Hockey Australia Umpire Qualifications

It appears that

All Community Umpires will need to be reaccredited
Current Level 1 Umpires have automatically been accredited as HA Foundation Lead Umpires for an undetermined time.
Check whether your accreditation (Level 1 & above) has been transferred to the new HA Umpire (Foundation Lead) accreditation by logging into your NWSHA account (top RH corner).
NWSHA would appreciate if you will complete the NWSHA survey so we can assess the status of umpires in our association.
If you're interested in updating your accreditation or ready to be a Foundation Lead Umpire go to NWSHA Umpire Training & Accreditation
