AM I REQUIRED TO DO A COACHING UPDATES?
EA will reaccredit a qualified Coach subject to annual renewal of their Coach Registration.
In June of each year when annual Coach Registration is due, EA Coaches will renew their accreditation online via their MYEA account.:
- Coach registration renewal form and payment online
- EA Coach/Coach Educator 2 Year Update either online or in person.
- A copy of their current First Aid Certificate
- A copy of their current Working with Children Check (depending on local state requirements)
- A copy of EA Concussion Course Certificate
- A copy of their Sport Integrity Australia/ASC Certificates in Anti-Doping, Safeguarding, Concussion and Essential Skills
- A copy of EA Membership/EA Number
- A copy of a current Certificate of Insurance or pay for included EA Insurance
A condition of maintaining accreditation is that it is compulsory for all Coaches to attend a Compulsory Coach Update Clinic once every two years from 2020 onwards.
At a minimum the Compulsory Coach Update Clinic must cover the following topics:
- Review insurance coverage
- Review risk management procedures
- Any new developments or Policy & Procedures
- Any developments/changes to the Australian Sports Commission
- Any new legislation that may be relevant (such as Working With Children Check)
