Motorsport Australia Current Sanction Register

Motorsport Australia is committed to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all those involved in our motorsport activities and events, and in making certain that all licence holders adhere to and comply with National Competition Rules, the Motorsport Australia National Integrity Framework, all other relevant rules and regulations.

In keeping with accepted practice by most sporting authorities in the world the Motorsport Australia Board has determined that decisions with respect to licence suspensions or disqualifications should be published. This is both a matter of good governance and transparency. Most importantly, it ensures that the various stakeholders in the sport, particularly event organisers, are aware of licence suspensions and disqualifications.

Motorsport Australia therefore maintains a public Current Sanction Register to promote transparency and accountability within the motorsport community and in line with our organisational objectives.

The Register records sanctions made against an individual and/or organisations who have previously received or are currently under a sanction issued by Motorsport Australia, Sport Integrity Australia (SIA), the National Sports Tribunal, and/or the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA).

These sanctions may prohibit an individual or organisation/s from solely holding a Motorsport Australia licence or may extend to including prohibitions on attendance at Motorsport Australia permitted event and/or licence venues for the duration of the sanction.

Motorsport Australia notes that for any anti-doping sanctions, an individual or organisation may be prohibited from accessing a Motorsport Australia affiliated club, affiliated athletes, training venues, and from participation in any Motorsport Australia sanctioned activity for the duration of the sanction, in line with the Australian National Anti-Doping Policy.
