Updated Social Media Policy

Equestrian Australia has introduced an updated Social Media Policy, effective 5 December 2025. The policy is designed to help protect our sport, our people and our broader community in online spaces.

The policy applies to all participants, including athletes, coaches, officials, volunteers, parents, administrators and board members. It covers both personal and professional use of social media.

What this means for members:

• Use respectful, inclusive and professional language online
• Do not post content that is offensive, discriminatory, misleading or damaging to individuals or the sport
• Avoid commenting on investigations, disputes or confidential matters
• Make it clear when views are personal, noting that personal posts are still subject to the policy
• Take extra care when posting about or communicating with people under 18 years of age
• Respect privacy, copyright and permissions when sharing images or information

Social media plays an important role in promoting equestrian sport, connecting our community and celebrating achievements. This policy supports responsible use that aligns with Equestrian Australia’s values of integrity, respect and inclusivity.

Members are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the full policy, which is now available on the Equestrian Australia website HERE.
