The oversight and guidance for sport integrity matters in Australia has been further strengthened with the appointment of a highly experienced nine-member Sport Integrity Australia Advisory Council.
\nThe Advisory Council includes leaders from a wide cross section of sport, governance, government administration, law enforcement and child protection.
\nMinister for Sport, Richard Colbeck, said each member of the council brought with them a breadth of experience that would reinforce the work of Sport Integrity Australia in strengthening the framework of sport across Australia.
\n\u201cI am pleased to announce the nine member advisory council,\u201d Minister Colbeck said. \u201cEach member brings skills and knowledge to provide advice on all areas of sports integrity.
\n\u201cIt follows the Australian Government\u2019s recent investment of $10.1 million to introduce an independent complaints handling process within Sport Integrity Australia.\u201d
\nAppointed members include World Sailing Vice President Sarah Kenny (Chair), Paralympics Australia CEO Lynne Anderson, Golf Australia CEO James Sutherland, former elite athlete and governance expert Margot Foster, former NSW Police Commissioner Ken Moroney, former senior public servant Peter Conran, sports consultant and former elite athlete Scott Draper, former National Children\u2019s Commissioner Megan Mitchell and policy adviser Jason Marocchi.
\nSport Integrity Australia commenced operations on 1 July 2020, and is the cornerstone of the Government\u2019s sport integrity strategy.
\nThe newly appointed Advisory Council will provide Strategic advice to both the CEO of Sport Integrity Australia as well as to the Minister for Sport.
\n\u201cI am particularly pleased to announce Ms Sarah Kenny as Chair of the Advisory Council,\u201d Minister Colbeck said. \u201cHighly regarded for her national and international experience within the administration of Olympic sailing, Ms Kenny is a vice president of World Sailing, and represented Australia at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games in windsurfing.\u201d
\nHe said Ms Kenny also boasts an extensive legal career combining corporate law with a sports related practice including integrity matters.
\n\u201cExperienced in the complex wagering regulatory regime in Australia, anti-money laundering, and complex integrity issues, her leadership will be invaluable to the success of the Advisory Council,\u201d Minister Colbeck said.
\nMs Kenny said it was an honour to be appointed.
\n\u201cI am looking forward to working with the other highly respected Advisory Council members to bring together our combined experience and knowledge to advise on all aspects of sport integrity and to assist in safeguarding the integrity of Australian sport,\u201d she said.
\nMinister Colbeck said the highly qualified council members will bring enormous value to the consideration of sport integrity issues and the way they are addressed.
\n\u201cThe Government has invested heavily in protecting the integrity of Australian sport.
\n\u201cBy establishing Sport Integrity Australia and the National Sports Tribunal, increasing investment into independent compliant handling and forming the Sport Integrity Australia Advisory Council, Australians can be confident everything possible is being done to keep the sport they love clean, safe and fair.\u201d
