Conflicts of interest
Conflicts of interest are common in South Australian rowing and most can be managed. Coaching at a club, school or SASI, or being a Head of Rowing, Director of Rowing or Teacher in Charge, is permitted provided it is disclosed.

You cannot hold a Selector or coaching role if you are trialling, or intending to trial, as an athlete for a State Team, or if you are a sponsor of a prospective athlete. A family or personal relationship with an athlete trialling for a program prevents you from being a Selector or CSSP member for that program, and must be disclosed and managed by abstention for coaching roles.

If a conflict arises after you apply, you must tell the Rowing SA CEO as soon as possible. See the Conflict of Interest Policy.
Are you trialling, or intending to trial, as an athlete for any 2027 State Team?
Are you a sponsor of a prospective athlete?
Do you have a family or personal relationship (by blood, marriage or de facto partnership) with an athlete likely to trial for a 2027 State Team?
