Illicit Drugs in Sport (IDiS)
CAMS, in partnership with the Australian Federal Government, is embarking on a campaign of influencing attitudes by educating motor sport participants and the general community about the dangers of illicit drugs to their health, their potential for damage to life time social responsibilities, and in particular to the health and safety implications of undertaking motor sport while affected by drugs.
The CAMS Illicit Drugs in Sport (IDiS) Program is funded as part of the Australian Federal Government's "Illicit Drugs in Sport - National Education and Action Plan", and is backed by comprehensive education material developed by the Australian Sports Commission specifically for use by competitors, team managers, support crew and officials.
Education material, which will be distributed by CAMS, focuses on educating the sport utilising both written and interactive means, with a Government web-based 'e-learning' system currently under development, and due to come online soon.
Further material, including Illicit drug fact sheets are available for download in the "Links and Resources" section below. These, along with other printed material by the Sport and Club Development Officers in each state to each CAMS-affiliated car club.
