Basketball Australia is aware of an unsolicited email currently circulating across the basketball community regarding a newly proposed external whistleblower and integrity reporting platform.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As the national governing body, Basketball Australia already maintains a robust\u202fNational Integrity Framework, which is wholly compliant with Sport Integrity Australia\u2019s standards and includes clearly established and trusted pathways for raising integrity concerns – such as breaches of conduct, conflicts of interest, match-fixing, harassment, and safeguarding issues, including child safety.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
To ensure concerns are handled securely, confidentially, and with the appropriate oversight, we strongly encourage all participants – including players, officials, administrators, volunteers, clubs, and associations to use one of the following official channels:\u00a0<\/p>\n
Via email: Contact the Basketball Australia Integrity Unit at\u202fintegrity@australia.basketball
\nVia STOPline: Use Basketball Australia\u2019s independent reporting hotline, which allows for anonymous reports if preferred:<\/p>\n
Online: Submit details through the STOPline web form (https:\/\/basketball.stoplinereport.com)
\nMobile: Download the STOPline app via the App Store or Google Play
\nPhone: Call\u202f1300 304 550\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
These trusted mechanisms are specifically designed to report matters related to integrity, safeguarding, and broader governance issues.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Utilising Basketball Australia\u2019s established National Integrity Framework ensures:\u00a0<\/p>\n
All reports go through a recognised\u00a0 Integrity Unit with expertise in handling sensitive matters.\u00a0
\nProper investigative and sanctioning processes.\u00a0
\nAlignment with policies across anti-doping, child safety, member protection, complaints and corruption risk management\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n
The unsolicited external email – and any third-party platform not recognised or endorsed by Basketball Australia – does not align with the required governance standards.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
We urge all participants\u202fnot\u202fto use such platforms, as it risks bypassing formal protocols, undermining governance, and potentially jeopardising confidentiality or fairness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Basketball Australia remains firmly committed to building and protecting a safe, fair and transparent culture throughout the sport.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
We continue to collaborate with our State and Territory member organisations, and other partners to uphold these standards.\u00a0<\/p>\n
