Sport Integrity Australia – Annual Update Credential

What is the Annual Update Credential?

The Sport Integrity Australia (SIA) Annual Update Credential confirms that an individual has completed the Annual Update course and provided evidence of completion through JustFence.

This credential must be renewed each year and is required for individuals involved in Australian Fencing Federation (AFF) national programs and events, including:

  • Coaches
  • Fencers participating in national events
  • Certain AFF staff and volunteers

The Annual Update course ensures participants remain informed about current integrity requirements, policies, and expectations within Australian sport.

Important Information

This credential must be renewed each year. Completion of a previous year's course does not satisfy future annual update requirements.

To remain compliant with AFF and Sport Integrity Australia requirements, you must complete and submit evidence of the current Annual Update course each year.

Why is this Credential Required?

Sport integrity requirements continue to evolve. The Annual Update course provides participants with the latest information relating to:

  • Integrity obligations in sport
  • Updates to policies and frameworks
  • Athlete and participant responsibilities
  • Safeguarding and welfare requirements
  • Anti-doping and other integrity-related matters
  • Best practice expectations for participants in Australian sport

By completing the course annually, participants demonstrate their ongoing commitment to maintaining a safe, fair, and ethical sporting environment.
