To register to officiate at this event, you must register as an Athletics NZ Official for the 2026/27 season first. If you haven't registered yet, click here.
To become an approved Official, you must have valid Safeguarding and Police Vetting, see processes below:
Safeguarding
To complete the safeguarding course, you will need to follow this link: https://athleticsnz.elearning.worldathletics.org/dashboard and create an E-learning profile. Once you have signed in, on the lefthand side click courses >> scroll down and find safeguarding or alternatively search up safeguarding and enrol yourself in the course.
Once you have completed the course, you can download a copy of your certificate by clicking your profile (initials) in the right-hand corner >> my profile >> achievements.
Please email the safeguarding certificate to membership@athletics.org.nz
Police Vetting
The process is that someone who needs to be vetted, gets in touch with an ID verifier: https://athletics.org.nz/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/CORRECT-Identification-Verifiers-for-Police-Vetting-Dec-2025.pdf and shows them one of the Primary forms of ID and one of the Secondary forms of ID.
The ID verifier then fills in a form on GameDay, noting the applicant’s name and ID details.
I receive the applications and, will then submit them to the police for vetting. I will update the Gameday profile to let you know that the vetting is underway – the profile will show the police vetting under accreditations, but the document will be unverified.
When ANZ get the results back, I will update the person’s GameDay profile to verify the document under accreditations.
Please note that as long as Officials have been submitted to get police vetted, they can still act as an Official at the event as it does take some time for the police to vet.
If you Police Vetted and have valid Safeguarding added as accreditations on your GameDay profile and are still experiencing issues with registering, please email membership@athletics.org.nz
