Education | Sport Integrity Australia

We want to protect athletes, prevent doping and maintain the integrity of Australian sport. To do this, we need to educate people about the benefits of keeping our sports clean.

We provide education resources about sport integrity for all levels of athletes, their parents, teachers, coaches and support personnel.

We are always creating new content to help you, so keep an eye out for new resources as we create them.

Currently, we have educational content on:

anti-doping
match fixing
illicit drugs
ethical decision making.

These are in different formats, including:

eLearning courses
videos
print items
digital items
apps
virtual and augmented reality
targeted face to face sessions
outreach events and a schools’ program to support the National Health and Physical Education Curriculum.

Face to face and Outreach events

Our Clean Sport Educators provide face to face education sessions for sporting groups around the country.

All presenters are either current or former elite athletes.

They provide engaging and interactive presentations that will meet the particular needs of your group and sport.

We provide these sessions as either Government-funded or on a user-pays basis.

We can also set up and attend a booth 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.

eLearning

Apps and virtual reality

We have other digital resources that are fun to use and educational at the same time.

These include our apps:

Sport Integrity app
Health Effects of Doping augmented reality app

We also have an Anti-Doping Sample Collection virtual reality experience.

We continue to upgrade these, so watch for new versions.

Sport Integrity app

The Sport Integrity mobile app is a ‘one-stop-shop’ for you to:

Check medications on Global DRO.
Find low risk ‘batch-tested’ supplements.
Report an integrity issue or suspicious activities.
Check whether you need an in-advance Therapeutic Use Exemption.
Give feedback or ask a question about integrity matters.
Find out guiding information on all sport integrity issues, anti-doping rules, testing programs, health effects of doping, supplement and nutrition advice and more.
The Sport Integrity App has been downloaded by more than 30,000 Australians and is free to download from Google Play or Apple stores.

Health Effects of Doping

Explore the health effects of taking performance enhancing substances with this augmented reality app.

You can create your own athlete avatar who will experience all the negative health effects of doping right before your eyes.

Using your phone’s camera, you can peer inside your avatar to see how various Performance and Image Enhancing Drugs (PIEDs) change your heart, lungs and nervous system.

The Health Effects of Doping App is free to download from Google Play or Apple stores.

Sample collection virtual reality

Experience your very first sample collection (testing) experience in the comfort of your own home.

This doping control experience takes you through the entire sample-collection experience, and you don’t need a VR headset to undertake the experience.

You will experience what it is like to provide a virtual urine sample, without any of the anxiety of your first real test.

You will learn what you will have to do during a test, as well as your rights and responsibilities as an athlete.

Available through the Sport Integrity App (look in the MENU) and also available on the web.

Schools program

It is important that our future elite athletes, coaches and support personnel understand about integrity in sport.

To help, we have developed free school resources and professional development opportunities for teachers.

Resources include:

Lesson Guides to complement health and physical education curriculum subjects
various award-winning online courses
mobile apps
posters
electronic advertisements
classroom activities
assessment materials.

To assist teachers with our school content, we have produced the Secondary Schools Resource Kit to further explain our resources and where they can be used with elite pathway athletes and within the classroom.

We can also provide low-cost school visits to talk about subjects such as:

‘food first’ nutrition messaging
the risks of supplements
the dangers of performance enhancing and image enhancing drugs.

These are presented by our team of elite athlete Clean Sport Educators. Information about our fees can be found on our fees page.

Our education staff can also visit your school for free teacher professional development sessions (either in person or via a webinar). These will help you understand and apply our education material, online learning tools and curriculum-aligned lesson plans guides.
