Sport Integrity Commission Te Kahu Raunui Webinar

Everybody involved in sport and recreation in Aotearoa New Zealand should expect to be safe and treated fairly. These activities should also be free from corruption.

That's why the Sport Integrity Commission Te Kahu Raunui​ was established. It has been set up to make sure everyone can trust — and be confident — that sport and recreation in New Zealand is safer and fairer.

The Commission was created following events spanning several years. Independent reviews (here and overseas) uncovered bullying, abuse, and other poor behaviour. So the government set up the Sport Integrity Working Group to recommend the best way to manage integrity in New Zealand sport and recreation.

The Working Group recommendations included:

• establishing a new independent organisation and
• introducing a set of minimum standards for integrity in sport and recreation.

Based on these recommendations, the government passed the Integrity Sport and Recreation Act 2023 which established the Commission and sets out their responsibilities. The Commission opened on 1 July 2024.

Join Chief Executive Rebecca Rolls (Ngāti Porou) who was appointed CE of the Sport Integrity Commission Te Kahu Raunui after her role in its establishment as Integrity Transition Programme director.

Rebecca has held leadership roles with NZ Police, the Serious Fraud Office, Corrections and Sport NZ. As an athlete, Rebecca represented New Zealand as a Football Fern and as a White Fern.

Rebecca will share the purpose of the Sport Integrity Commission Te Kahu Raunui and it's place in the recreation sector. She will also share the new Code of Integrity for Sport and Recreation (Integrity Code). Everyone who takes part in sport and recreation can have a say on the new Integrity Code as part of our public consultation, which closes on 1 November 2024.
