Plain-language summary
Written by a model from the explanatory memorandum; not the record, as at 2019-04-04.
The bill would set up a new federal agency to handle sports integrity issues across Australia.
It would merge anti-doping, integrity monitoring, and betting oversight functions currently split across several bodies into one organisation.
The new body would also take on enhanced capabilities such as a whistleblower scheme and better match-fixing detection, once it is operational.
- Establishes Sport Integrity Australia as a single national body.
- Moves functions from the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority, the National Integrity of Sport Unit, and Sport Australia into the new agency.
- Expands the agency’s role to include match-fixing detection, suspicious wagering alerts, and a whistleblower scheme.
The Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority, the National Integrity of Sport Unit, and Sport Australia, as well as organisations and people involved in Australian sport.
