Mental health and wellbeing
Access free mental health & wellbeing support services.
Sport Integrity Australia’s independent complaints process is designed to keep Australian sport safe and fair. However, we understand that going through a complaints process can often make people feel overwhelmed, isolated, confused, and anxious.
It can be an extremely challenging time for anyone involved, and it is important to look after your mental health and wellbeing and seek support if you need it. The following services are free to access.
If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, please call 000, visit your nearest hospital emergency or use any of these crisis helplines.
