The new scheme will be tested this weekend in the A-League and W-League.
The yellow card offences are ones you'd perhaps expect: they'll be dished out for coaches and staff who persistently leave their technical area, show dissent or sarcastically clap the work of match officials.
Red cards will be handed out if a manager or one of his staff are caught using abusive language, confronting the opposition, spitting, or - perhaps the best one - angrily throwing water bottles.
The trials have been sanctioned by the International Football Association Board (IFAB).
The head of the A-League and W-League, Greg O'Rourke, is hoping respect levels across football pitches nationwide will improve as a result of the new disciplinary proceedings.
"It will help fans and viewers better understand the issues that match officials face on a weekly basis, and help promote respect toward them," O'Rourke said.
"Importantly, it will send a strong message throughout the game at grassroots level that poor behaviour towards match officials and opposition team officials is unacceptable and carries consequences."
