Renew your sweep accreditation

Complete your learning, gather your documents and send one complete renewal email to your State Sweep Coordinator.

Renew before your accreditation expires

Your accreditation is valid for 3 years or until your First Aid certificate expires — whichever comes first.

Three steps to renew

1

Prepare

Complete the required eLearning and gather the documents listed below.

2

Send one email

Email the completed request form and all supporting documents to your State Sweep Coordinator.

3

Review and update

Your coordinator checks the requirements, then forwards your documents to AusDBF to update your accreditation in revSPORT.

Your document checklist

Have your club president complete the request form. Include the form and all four supporting items in your renewal email.

Level 2
Provisional Sweep
Return to Level 1. You may immediately apply for an on-water assessment for re-accreditation.
Level 3
Accredited Sweep
Return to Level 1. You may immediately apply for an on-water assessment. If assessed as competent, you will be re-accredited as a Level 3 Accredited Sweep.
Level 4

Level 5 Ambassador Sweeps

Level 5 Ambassador Sweeps who are no longer actively sweeping may retain their accreditation. Contact your State Sweep Coordinator before returning to active sweeping to discuss reactivation requirements.

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

Moving to Australia from overseas

Sweeps who move to Australia and join an Australian club will be assessed as an inactive Level 3 Sweep, provided they supply evidence of previous sweeping experience from their former club or national association.

revSPORT sends automatic reminder emails 60, 30, 14 and 7 days before your accreditation expires.
