Illustration for Integrity Sport and Recreation Act 2023

The purpose of this Act is to set up a group called the Commission. You can think of the Commission like a team that works to make sport and physical recreation better. The Commission has two main jobs: to make sure sport is fair and safe for everyone, and to stop people from cheating by using performance-enhancing drugs.

The Commission wants to protect people who play sports and make sure they are safe. It also wants to make sure competitions are fair. When it comes to stopping cheating, the Commission follows a set of rules called the World Anti-Doping Code. This Code is like a guide that helps keep sports fair worldwide.

The World Anti-Doping Code has two main goals. First, it wants to make sure athletes can play sports without being pressured to use performance-enhancing drugs. This helps keep athletes healthy and makes sure everyone has an equal chance to win. Second, the Code wants to make sure countries work together to stop cheating in sports. This includes finding ways to detect, prevent, and punish people who use performance-enhancing drugs.
