EA Board Focused on Ambitious Reform Agenda

The Equestrian Australia Board is focused on an ambitious reform agenda as we strive to provide the best possible service we can for our diverse membership.

The recently released strategic themes developed following extensive consultation with State Branches, coaches and officials guide the future direction and priorities for the sport.

Underpinning the reform agenda is a determination to improve the culture of the sport through fair play and zero tolerance to bullying, protecting our volunteers and implementing consistent rules and complaints management processes, with an independent avenue of appeal through the National Sports Tribunal.

The EA Board is committed to transparency, openness and accountability and achieving the vision of excellence in sporting conduct and horse welfare.

Ongoing consultation and stakeholder engagement are central to the implementation of the four strategic themes:

• Excellence in risk management and compliance
• Pathways that meet all participants’ needs
• Sustainability and efficiency
• Governance and culture.

The National Office and State Branches are working hard to address the consequences of COVID-19 on the sport and our members and a safe return to competition as quickly as we can.
