How to register with Fitness Australia

The fitness industry offers a wide variety of rewarding career paths. If you wish to interact with a broad cross section of the community, provide a valuable service, plus promote healthy and active living, the fitness industry is for you.

The following steps outline the process for registration:

Step 1

Initially you must complete an accredited course. Across Australia the minimum requirement is a Certificate III in Fitness, with an option to complete a more advanced Certificate IV in Fitness. Completing a Certificate IV course will allow you to register at a higher level and work with more specialized groups in the community.

During your course you will cover a prescribed set of study units with assessments occurring throughout. At the completion of the course you will receive a Certificate III or Certificate IV Statement of Attainment.

Step 2

In addition to completing the required Fitness qualification, you will need to complete a Level 2 First Aid Course. The first aid course that you participate in must meet the relevant Workcover requirements in your state. The first aid qualification will have to be kept current throughout your career and is usually due for renewal every 2 or 3 years. Your CPR component of the First Aid Certificate needs to be upgraded every 12 months.

Step 3

Once you have successfully completed the required qualifications, you are then eligible to register with Fitness Australia. Please send in all relevant Statement of Attainments with your registration application form. Fitness Australia registration is recognized nationally and is valid for 2 years.

Step 4

Registration is due for renewal every two years. During each two year registration period the registered professional must attain 18 Continuing Education Credit (CECs) through evidence of employment and completion of continuing education courses. Please refer to the Re-registration brochure for more details on CEC points.
