In addition to the ASC Restorative Program, the following support options are also available to you as people in the high performance system.
Details are outlined below, however, if you still have questions or concerns, please contact the ASC Restorative Program team (restorative@ausport.gov.au) for guidance.
Our support team is available to answer any questions you may have:
If you are going through a difficult time with your mental health or you want some advice on how to improve your wellbeing, the AIS Mental Health Referral Network (MHRN) is a group of expert psychologists and mental health clinicians who understand the pressures and complexity of life in a high performance setting.
Whether you have been or are an athlete, a coach or a support staff member in high performance sport, connect with the MHRN to access free and confidential support for yourself or to refer someone else.
If you have been impacted by sexual misconduct as a result of your involvement with sport, or you are seeking information to prevent or respond to observed sexual misconduct, you can contact the ASC Sexual Misconduct Helpline.
The ASC Sexual Misconduct Helpline is a confidential helpline available to assist people in the Australian sports community.
If you need immediate support, please contact Lifeline. Lifeline is a national charity providing all Australians experiencing emotional distress with access to 24 hour crisis support and suicide prevention services. They are available 24 hours a day to listen, without judgement to any person in Australia who is feeling overwhelmed, experiencing crisis or longs to be heard.
