Award coverage for sport or recreational activity instructors or coaches depends on factors including:

  • the industry or industries their employer operates in
  • if there’s a classification for the employee based on:
    • their specific role and responsibilities
    • the employee holding required qualifications.

Industry award coverage

Sport or recreational activity instructors or coaches can be covered by an industry award if their employer operates in the industry defined in the award and there is a classification that covers their role and responsibilities.

For example, an instructor or coach may be covered by one of the following industry awards:

  • Alpine Resorts Award
  • Amusement Award
  • Educational Services (Schools) General Staff Award
  • Fitness Award
  • Hospitality Award
  • Professional Diving (Recreational) Award

No industry award coverage

Sport or recreational activity instructors or coaches not covered by an industry award are covered by the Miscellaneous Award. They’ll be classified based on their duties and qualifications.
