NRL players diagnosed with a category one concussion will now face a mandatory 11-day stand-down period.
The Australian Rugby League Commission approved the new rules on Tuesday night following a review of data and expert advice.
Clubs will have the opportunity to apply for exemptions to the mandatory 11 day stand down period provided the player passes a review from an independent neurological expert appointed by the NRL.
The new rules come into effect beginning with the round-three opener between Manly and Parramatta on Thursday night.
