It applies if the sport your club belongs to has adopted the Framework. Sport Integrity Australia (SIA) says the Framework applies to all levels of sport, from community clubs to national level, and each policy covers every level of the sport, from community clubs to state and national member organisations.
The policies apply to everyone involved in the sport, regardless of age:
- athletes
- coaches and officials
- administrators and staff
- volunteers
- contractors and support personnel (for example sports science and medical staff, team managers, agents)
- any individual or organisation required to agree to the policy.
The Framework was launched in 2021. SIA says 96 sports have adopted it since then (July 2026). SIA lists the sports signed up at https://www.sportintegrity.gov.au/what-we-do/national-integrity-framework/sports-signed-national-integrity-framework
SIA states its 2026 information applies only to sports that have adopted the 2026 policies, and that sports have until 30 April 2027 to adopt them.
