Sport Integrity Australia Act 2020

This Act establishes Sport Integrity Australia. It assists the CEO of Sport Integrity Australia. The CEO has functions in relation to matters relating to sports integrity, including threats to sports integrity.

This Act requires the making of a scheme called the National Anti‑Doping Scheme (known as the NAD scheme). The NAD scheme implements the General Anti‑Doping Convention and the UNESCO Anti‑Doping Convention. Certain matters must be in the NAD scheme (see Division 2 of Part 2).

The CEO maintains the Violations List, which contains information about certain persons who have been sanctioned in relation to an anti‑doping rule violation.

This Act also creates the Australian Sports Drug Medical Advisory Committee (known as the ASDMAC).

The ASDMAC has various functions, including those conferred on the ASDMAC by the NAD scheme (see section 52). The ASDMAC also gives advice and information to the CEO about sports doping and safety matters, and gives information to sporting administration bodies about individual cases that involve sports doping and safety matters.

This Act contains provisions about disclosing information obtained under or for the purposes of this Act or a legislative instrument made under this Act (see Part 8).
