Integrity is the
basis of sport's reputation for fair and ethical behaviour. The
department acknowledges that industry leadership is essential to retain
community confidence that sport in Western Australia is being played in a
safe, fair and ethical way.
The incidence of integrity issues across areas such as sports
betting, child safety, drugs (performance and image enhancing drugs,
illicit drugs and alcohol), concussion, corruption, violence and
inappropriate behaviour threatens the positive reputation and image of
sport and recreation.
It’s important to proactively develop responses to safeguard the
integrity and values which makes sport and recreation a fundamental part
of Australian culture.
