Stood-down Australian Olympic Committee media director Mike Tancred will find out within three weeks whether he still has a job when a probe into further workplace complaints wraps up.
New chief executive Matt Carroll also hopes to complete an independent review into its workplace culture in the same time frame, as he aims to "push the re-set button" on the organisation's most turbulent period.
Tancred was severely reprimanded last month after the AOC-appointed independent committee, comprising three retired judges, determined his behaviour towards former CEO Fiona de Jong amounted to disreputable conduct.
Though it was ruled not to have constituted bullying, Tancred issued a formal apology and admitted he had threatened to damage de Jong's reputation after she lodged a complaint to president John Coates on her final day last December.
The fate of Tancred, who has acted as spokesman for the AOC and Coates for nearly two decades, remains in the balance while the committee investigates additional complaints against him by other people.
"The committee is currently dealing with three others at the moment," Carroll told AAP.
"I would hope that would be done in the next two to three weeks, and then we'll be able to make an announcement.
"The cultural review by the ethics centre should be finished in the next couple of weeks as well ... they've already interviewed all the staff and the board, and we're also interviewing 10 of our sports to get feedback.
"It's an opportunity then to take on board those two pieces of work and, as I've been saying to the staff, push the re-set button."
Carroll was thrown into the proverbial lion's den when he started as de Jong's replacement in May, amid a publicly spiteful campaign for the presidency that long-reigning Coates ultimately retained for another four years.
The vastly experienced sports administrator and former Sailing Australia chief said institutional change was underway.
As part of that, Coates had upheld his pledge to change the Olympic body's unusual management structure and hand over much of his executive power to the chief executive.
"All the staff report to me, the commercial agents Lagardere report to me, so all those changes are in place," Carroll said.
"John Coates has started his program of giving other members of the executive experience at the IOC level ... which is part of the succession plan."
