Member Protection
Everyone should feel
included and safe.
Safety and inclusion is crucial and the
Rugby Australia Member Protection Policy aims to do this.
The Member Protection Policy and the Rugby Australia
Code of Conduct are both in place to provide a safe,
fair and inclusive Rugby environment.

INCLUSION POLICY
Rugby has and must continue to be a sport where players, officials, volunteers, supporters and administrators have the right and freedom to participate regardless of gender, sexual orientation, race or religion and without fear of exclusion. There is no place for any form of discrimination in our game and our actions and words both on and off the field must reflect this. (Rugby Australia)
MEMBER PROTECTION POLICY
Rugby Australia aims to ensure all participants are treated with respect and dignity and that they are provided with a safe and enjoyable environment in which to play or to otherwise be involved in rugby.
SAFETY AND WELLBEING
The Rugby Australia Code of Conduct provides a set of standards for everyone involved in Rugby to ensure it is played in a safe, fair and inclusive environment. It also outlines the procedures for reporting, complaint handling and investigations of alleged breaches.
Report a Concern
Rugby Australia’s policies and procedures aim to ensure the game is run effectively, fairly and safely and that all participants behave in a positive and appropriate manner.
Their list of policies can be accessed via the Integrity Section on their website.
