3  Simplified outline of this Act

      This Act requires the making of a scheme called the National Anti‑Doping Scheme (known as the NAD scheme). The NAD scheme implements the General Anti‑Doping Convention and the UNESCO Anti‑Doping Convention. Certain matters must be in the NAD scheme (see Division 2 of Part 2).
      This Act establishes a body called the Australian Sports Anti‑Doping Authority (known as the ASADA). The ASADA assists the CEO of ASADA. The CEO has functions relating to the NAD scheme and other sports doping and safety matters. The CEO also maintains the Violations List, which contains information about certain persons who have been sanctioned in relation to an anti‑doping rule violation.
      This Act also creates an Advisory Group, the Anti‑Doping Rule Violation Panel (known as the ADRVP) and the Australian Sports Drug Medical Advisory Committee (known as the ASDMAC).
      The Advisory Group provides advice and recommendations to the CEO.
      The ADRVP has various functions, including those conferred on the ADRVP by the NAD scheme (see section 41). The NAD scheme must authorise the ADRVP to make assertions relating to investigations of possible violations of the anti‑doping rules, and require the ADRVP to notify the CEO of such assertions.
      The ASDMAC has various functions, including those conferred on the ASDMAC by the NAD scheme (see section 52). The ASDMAC also gives advice and information to the CEO about sports doping and safety matters, and gives information to sporting administration bodies about individual cases that involve sports doping and safety matters.
      This Act contains provisions about disclosing information obtained under or for the purposes of this Act or a legislative instrument made under this Act (see Part 8).
