TUEs are required by athletes that need to use a prohibited substance for a legitimate medical reason. A standard TUE is required for the use of any prohibited medication. An athlete should ensure their sport recognises the therapeutic use of a prohibited substance. Further information regarding TUEs can be obtained from the ASADA website or via the ASADA Hotline 13 000 ASADA (13 000 27232) between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM AEST 7 days a week. A standard TUE form is available from the Australian Sports Medical Advisory Committee (ASDMAC) website. Once completed this form should be returned to ASDMAC.
