Member Protection Information Officer Network Gathering

Active Tasmania invites you to attend our upcoming Member Protection Information Officer (MPIO) Network Gathering, designed to connect MPIOs, share insights and strengthen skills in fostering safe sporting environments.

MPIOs play a vital role in supporting safe, fair and inclusive sport, by providing guidance to members on their rights and supporting them through complaint processes.

Every sport should strive to have at least one trained MPIO in each region.
