Sport Integrity Australia
Sport Integrity Australia is the Australian Government’s response to the findings of the Review of Australia’s Sports Integrity Arrangements (Wood Review). The Review looked at what we do now, where our weaknesses are and what we need to change to protect the 14 million Australians who take part in sport annually. Sport Integrity Australia is working with sports, the sports-wagering industry, and state and territory regulators to provide clearer, more transparent, and consistent sports wagering regulation to, ultimately, protect Australian sport from sports wagering related threats. We combat illegal activities such as match-fixing by using coordinated response. We work with governments, sports, regulators, wagering service providers and law enforcement agencies. By developing national policies, resources and education we are safeguarding sport in Australia. As Australia’s national anti-doping organisation we are responsible for implementing an effective program consistent with international requirements and Australian legislation.
