Sport Integrity Australia – National Integrity Framework Credential

What is the National Integrity Framework Credential?

The Sport Integrity Australia (SIA) National Integrity Framework Credential confirms that an individual has completed the National Integrity Framework online course and provided evidence of completion through JustFence.

This credential is required for individuals participating in Australian Fencing Federation (AFF) activities who have responsibilities under the National Integrity Framework, including:

  • Coaches
  • Fencers participating in national events
  • Media representatives
  • Certain AFF staff and volunteers

Completion of the course and verification of the credential helps ensure that all participants understand their responsibilities in maintaining a safe, fair, and inclusive sporting environment.

  • Expected standards of behaviour
  • Safeguarding and participant welfare obligations
