ANTI-DOPING and IMPROPER USE OF DRUGS & MEDICINE.

Surfing Australia is committed to making Surfing a safe and fair sport. Anti-doping and improper use of drugs and medicine rules apply to all participants of our sport from the elite down to grassroots. All competitors must be aware of their rights and responsibilities during the testing process and under the Australian Anti-Doping Policy because you could be tested anywhere, anytime.   

Surfing Australia encourages all athletes to complete online anti-doping education before competing. The two recommended courses are:  

1. Anti-Doping Fundamentals 

2. Annual Update 2025 

Access these courses via elearning.sportintegrity.gov.au, log in or register a Sport Integrity Australia course account, then navigate to the courses via ‘Find Courses’ tab.  

If you have trouble logging in, registering, or finding the courses, contact: education@sportintegrity.gov.au.
