FAQs

The course fee is too expensive. Is it possible to pay later?

The course fee is set and paid to FNSW. The MWFRA fee includes uniform, FFA/FNSW registration fees, a LotG book,  and course materials. We do not aim to profit from the courses and feel they are competitively priced. As such, we are unable to offer discounts or options to pay later.

How much will I get paid?

As a guide, the match fees from 2021 are here. Please note that they are subject to change each year.

I am unable to attend one of the above courses. Can I attend a team referee course?

Our team referee courses are specifically tailored for team referees. If you cannot attend on one of the above dates please contact Sigrid Mulherin at [email protected] to discuss.

What is your cancellation policy?
