WorkSport Integrity
Specialists in impartial, evidence based investigations across workplaces and sporting environments, with specific capability under Sports National Integrity Framework.
We collect and assess information, interview where required, and report clearly on whether allegations are substantiated on the balance of probabilities.
We review the request and provide a comprehensive scope and quote aswell as providing assistance in managing any immediate safety or welfare risks.
We gather documents, digital records, and witness statements and any other relevant information, making sure to maintain confidentiality throughout.
We conduct fair, respectful interviews, collate statements and transcripts as required.
We deliver clear factual findings supported by evidence, based on the balance of probabilities with practical options to resolve and mitigate future risk.
We act without bias or influence and treat all parties fairly. Our investigators work to national standards and legal obligations, recognising the sensitivity of both workplace and sporting environments.
Workplace and sport investigations conducted by WorkSport apply the civil standard of proof, known as the balance of probabilities. This means that findings are made based on whether it is more likely than not that the alleged conduct occurred, having regard to all available evidence.
In applying this standard, WorkSport is guided by the principles established in Briginshaw v Briginshaw. These principles recognise that the seriousness of an allegation and the potential consequences for the individual involved require a careful and rigorous assessment of the evidence. More serious allegations demand clearer, more cogent evidence before a finding can be made.
This approach ensures investigations are fair, balanced, and defensible, and that findings are reached through a reasoned evaluation of the evidence rather than speculation or assumption.
We match the most suitable investigator to each matter. Our team includes both female and male investigators with varied backgrounds across government, community, policing and sport.
