Updating Accreditation

Additional information about updating accreditation is also available on the Netball Australia website

Coaching accreditation is current for four (4) years from the date achieved. If you complete the next level of accreditation during this 4 year period, your timeline restarts and your new accreditation is valid for the next 4 years.

Why Update? 

Updating provides an opportunity for coaches to:

• Keep up with the latest information on developments within netball
• Receive the latest general and specific safety information for netball
• Have the most up to date techniques and coaching methods in Australia

How many points do I need to update my accreditation? 

Netball Australia requires a coach to reach the specified number of points of updating activity for each accreditation level as listed below:

What do I need to do? 

During the four year period, coaches need to record their practical coaching hours and any continuing education events they attend.  Coaches should check their My Accreditation Updating page in MyNetball Learning to check the continuing education activities they can use for updating accreditation.  Attending updating activities or completing relevant online coaching courses earns points towards completing the updating requirements associated with her/his current level of accreditation.

Updating activities include:

• Practical coaching hours
• Attendance at MO approved coaching workshops/courses
• NA online coaching units such as Selecting, Expecting Respect, Getting to Know NetsetGO.

When can I update?

Netball Australia may send a reminder email six months prior to your accreditation expiry date.

You can update your accreditation in the 6 months prior to expiry date and up to 12 months after the expiry date through the online Updating process.  Please note, if your accreditation is more than 12 months out of date, you will need to contact Netball Queensland to apply for consideration to update.  You will need to submit your coaching logbook and may be asked to attend another Accreditation course/workshop.  Please send an email to karen.topp@netballq.org.au for further information.
