Judiciary
Rugby Union SA's Judicial Committee is an independent panel of individuals convened under World Rugby Regulation 17 and Rugby Australia's Disciplinary Rules. Its role is to adjudicate complaints under the Code of Conduct, and conduct disciplinary proceedings for Foul Play.
Rugby Australia's Code of Conduct provides a set of standards for everyone involved in Rugby to ensure it is played in a safe, fair and inclusive environment. It outlines the procedures for reporting, complaint handling and investigations of alleged breaches. The code applies to all participants involved in the game including:
- boards, committees, sub-committees
- employees and volunteers
- managers, physiotherapists, sports trainers and other support personnel
- coaches and assistant coaches
- players
- referees and other match officials
- members including life members and hall of fame members
- member unions
Rugby Australia's Disciplinary Rules to ensure uniformity in the way disciplinary procedures are administered in the game across Australia, for foul play (red cards and citings)
Report a Concern
As we each have a duty to protect those involved in the game, it is important to report someone who has acted against one or more of our policies, so we can take appropriate action if necessary.
Three Strike Policy
The Policy is designed to deter and eliminate poor and abusive behaviour exhibited during any community Rugby activity by making Clubs accountable for their participants' behaviour by imposing incremental Strikes and penalties on Clubs.
