Former teammates Remi Kamo and Donnell Wallam have taken to social media to accuse Netball Australia of being complicit in silencing complaints after the release of independent findings from an investigation over claims of a toxic culture at the Queensland Firebirds, their former club.

Kamo first made a formal complaint to Netball Australia last year about her experience of the Firebirds' management which triggered the investigation.

While Wallam did not go through the same channels, she did support complaints made by Kamo.

The outcome of the investigation found there were no breaches of the governing body's policies, and following a litany of complaints from the Māori and Noongar women, the pair's final year of their 2024 Firebirds' contracts were not renewed.

Wallam was the leading Australian goalscorer of the competition in her two of three previous seasons for the Firebirds, only shooting less goals each season than Jamaican ace Jhaniele Fowler-Nembhard.

While the specifics of the complaints have not been publicly revealed, it is understood the allegations made by Kamo centred on Netball Queensland, through the Firebirds, being a toxic workplace where players were 'gaslighted'.

Following the complaints, Kamo and Wallam did not seek to play for another Suncorp Super Netball club, instead moving to join the New Zealand domestic competition.

Neither player attended the club's end-of-season awards function, with both unfollowing the Firebirds on all social media platforms.

Kamo reportedly held 'private conversations' with Netball Australia officials, according to CODE Sports, that ultimately was unsuccessful, although she suggests both parties did find common ground over an admission that the sport at the highest level in Australia was, in fact, "toxic".

"The way this played out is exactly why I made a complaint in the first place," Kamo, a qualified psychologist, wrote in an Instagram post.

"There is a silencing culture (of women - shock horror) in the sport in Australia, where if you have any opinion, diversity, courage - then you are othered - a 'troublemaker' while the people benefiting from the silence stay in their positions of power and control the narrative.

"Shame on you Netball Australia for being complicit despite verbally confirming to me that the environment was 'toxic'.

"Good on you for upholding the 'policies' that don't protect your employees or the safety of our sport."

Kamo and Wallam had already departed the Firebirds at the end of last season in disgust before the findings were delivered.

They are set to both play netball in Auckland this year, but for rival crosstown sides.

Netball Australia has not yet indicated whether Wallam's choice to relocate across the Tasman will rule out the five-time Australian Diamonds international from future Tests.

Wallam, who will play for back-to-back ANZ Premiership champions, Northern Mystics, posted on her Instagram page support for Kamo's stance.

"So proud to stand in solidarity with @remikamo," Wallam wrote.

"You stood up with strength, courage and resilience some can only dream of.

"We know the truth and we will heal and move on.

"They know the truth and that's what they have to live with."

Netball Australia engaged an independent company which specialises in workplace inquiries to investigate the claims to ensure there was greater transparency.

The Australian Netball Players Association remarked "from our perspective, the matter is not yet closed".

A statement from the ANPA wants to work further with Netball Australia to reach an "appropriate resolution for players".

"Following notification of the outcome of Netball Australia's findings, the players have repeatedly asked Netball Australia to provide a copy of the investigation report or, alternatively at least a summary," ANPA chief executive Kathryn Harby-Williams said in a statement.

"Netball Australia has declined these requests.

"It is difficult for ANPA and the players to accept Netball Australia's determination that there has been no breach of Netball Australia's policies without this further detail."

Netball Australia also refused to directly respond to media requests over Kamo's and Wallam's social media comments in regard to no breaches being found.

The governing body pointed to Netball Australia chief executive, Stacey West's statement days earlier which she issued straight after the investigation's conclusion.

Kamo first made the complaints last August, with Netball Australia immediately appointed an independent investigator to investigate complaints of alleged breaches of the Netball Australia Code of Conduct and Member Protection Policy by Netball Queensland and members of its Firebirds staff.

"The investigation has been completed with an independent investigator finding that based on the evidence considered the allegations were not substantiated in relation to specific breaches of these codes and policies," West said.

"For these reasons, no further action will be taken with respect to the allegations made.

"Netball Australia wishes to reiterate, in a broader context, that we expect all participants in our game to be treated fairly, and with care, at all times.

"We encourage the 'speak up culture' and will continue to take necessary steps to examine concerns when they are raised.

"We will also continue to listen, learn, and respond to ensure everyone feels safe."

Under its process, Netball Australia did not specifically name Kamo in its findings, nor were the Netball Queensland staff allegedly involved in the complaint.

It is understood parties involved in the probe took part on the condition of anonymity.

Netball Australia has said it will show a greater commitment to addressing key behaviour principles, including ongoing education on bullying, harassment, cultural and psychological safety, and to also improve awareness around the policies across all eight Suncorp Super Netball clubs.

Netball Queensland, which holds the licence for the Brisbane-based Firebirds, released a statement of their own, saying it was pleased the matter had now concluded.

However, during the past seven months since Kamo's allegations sensationally first broke, Netball Queensland has not addressed the matter once.

"The Queensland Firebirds club has cooperated fully throughout the independent investigation," the statement said.

"For further enquiries, we refer to Netball Australia's media statement on the matter."

Former Queensland Firebirds head coach Bec Bulley parted ways with the club last year with five games left in the season.

There is no suggestion of any wrongdoing against Bulley.
