Sport Integrity Australia (SIA) is establishing a new Culture and Safety Advisory Committee to provide a voice for people from diverse backgrounds with lived experience to inform and shape SIA’s strategies and activities to ensure they are culturally sensitive and appropriate, and the vision that sport is safe and fair for all Australians. We are seeking Expressions of Interest from people who have significant experience working with, and personally identify or connect with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, those from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds, people with a disability, LGBTQ+ people, and women and girls, to express your interest in joining the SIA Culture and Safety Advisory Committee. Individuals from diverse backgrounds, experiences and genders are encouraged to apply. SIA is committed to gender equity and striving for a 50/50 gender balance on the committee ensuring diversity in design, implementation and decision-making. Our aim is to achieve a gender equity among members balanced with a focus on merit, expertise and alignment to the committee’s objectives. This is your opportunity to drive meaningful and systemic change, advance diversity, equity and inclusion and make a lasting impact on the integrity and safety of sport for all participants.
