Integrity Workshops and Training
Maccabi Australia’s Integrity Training is the foundation of its efforts to building a safe, respectful, and ethical sporting environment. Designed for athletes, coaches, officials and volunteers, the training provides essential education on topics such as fair play, respectful behaviour, child safety, inclusion and anti-discrimination. By equipping members with the knowledge and tools to uphold Maccabi’s values, the program reinforces a culture of integrity, accountability and community responsibility both on and off the field.
The Maccabi Integrity Education Plan is made up of three Maccabi-specific integrity training courses and one Sport Integrity Australia training course. The courses you are required to complete are determined by the role you hold within Maccabi. Below, you can see which roles (both volunteers and paid staff) need to complete which courses.
