Australian Athletics takes a position of zero tolerance toward doping in sport, and works closely with Sport Integrity Australia and the World Anti-Doping Authority (WADA) to ensure a fair and safe environment in athletics, and all sports.
We strongly encourage athletes to ensure that they are acutely aware of the most recent banned lists both here in Australia and around the world.
The Sport Integrity Australia app is a free one-stop shop for all sport integrity needs, designed with athletes in mind. The app allows users to check whether their medications are banned in sport, find low risk supplements and check whether they need a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE).
To ensure that you are 'in the know' we recommend following the link to the Sport Integrity Australia website. Take a look around and familiarise yourself with the website, and be sure to maintain ample knowledge about your responsibility in ensuring a drug-free competition environment.
For further information or clarification on anti-doping issues, medications or supplements, the prohibited list and Pure Performance education, all enquiries should be made to Sport Integrity Australia.
For the most up-to-date information on the prohibited substances list, view the World Anti-Doping Agency Website below.

The below are athletes needing to apply for an In-Advance TUE:
Athletes in the Sport Integrity Australia (SIA) or Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU):
Registered Testing Pool (RTP)
SIA National Testing Pool (NTP)
SIA Domestic Testing Pool (DTP)
Athletes selected in Australian Olympic, Paralympic or Commonwealth Games teams- not including Youth Competitions.
Those athletes that don’t meet this criteria, you should prepare a medical file in case you nee to apply for a planned Retroactive TUE if ever tested.
If any athlete or medical practitioner has a query in regard to the correct documentation or status of a particular medication email Australian Athletics Chief Medical Officer, Dr Paul Blackman at Pblackman3@bigpond.com.
All completed TUE forms must be submitted to the relevant contact as noted on each application form.
Australian Athletics and Sport Integrity Australia have a co-designed education strategy in place. The main purpose of anti-doping education is to provide athletes, coaches and support personnel with an understanding of the accurate and current anti-doping requirements of the sport.
This is mandatory for our target groups, including high performance athletes and coaches from junior to senior level as well as team management, support personnel and administration.
All members of Australia’s sporting community can now access a range of anti-doping education programs and contribute to protecting our national sporting integrity through Sport Integrity Australia eLearning by visiting the button below.
Full details of the testing process are available through Sport Integrity Australia's revised Athlete Testing Guide, located on the Sport Integrity Australia website. Further information can also be found on Sport Integrity Australia's:
