SELECTION CRITERIA FOR ATHLETE SUPPORT PERSONNEL
In deciding whether a person is suitable for appointment as an athlete support person with the AWF,
the Federation must take the following into consideration:
1. Whether the person has been convicted of a criminal offence in the last 10 years. Serious
criminal offences, such as those involving trafficking of drugs, acts occasioning physical bodily
harm, offences against children, and offences involving periods of incarceration, must
automatically disqualify an applicant.
2. Whether any other issues are identified in a police national name check which cast doubt on
the suitability of the person for appointment to the AWF. The applicant must consent to the
AWF conducting the police national name check.
3. Whether the person has had an anti-doping rule violation within the past eight years. Serious
violations, including those where the sanction applied was at least two years, must
automatically disqualify an applicant.
4. Whether the applicant is currently under investigation by ASADA for an anti-doping rule
violation. The fact that an applicant is under investigation shall not automatically disqualify the
applicant.
