Sport Integrity

The Australian Jujitsu Federation in partnership with Sport Integrity Australia has on 8th October 2022 adopted the National Integrity Framework and associated integrity policies. This follows extensive collaboration to ensure each policy both aligned with our sport, in addition to satisfying the intent of the National Integrity Framework.

This is an important step forward for our sport in ensuring we provide a safe and fair environment for everyone who participates and maintaining our National Sporting Organisation status with Sport Australia.

The National Integrity Framework is a suite of new integrity policies around issues such as child safety, member protection, illicit drugs, competition manipulation and others. With effect from 27th October 2022, all members of Australian Jujitsu Federation will be bound by these policies.

In addition to the new policies, Australian Jujitsu Federation have also adopted a new independent complaint handling process, run by Sport Integrity Australia. This means that all members can raise any integrity concerns directly to Sport Integrity Australia, who will review each complaint, and make any disciplinary decisions, independent of the Australian Jujitsu Federation.

The Board laid out details regarding each of the then pending policies within the Framework, together with the progress on the consultation, at the relevent Annual General Meetings.

The suite of policies within the framework are listed on our Policies page.

What do you need to know?

All members and participants should familiarise themselves with the National Integrity Framework and in particular the Prohibited Conduct contained within each policy. To facilitate this all members will be required to provide a link within their website or on their schools Facebook page, or if you have neither, then provide the link within other documentation to members.

New complaint handling policy: if you have a concern or complaint about an integrity matter related to the above policies, about an incident occurring on or after 27th October 2022, you can submit your concern directly to Sport Integrity Australia using their webform or by phoning 13 000 27232. Australian Jujitsu Federation will continue to manage all other complaints unrelated to these policies.
