Rowing Australia Team Handbook
The Rowing Australia Handbook provides athletes, coaches and supporters with policy, guidelines and general information that is relevant to members of the Australian Rowing Team. It should be your first stop for any question relating to team management and policies.
The information contained in the handbook remains reasonably consistent from year to year. RA will issue a new handbook to team members at the start of each Olympiad and to new members who join the team from year to year during that Olympiad. Major updates in policy or position during that time will be provided on this page of the website with notification via email and SMS. If you cannot find the information that you are searching for in the handbook or on this page, please contact your team manager, coach, or relevant staff at Rowing Australia.

Change to Return Flights
Changes to return flights are possible at the completion of the World Championships. The Changes to return Flights form needs to be completed with requested departure dates and ports and returned to the NRCE office. Do not call the airline direct – they will not authorise a personal change.
Changes can still be made after the 21 days cut off date with a $250 change fee. NO changes can be made in the last 7 days.
Personal travel insurance needs to be arranged from the completion of the World Championship event if not traveling back to Australia with the team.
Team members who stay on after the Championships are required to receive written permission to do so by the relevant Head Coach

The completed Personal Items Inventory form needs to be returned to the NRCE latest 1 month prior to each team's departure to ensure insurance is activated.
