Although the NSWPF continues to encourage compliance with mandatory participation requirements, the challenges being faced due to the recent impacts of severe weather events and the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic are acknowledged. If a club member has not complied with the participation requirements because it has not been feasible or practical to do so, the NSWPF will not revoke licences on failure to comply with mandatory participation requirements until after the 15 April 2023.
As of 15 April 2023, the NSWPF will return to considering compliance with participation requirements. This means that licence holders need to meet their participation requirements over the next 12 months but do not need to complete their participation requirements for previous years.
