Anyone from top athletes..to coaches and weekend sports warriors can have their say on a new code that will basically form the rule book for sports and recreation in New Zealand.
An Integrity Sport and Recreation Commission is on the way with its goal to protect the safety and wellbeing of participants and to promote fairness in competition.
The legislation to create it is already before parliament, waiting on the select committee to report back. And a new code will set minimum integrity standards - but it won't be compulsory for sports to sign on.
Integrity Transition Programme director Rebecca Rolls represented New Zealand in cricket and football and she explains how the new model will help athletes.
