This form provides a clear and detailed process following a concussion incident of an individual. It has three (3) sections which provide a healthcare practitioner details of the concussion incident (including mechanism and symptoms), a section for the healthcare practitioner to sign following the initial consultation and examination, and a section for clearance for return to sport following recovery. This follows the community and youth guidance on return to sport timeframes.

This form is for notifying teachers (or relevant school support staff) of a student's concussion following an evaluation by a suitably qualified and experienced healthcare practitioner.

Athletes 18 years and under can utilise this guide but MUST follow the GRTSF for community and youth, specifically the 14 days symptom free (at rest) and 21 days minimum before returning to competitive contact.
