Officials - Become an official

What is the benefit of being an accredited official?
Coaches and officials who are accredited through the National Officiating Accreditation Scheme (NOAS) are recognised by National and State Sporting Organisations and the Australian Sports Commission (ASC). An increasing number of clubs and organisations require officials to be NOAS accredited for employment. As standards for safety and ethical behaviour within officiating improve, it is even more important that coaches and officials are trained and accredited.

Where do I go?

  • Contact your state sporting organisation and ask about them what opportunities are currently available
  • Go to your local club or school and offer your services

How do I become accredited?
If you want to become an accredited official you need to take a National Officiating Accreditation Scheme (NOAS) course. These courses offer training for officials from beginner through to advanced level. Contact your State Sporting Association for the latest information on officiating courses and training programs available through your sport.
