Football Tasmania has created a new process for reporting and managing incidents which may occur on or off the pitch. This has been designed to ensure a consistent approach for clubs and individuals to report incidents to Football Tasmania, including details of incidents. This will assist in investigating and managing such incidents to resolution.
Football Tasmania (FT) take all reports seriously, however, matters reported without contact information provided or with insufficient evidence may result in these not being able to be acted upon.
A Match Incident Report Form should be completed for any incidents which clubs wish Football Tasmania to follow up.
The form should also be completed by as many individuals as possible who witnessed the incident. A word document version is available for handwritten incident reports.
