New Zealand is working closely with the World Anti-Doping Agency (a global partnership between governments and the sports movement) to protect the international anti-doping system from corruption. In 2021, New Zealand will take over the Oceania seat on the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Executive Committee from Australia for one year. New Zealand also remains on the WADA Foundation Board (WADA’s supreme decision-making body).

New Zealand also promotes its policy on Sports Match-Fixing and Related Corruption, and encourages the adoption of good governance standards by sports bodies. In 2019, Sport NZ completed a Sport Integrity Review to ensure both government and the sector are responding appropriately. Sport NZ is currently implementing the Review’s 22 recommendations.

New Zealand will monitor the International Sports Integrity Partnership and may consider joining it in the future.
