From the Coach Accreditation Policy V1.14 (March 2024):
- An accreditation is only active while you are a current GA Technical Member. It is not recognised if Technical Membership lapses or is suspended.
- Renew Technical Membership every year online through the member portal (GOL). You need the required updating points under the Updating Policy to renew.
- Renewal emails come two months and one month before the renewal date, and a further email one week after the date says membership is no longer valid.
- Your renewal date stays the same if you pay within one month before or two months after it. If you pay later than that, the date becomes the payment date.
- The fee is one combined amount covering Gymnastics Australia and your State/Territory Association.
- Insurance cover applies only to current Technical Members, for activities at affiliated clubs or GA/State sanctioned events.
- A new Fundamental Gymnastics coach gets 12 months free Technical Membership from the date they complete the accreditation, unless they were previously a Technical Member (Coach or Judge).
