TA Coaching Code of Ethics

Triathlon Australia uses a standard Coach's Code of Ethics form for all coaches wishing to apply for ACCREDITATION OR REACCREDITATION to the Australian Sports Commission's National Coaching Accreditation Scheme.

Coaches should be aware that signing this form is a commitment to maintain the highest possible ethical standards as a triathlon coach and that breaches of the Code may lead to disciplinary action including de-registration.

How to use these forms:

1. On accreditation and re accreditation coaches are asked to read the Code of Ethics and sign the Code of Ethics agreement form, (both can be found as PDF files on this page) in addition to other accreditation / re accreditation requirements, eg completing written assessment tasks, attending a coach education course, completing practical hours under the guidance of a mentor / tutor coach.
2. All coaches should read the Code thoroughly and if necessary contact Triathlon Australia, the Australian Sports Commission or consult independent legal advice for further explanation prior to signing. Coaches should also refer to the Australian Sports Commission's Harassment Free Sport web page:
   http://www.activeaustralia.org/hfs/
3. Coaches should then submit the signed Code of Ethics agreement form together with their other accreditation / re accreditation requirements to their State Triathlon Association for LEVEL ONE ACCREDITATION / RE ACCREDITATION or to Triathlon Australia for LEVEL TWO AND LEVEL THREE ACCREDITATION / RE ACCREDITATION.
