Sweep Accreditation Renewal

Accreditation Validity

Sweep accreditations remain valid for 3 years or until your First Aid certification expires, whichever occurs first.

Sweeps will receive automatic reminder emails from revSPORT 60, 30, 14 and 7 days before their accreditation expires.

How to Renew Your Accreditation

When you are ready to renew your accreditation, submit your renewal request to your State Sweep Coordinator. Once the coordinator confirms that you have met all renewal requirements, they will forward your documentation to AusDBF to update your accreditation in revSPORT.

Renewal Requirements

Before submitting your application, ensure you have completed all required eLearning courses.

Provide the following documents to your State Sweep Coordinator:

• Moodle eLearning course completion screenshot

• Sports Integrity Australia course certificates

• Current First Aid (including CPR) certificate

• Screenshot of your current Working With Children Check

• A signed letter from your Club President confirming:

  • You have completed at least 20 hours of sweeping each year over the past three years.

  • Any significant incidents during regattas or club training were reported through Safe365 and appropriate action was taken.

Important Notes

• Renewal applications will not be processed until all required documents have been received by the State Sweep Coordinator.

• PDF documents are preferred. Images will only be accepted if all information is clearly visible in a single image.

• Active Level 5 Ambassador Sweeps may provide evidence of Level 5 activity instead of annual sweep hours.

• Sweepers who have moved to Australia from overseas and join an Australian club will be assessed as an inactive Level 3 Sweep, provided they can supply evidence of previous experience from their former club or national association.

Inactive Sweep Re-accreditation

Level 1 Trainee Sweep

Level 1 Trainee Sweeps who have been inactive for more than 2 years must recommence the Level 1 accreditation process.

Level 2 Provisional Sweep

Level 2 Provisional Sweeps who have been inactive for more than 2 years will return to Level 1. They may immediately apply for an on-water assessment for re-accreditation.

Level 3 Accredited Sweep and Level 4 Mentor Sweep

Level 3 Accredited Sweeps and Level 4 Mentor Sweeps who have been inactive for more than 2 years will return to Level 1. They may immediately apply for an on-water assessment.

If assessed as competent, they will be re-accredited as a Level 3 Accredited Sweep. Former Level 4 Mentor Sweeps must complete the current Level 4 accreditation process if they wish to regain Mentor status.

Level 5 Ambassador Sweep

Level 5 Ambassador Sweeps who are no longer actively sweeping may retain their accreditation. If they wish to return to active sweeping duties, they should contact their State Sweep Coordinator to discuss the requirements for reactivation.
