- A coach must hold a WAG accreditation for Levels above 1-2 (a MAG accreditation or GfA Intermediate can cover Levels 1-2).
- Beginner and Fundamental coaches cannot coach at Gymnastics Australia events. A Teacher Technical Member cannot coach at a Gymnastics Australia competition.
- State/Territory events have their own extra requirements set by each State/Territory Association. A Beginner coach can only coach on a State/Territory competition floor under supervision.
On the floor at national events: the number of coaches on the floor cannot exceed the number of competing athletes from each State or club (a single athlete may have 2 coaches). Coaches must be actively coaching to stay on the floor, must not film or photograph athletes during competition or warm-up, and must not sit or lean on the podium or use a mobile phone.
