What is the first responder's role, and how old do I have to be?

The role of the first responder during a match is to administer first aid and/or offer advice to an injured or ill player. All injuries and illnesses the first responder assesses must be recorded in accordance with the NRL injury reporting guidelines. First responders must be at least 18 years of age and hold a current, relevant NRL accreditation (NRL On-Field Policy, version 4.0).
