Question

Accepted Answer

Registration: all trainers, including LeagueSafes, must register with their local club under the Trainer member type, online at playrugbyleague.com. Working With Children Check: in NSW, all volunteers need a valid NSW Working With Children Check before registering, including relatives of participants. Patrons of the Game: if you work with anyone under 18, complete the NRL Patrons of the Game Module. Level 1 Sports Trainer: you must be at least 18. Reaccreditation provides 3 years of currency, and you renew by completing an update of your Provide First Aid certification. Your Level 1 must have expired no more than 12 months ago. League First Aid: you must be at least 18. The course is 2 online modules plus 8 hours of face-to-face training. Prior learning: if you already hold a current first aid and CPR certification you may apply for Recognition of Prior Learning to substitute some modules. Apply and be approved before enrolling in a full course. Checking your accreditation: log in to your MySideline profile, open the menu and select Accreditations.
