I already hold a Referee accreditation, however it has expired/is due to expire?

The National Match Officials Accreditation Policy (NMOAP) states a referee, match official and Referee Coach accreditation expires as of the 30th of June each calendar year. Find out more information regarded reaccreditation here.

Do I need to register to my local referee's association? If so, how?

All Association referees must be registered with their local association under the Referee member type, which is selectable at the beginning of the club registration form. Registrations are completed online through playrugbyleague.com. The Club Finder will direct you to your local association's registration form.

If you experience any issues whilst trying to complete your registration, the NRL have provided support resources and guides available.

2. Login with NRL account details

I completed my course however my accreditation has not updated?

MySideline profiles are automatically updated with accreditation details within an hour of the course being marked as successfully completed. If this has not occurred, return to your profile within the NRL Learning Centre and check the status of your course. If any modules are still showing as Incomplete, these will need to be finalised before your accreditation will display.
