- identifying new trends in doping and delivering appropriate preventative actions
- ensuring allegations of doping are fully and rigorously investigated through a whole-of-government investigative framework, and
- complementing the Deterrence Program in relation to athletes and support personnel contemplating doping and detecting those athletes who have engaged in banned doping practices.
