
These core policies are underpinned by the Complaints, Disputes and Discipline Policy, which explains how people who have breached a National Integrity Framework policy are held accountable for doing the wrong thing.
The National Integrity Framework brings consistency across Australian sport. For further information check out the National Integrity Framework FACTSHEET and VIDEO.
Anti-doping Policy: Bowls Australia’s Anti-Doping Policy is the Australian National Anti-Doping Policy, effective from January 1, 2021, and found here on the Sport Integrity Australia website. All members, participants and non-participants in the sport of Bowls are bound by these rules.
Should you require the assistance of the National Integrity Manager, please view the National Integrity Framework page.
