Working With Children Check

• States and Territories have legislative requirements to ensure the protection of children from sexual or physical harm by ensuring that people who work with them are subject to a screening process. As a coach you are required to have completed this process and will have been issued with a form of certificate, card or police check, a copy of which you will need to upload. Note that this only applies to coaches 18+ years of age. 

First Aid Certificate

• Taekwondo is a contact sport and therefore it is very important that as a coach you are able to administer first aid to your athletes and club members should the occasion arise. You will be required to upload a copy of your current First Aid Certificate.

Current Club Coaching Experience

• You must provide acknowledgment that you have completed 50 hours of coaching experience in the last 12 months, that you have completed 10 hours of competition coaching and confirm that you are currently coaching at an AT registered club.
