Skate Australia Invests in National Digital Integrity Platform

Skate Australia, in partnership with Skate NSW, has launched a new national integrity management platform, representing an investment in risk mitigation and the professionalisation of the sport’s administrative program.

The move strengthens the organisation’s alignment with the National Integrity Framework (NIF) and is underpinned by technology from Rely, providing a consistent, confidential, and digital pathway for handling sensitive integrity matters across all levels of the sport.

The rationale for adopting the Rely case-management technology is clear: consistency and data centralisation. The system ensures that every participant, regardless of their location, uses a nationally consistent, confidential process to raise concerns. This eliminates the operational inconsistencies that can erode participant confidence.

Emphasising the commercial implications of maintaining a high standard of safety and fairness, Skate Australia CEO, Alex Anasson, said: “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.”

“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,” Anasson said.

The initiative is directly supported by State Government funding, confirming the strategic importance of integrity capability building for emerging sporting codes.

Skate NSW executive officer, Gawaine Davis, confirmed the State Sporting Organisation is one of 12 funded participants in the Integrity Case Management System Software Project, and highligting the financial and operational support received from Sport NSW and the NSW Office of Sport.

This external funding has allowed the organisation to procure a best-practice digital platform that would be cost-prohibitive for many smaller sporting bodies acting independently.

Furthermore, the digital platform provides enhanced visibility and coordination, allowing Skate Australia and its Member Organisations to track trends and identify potential “hotspots,” moving the sport from a reactive to a proactive integrity management model.

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.
