Law enforcement plays a vital role in helping protect the integrity of sport.
Reporting threats like the use or trafficking of performance and image enhancing drugs to Sport Integrity Australia, helps prevent criminal activity linked to organised crime.
Even minor tips can lead to proactive action, protecting athletes and preserving fair competition.
Our role in law enforcement
We play a national coordination role for all sport integrity related matters, including investigating threats to sports integrity and providing assistance and advice to sports.
We work with key partners including law enforcement to reduce the integrity threats through proactive preventative actions.
Law Enforcement Partnership Program
In 2024, Sport Integrity Australia launched the Law Enforcement Partnership Program to strengthen collaboration with law enforcement.
The initiative aims to drive information sharing and joint operational efforts to address cases involving potential criminal activity that threaten the integrity of sport.
Our aim is to improve how we prevent and respond to sport integrity threats in Australia through collaboration.
National Strategy for Information Sharing
The National Strategy for Information Sharing enables these opportunities with law enforcement agencies.
The program supports a strong and cohesive network between us and our stakeholders.
These include:

Their specialties are in law enforcement, intelligence and safeguarding.
