Former SPASA WA CEO Bryce Steele convicted on seven charges

Bryce Steele, the former CEO of SPASA WA from 2014 to 2021, has been convicted on seven counts of stealing from the WA association.

SPASA Australia released the following statement:

A former employee of the Swimming Pool and Spa Association of WA (SPASA WA) has been convicted of seven counts of stealing as a Director/Officer. Sentencing will take place at a later date.

Mr Bryce Steele left SPASA WA in February 2021.  A thorough internal investigation was initiated after discovering discrepancies in financial records, with all findings handed to WA Police.

The conviction confirms that Mr Steele abused a position of trust and the members he purported to serve.

It is fair to say members have been both shocked and disappointed by news of Mr Steele’s actions, but we are pleased to say the Association has moved on and is in a new chapter following the recent amalgamation with SPASA Australia.

We are thankful that we were able to identify this matter and are very confident that the Association now has much stronger governance arrangements in place.

There is no tolerance for anything but the highest standards of integrity at SPASA and we will continue to work very hard in the best interests of all our members.
