The National Integrity Framework essentially provides a set of rules that all individuals within our sport need to follow when it comes to their behaviour and conduct in motorsport including their obligations to report misconduct. Those rules are contained in the following policies:
These core policies are underpinned by Motorsport Australia’s Complaints, Disputes and Discipline Policy, which explains how people who have breached a Motorsport Australia Integrity Policy are held accountable for doing the wrong thing, in addition explaining how a Complaint is managed and reviewed.
