This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to develop and update legal knowledge to ensure compliance with legislation across sport, fitness and recreation organisations. This unit requires the ability to research, understand and use legal information relevant to organisational governance. This is combined with a general knowledge of the legal framework in which organisations in different sport, fitness and recreation contexts operate.

This unit applies to committee and board members, and senior personnel responsible for ensuring overall compliance of an organisation with legislative and regulatory requirements in the sport, fitness and recreation industries.

The unit does not cover the specialist skills and knowledge required by legal experts or managers whose primary role relates to compliance.

No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
