Have you considered a club MPIO?  The new MPIO Training is here to help 

Join the movement of people helping make sport more inclusive, safe and fair.

As an MPIO, your role is critical to ensuring participants in sport feel heard, know their rights, and know where they can go to make a complaint.

Following the establishment of Sport Integrity Australia and an extensive review of the Member Protection Information Officer (MPIO) program, MPIO training has been updated to meet the current needs of our sporting community.

The resources that are now available allow the reader to understand what concussion is and how to assess it. The resources provide advice on how to manage it and, importantly for everyone, guidance on what to do if concussion is suspected.
