Other useful resources:
- The Illicit Drugs in Sport (IDiS) e-learning program is a free online resource from the Commonwealth Government that provides resources and strategies to help make appropriate choices when athletes, coaches or administrators are faced with illicit drugs in their sport.
- The Good Sports program has free tools and resources to build a policy around alcohol management, smoking regulations, mental health, illegal drugs, and safe transport to help create a safe, welcoming, family-friendly environment. There are over 10,000 Good Sports clubs using the resources to help create a safe, welcoming, family-friendly environment. Parents know that by joining a Good Sports club, children are free to enjoy sport in a family-friendly environment with a club that role-model’s healthy behaviours.
