Report An Integrity Issue

Every member of the Pony Club^® community, including riders, officials, parents, and supporters, plays a crucial role in upholding integrity. If you observe any misconduct, please report it to us promptly. Make a complaint

Complaints Handling

At Pony Club Australia^®, we are committed to managing complaints transparently and fairly, ensuring that all concerns are addressed impartially to maintain our standards. Pony Club^® should be a fun, fair, and safe environment where everyone can enjoy learning to ride and care for horses. Unfortunately, passionate pursuits can sometimes lead to unacceptable behaviours that need to be addressed. If you believe someone has breached an eligible policy, rule, or regulation, you can report the behaviour or make a formal complaint.

Formal complaints: These trigger formal action by Pony Club^® or Sport Integrity Australia.
Reports: While they may not always result in formal action, they can prompt further steps if deemed necessary.

Who handles what?

Sport Integrity Australia: Manages alleged breaches of the Safeguarding Children and Young People policy, discrimination in sport, and doping in sport.
Pony Club Australia^®: Addresses alleged breaches of relevant policies, rules, and regulations at the organisational level most suited to handle the issue.

The Pony Club Australia^® complaints form helps ensure your concern is directed to the appropriate organisation for resolution. Make a complaint
