Integrity Literature Review

The literature review on Integrity in Sport‘ for the ASC is to inform the development of a National Integrity in Sport Strategy (NISS). The development of the NISS will address the commitments, objectives and priority initiatives articulated in the following key government and sport industry documents. The Australian Government's new vision for sport, articulated in Australian Sport: The Pathway to Success commits the Australian Government to:

  • ensure sporting opportunities are safe, fun and inclusive for all; and
  • provide athletes with an even playing field by targeting drugs in sport.

The National Sport and Active Recreation Policy Framework articulates under the priority area of system sustainability, the objective of safeguarding the integrity in sport and active reaction. The ASC's Integrity Section will drive the development of the NISS. The literature review is designed to inform the development of Issues Papers and the NISS.

The review was conducted by The University of Adelaide within the Fay Gale Centre for Research on Gender by Faculty academic researchers Dr Mandy Treagus, Dr Rob Cover and Associate Professor Chris Beasley. A team of research assistants led by Ms Carolyn Lake provided invaluable assistance in the compilation of materials.
