Skate Australia and Skate NSW Launch National Integrity Management Platform

Skate Australia, in partnership with Skate NSW, has launched a new national integrity management platform that strengthens the sport’s alignment with the National Integrity Framework (NIF) and reinforces its commitment to providing safe, fair and inclusive environments for all participants.

Developed in close collaboration with Member Organisations, the platform offers a simple, confidential and nationally consistent way for participants across Australia to raise integrity concerns. Powered by Rely’s trusted case-management technology, the system delivers clear reporting pathways and enhances visibility and coordination across all levels of the sport.

Skate Australia CEO, Alex Anasson, said the launch marks an important milestone for the organisation and the broader skating community.

“This is a significant step for our sport. A nationally aligned system strengthens Skate’s ongoing commitment to the NIF and reinforces a whole-of-sport approach to safe, fair and inclusive environments,” Anasson said.

“By introducing a consistent platform, we are enhancing the way we prevent, detect and respond to integrity matters. It ensures our community has confidence in the processes that support them. We encourage all members of our community to use these tools whenever needed so we can continue building an environment where everyone feels safe, welcomed and supported.”

Skate NSW Executive Officer, Gawaine Davis, said the organisation is proud to be one of 12 State Sporting Organisations funded to participate in the Integrity Case Management System Software Project.

“This is an exciting opportunity to utilise a best-practice digital platform that enhances our capability to manage integrity issues,” Davis said. “We look forward to continuing our close collaboration with Skate Australia to strengthen capacity in this area. We also thank Sport NSW and the NSW Office of Sport for funding this initiative and look forward to working with Rely, Skate Australia and the other SSOs involved in the project.”

The platform enables more consistent handling of integrity matters, supports the identification of trends, and strengthens prevention strategies through evidence-based decision making. Participants can access the system to report concerns via the Skate Australia Integrity Form.
