We make sport integrity education accessible to all Australians, with the hope that we can build safe, fair sport for everyone.
Education we provide
We provide a range of education resources and interventions for everyone who participates in sport.
We cover from grassroots to elite-level athletes, their parents, teachers, coaches, sport administration staff and support personnel.
Doping in sport affects not only athletes but also their families, coaches, team managers, sporting bodies and fans.
The decision to use performance-enhancing substances compromises the integrity of fair competition.
It diminishes the achievements of athletes who compete clean, and erodes the core values of sport.
Importance of clean sport
Clean sport is about athletes being supported and encouraged to:
- compete fairly and equally
- be recognised for their natural talent and hard-earned skills
- uphold the true spirit and values of sport
- prioritise their health and well-being
- know and follow the anti-doping rules
- appreciate the role of drug testing in identifying rule violations
- safeguarding those who choose to compete clean.

- Face to face and outreach events
We deliver face to face sessions to sporting groups around the country aligning with integrity education plans developed collaboratively with our colleagues in National Sporting Organisations.
All our presenters have extensive experience in elite sport - either as an elite athlete, coach, sports medical practitioner or administrator.
They provide engaging and interactive presentations that will meet the particular needs of your group and sport.
These sessions are usually delivered at no cost to the organisation, within the resources we have available.
We can also set up outreach booths at major sporting events. For these, we provide staff, a marquee, technology and free merchandise.
We encourage conversations and answer questions with athletes, parents and support personnel.
Contact us if you want us at your next event to talk about sport integrity issues by emailing: education@sportintegrity.gov.au
The presenter was absolutely fantastic, and it lead to a really good talk about something potentially uncomfortable.

This virtual reality experience takes users through the anti-doping testing process, to let athletes experience their first test. (Without having to take their pants off).
Decision making in sport virtual reality
This virtual reality experience puts users in a series of ethically grey scenarios to let them test how they would use their values to make decisions.
