New e-learning hub in partnership with Sport Integrity Australia

We are delighted to announce that  Play by the Rules in partnership with Sport Integrity Australia will now host the PBTR online training modules on the Sport Integrity Australia e-learning hub.

Sport Integrity Australia - e learning hub

A key recommendation of the Wood Review proposed a single identifiable education and outreach platform be established to develop and coordinate education, training and outreach courses.

Hosting the Play by the Rules online training modules on the Sport Integrity Australia e-learning hub creates a single destination for all sporting codes and administration staff to access educational materials and training in one convenient location.

Member Protection Information Officer Course

Member Protection Information Officers play an important role in sport. They provide information and guidance on complaints procedures - they are the 'go to' person if you want to discuss problems at your club/association, particularly if you are considering making a formal complaint.

The Member Protection Information Officer course is aimed at people seeking to become recognised MPIO officers in their State. The course contains 7 core modules. The modules are:

  • Introduction
  • The MPIO Role
  • Complaint resolution procedures
  • Member Protection and the Law
  • Child Protection
  • Harassment and Discrimination
  • Ethical and Practical Considerations

    • MPIO Certification

    Please note: there are two parts to qualifying as an MPIO. 

  • MPIO Part 1 - Complete a national MPIO online course via the e learning hub
  • MPIO Part 2 -  attend a local face-to-face workshop run by your sport or State/Territory Department of Sport and Recreation

    Once you have completed Part 2 - you must then log into your e learning hub account and provide an acknowledgement that you have completed both Part 1 and Part 2 Training.

    MPIO Certification

    If you are a new MPIO who has completed MPIO Part 1 and MPIO Part 2 training - your learning is held on your e learning hub account - click the green 'Access the e learning hub now' button above to register and or/access your learning and certificates.

    Please note PBTR has recently changed to a new centralised system to record all MPIO learning and certificates in the e learning hub.

    Once you have completed your Part 1 (national online learning) and provided an acknowledgement that you have completed your Part 2 (local face to face/virtual training) - your MPIO certificate will be unlocked and can be printed directly from the e learning hub (see print certificate tab at the top of your e learning hub screen).

    If you are an existing MPIO - and/or have recently repeated the MPIO training and cannot access your certificate for any reason - please use the contact us form here.
