The ARU aims to provide a sport environment where all those involved in its activities are treated with dignity and respect, and without Harassment or Discrimination. The ARU recognises that all those involved in its activities cannot enjoy themselves, perform to their best, or be effective or fully productive if they are being treated unfairly, Discriminated against or Harassed.
The ARU prohibits all forms of Harassment and Discrimination based on personal characteristics listed in the Definitions. Discrimination and Harassment are extremely distressing, offensive, humiliating and/or threatening and create an uncomfortable and unpleasant environment. In most circumstances Discrimination and Harassment are against the law.
Descriptions of some of the types of behaviour which could be regarded as Harassment or Discrimination are provided in the Definitions at clause 11.
