Making a complaint

Engaging in any complaint process is challenging at the best of times for the strongest of people. Sometimes a form makes it even more difficult. A conversation with a human might be an easier way to get started. 

The main thing to know is that there is a place to raise questions and receive guidance, and a complaints process will be followed.

Complaints or reports relating to abuse, harassment, bullying, gambling, competition fixing or Code of Conduct breaches, can be reported confidentially to Athletics West in writing or by registering for a callback via the form below.
