The purpose of this Act is to keep the Tribunal as an independent body. You can think of the Tribunal like a group that makes sure sports in New Zealand are fair and honest. The Tribunal has two main jobs: it implements the World Anti-Doping Code in New Zealand, and it hears and decides on other sports-related matters that involve integrity.
The World Anti-Doping Code is a set of rules that helps keep sports fair by stopping athletes from using banned substances. The Tribunal's job is to make sure these rules are followed in New Zealand.
The Tribunal also hears and decides on other matters related to sports and integrity, which means making sure everyone involved in sports is honest and fair.
