The National Sports Tribunal is a body established by the National Sports Tribunal Act 2019 to hear and resolve sports-related disputes in Australia. It provides national sporting organisations (and other sporting bodies), athletes and athlete support personnel with "a cost-effective, efficient, and independent forum for resolving sports-related disputes, consistent, transparent and accountable services and a range of resolution methods: arbitration, mediation, conciliation or case appraisal". [1]

The Tribunal was a recommendation of the Report of the Review of Australia's Sports Integrity Arrangements (the Wood review). [2] Previously appeals from the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) had been heard by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal. As part of the same package of reforms ASADA was replaced by a new body, Sport Integrity Australia. [3] [4]

John Boultbee was appointed the inaugural Chief Executive Officer on 2 March 2020. [5] The Tribunal began operations on 19 March 2020. The National Sports Tribunal was initially established as a two-year trial to develop capability against demand, and refine operations and services.[ citation needed ]
