Fair Play Code Sport and Recreation Victoria

Orienteering Victoria and all clubs adhere to the Victorian Government Fair Play Code, the blueprint that sets out the standards of behaviour expected of everyone involved in sport and active recreation.

At the heart of the Fair Play Code (FPC) are five principles of Integrity, Respect, Responsibility, Safety and Fairness. These principles apply to everyone involved in orienteering in Victoria, no matter what role they play. Bad behaviour, violence, cheating and intimidation has no place in our sport.

Sport Integrity

Orienteering Victoria has adopted the Orienteering Australia National Integrity Framework.
