Member Protection Information Officer

Member Protection Information Officer (MPIO) training is an important tool sporting organisations can use to promote a safe, fair and inclusive environment for all.

This training provides the required knowledge and skills to become a recognised MPIO.

An MPIO provides information about the rights, responsibilities and options available to individuals making a complaint in sport. MPIOs are impartial and do not mediate or investigate complaints. They may operate within a club, state association or national sporting organisation, or in an independent capacity.

This free training opportunity is broken up into two parts. Both parts must be completed to gain MPIO recognition:

Part 1: Online course (self-paced – must be completed prior to attending Part 2)

Part 2: Facilitated online workshop (places are limited, please choose one session to attend)

• Monday, 20 July 2026 | 7:30pm – 9:30pm

The online course modules include:

• Sport Integrity Policies
• Providing Information

The facilitated online workshop, delivered by Morgan Lander, reinforces the key aspects of the MPIO role covered in the online course and provides practical examples to work through and discuss. A focus on the key communication skills required is explored.
