However, these will be guidelines rather than rules, and the sports will be free to make their own decisions. “We’re engaged with Basketball [Australia] in understanding the process that they’ve undertaken ... and we’ll utilise that information to continue [to] help us expand the guidelines and make sure we’re giving sport all support we can,” Perkins said.
