Sport Integrity Framework
What is Sport Integrity?
Archery should be a safe, inclusive and fair place for all participants to thrive. Archery Australia strives to protect the enjoyment of archery by participants, officials, athletes, coaches and supporters, and treats integrity threats seriously.
Threats to archery integrity can include doping, improper use of drugs and medicine, competition manipulation and bullying, discrimination or abuse.

What is the National Integrity Framework?
The National Integrity Framework (NIF) is a suite of policies that sets out how we should and shouldn’t behave, and how matters are handled when a policy might have been breached. The table below outlines the policies and their scope. You can access the policies below and find more detail in the pages following.

Abuse, bullying, harassment, sexual misconduct, discrimination, victimisation, and vilification.
