Dispute Resolution Initiative

As part of the ongoing True Sport commitment in strengthening the capability of sports across Western Australia, we are pleased to share an exciting new initiative. SportWest, in partnership with the Department of Creative Industries, Tourism and Sport (CITS) and in collaboration with Sport Integrity Australia (SIA) and the National Sports Tribunal (NST) is working to establish a Dispute Resolution Initiative. 

The Initiative will include a service that is being designed to provide a trusted, qualified, and independent option to support State Sporting Associations (SSAs) in managing disputes and complaints. It will complement, not replace, your existing internal systems and processes. 

The service will primarily offer independent mediation, panel members and investigators for matters referred by SSAs, particularly those involving governance issues, conflicts of interest, internal grievances or broader disputes that would benefit from neutral facilitation.
