What happens if a player is suspected of concussion?

The Policy & Guidelines for the Management of Sport Related Concussion for National Programs and SSN apply to all SSN matches.

If a player may have a concussion or serious injury and cannot or will not call a time out, or it may not be seen or heard by the umpire, the team bench (through a primary carer) or the Match Day Doctor can alert the reserve umpire and call an injury time. The World Netball Rules of Netball apply and the player must be substituted.

If the player is cleared after assessment under the concussion policy, they can return to the court through a rolling substitution, another time out, new injury time or an interval.
