The information below supersedes all previous documents, information and resources. The following ensures that Football Australia is in full compliance with the Asian Football Confederation Coaching Convention.

From January 1st, 2024 Football Australia has shifted from 100 CPD points to 15 hours CPD.

The revalidation process is a crucial aspect of maintaining high standards of coaching in Australia. Revalidation is a requirement for all coaches in Australia and is conducted by Football Australia or its Member Federations. Coaches are required to participate in continued professional development (CPD) activities and obtain fifteen (15) revalidation hours to maintain their accreditation. The revalidation process occurs every three (3) years and includes a range of opportunities to obtain the required number of revalidation hours, including but not limited to, attending in person workshops, completing online courses or workshops, and coaching teams.

Events previously awarded CPD points will be converted by Football Australia into hours. Please contact us to find out the conversion of events you have attended.
