Prerequisite for Junior Eight Ball Coaching
The majority of states/territories in Australia have now introduced mandatory legislation requiring eight ball coaches to undergo a screening process in order to work with children under 18 year of age. The AEBF is committed to helping coaches to adhere to the requirements, and will make the screening process an essential pre-requisite for an Eight Ball Coach coaching juniors. As such, a focused effort has been made to contact all state/territory eight ball coaches with the aim of helping them to meet relevant screening requirements.
Unfortunately there is not a national screening system. Each state/territory has its own legislation. Please refer to the information below for details. NB. All information was gathered from the respective state/territory working with children check website or equivalent and was correct at time of printing. Please note this information is subject to changes and it is the responsibility of the eight ball coach to ensure that they comply with state legislation.
