Tennis Australia has announced new integrity measures, including a ramped up National Integrity Unit, designed to safeguard the integrity of the upcoming summer of tennis including Australian Open 2017, Emirates Australian Open Series and the Australian Pro Tour.
With upscaled capabilities in monitoring, investigation, analysis and education, the Tennis Australia Integrity Unit was reinforced in May 2016 to combat the increasing integrity issues in the sport.
Former law enforcement officer and long-time sports management and policy expert, Ann West, was appointed to head up the unit which was recently bolstered to include two full-time experienced investigators from law enforcement backgrounds, an information and intelligence officer and a safety and risk manager.
Tennis SA is fully committed to these initiatives recently hiring Darren Sahb, Officiating Development and Policy Education Coordinator, who will be responsible for implementing an enhanced education and awareness program for all players, coaches, clubs, volunteers, officials, staff and parents.
“Darren’s appointment ensures Tennis SA continues to be a leader in educating our affiliated Associations and Clubs, players, and parents on Tennis Australia policies and procedures used to guide decision-making” said Tennis SA’s CEO, Steve Baldas.
