The First Aid / Medical Officer must be clearly identifiable at all games by wearing the approved white vest with a green cross, not covered by a jacket or coat. You must be named on the team sheet.
Each team must supply its own qualified officer. If a team fails to provide one, the opposing team's suitably qualified First Aid / Medical Officer may assume control of injured players for both teams. You are also expected to liaise and coordinate with the opposition's officer so timely and suitable first aid is delivered to all players, regardless of team.
Your team's first aid kit must be adequately stocked and well maintained before any match starts, and you should know where the stretcher and the emergency vehicle access points are.
