Working with Vulnerable People (WWVP)
When completing your registration on Rugby Explorer, you will note a field for entering the details of your Working With Vulnerable People card (sometimes known as a ‘Blue Card’). Despite different policies between the NSW and ACT Governments for officiating in children’s sport, it is both ACTRRA and Rugby Australia policy that ALL referees and referee coaches (16 years of age or older, junior and senior panels) must hold a valid WWVP card. Please note that you will not be appointed without evidence of a valid WWVP card.
Providing Bank Details for Match Payments
Unlike previous seasons, Rugby Xplorer has not been configured by Rugby Australia to be able to collect bank details in order to process match payments. In order to allow you to update your current bank account details to receive your match payments and any applicable travel allowance a webform has been created on the ACTRRA website.
The webform is located at http://www.actrra.org.au/referee-match-payment---payment-details.html and allows you to elect one of the following three ways in which your match payments and travel allowance can be processed:
This form will provide Brumbies with your banking details to allow them to process your match payments in accordance with your instructions. While reminders will be provided prior to the respective payments being made by Brumbies, if you fail to complete this form then all referee payments earned by you will be treated as a donation to the ACTRRA General Account to prevent the Executive and Brumbies having to continually chase up members who fail to complete this form.
Thank you for your patience as the Executive has also spent considerable time setting up our registration process within the current limitations of the Rugby Xplorer system.
If you have any issues or questions, please get in touch with the ACTRRA Secretary, Vice President or President at actrugbyreferees@gmail.com and we will endeavour to get back to you in a systematic and timely manner.
Good luck for the 2021 season!
