Policies and Governance

OWA is committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and respectful environment for everyone involved in our sport. We strive to build an equitable and diverse community where the rights, dignity, and well-being of all individuals are valued and protected. This commitment forms the foundation of a positive culture of excellence, enabling athletes, coaches, staff, officials, and volunteers to participate free of abuse, harassment or discrimination.
