The Breach Notice was issued by Netball Victoria, the Respondent. Netball Australia was the relevant National Sporting Organisation. The findings made against the Applicant related to alleged breaches of both Netball Victoria and Netball Australia policies related to child safeguarding and member protection.

In summary, the NST Member upheld the majority of the substantiated allegations and determined that, amongst other things, the Applicant be banned from all netball related activities undertaken by Netball Victoria and Netball Australia for a period of 10 years, commencing 11 February 2025. 

This Determination was appealed by the Respondent, which is prescribed case reference NST-E26-588.
