Accreditation
It is recommended that all officials become accredited though the National Officiating Accreditation Scheme (NOAS). The NOAS is an initiative of the Australian Sports Commission (ASC). The NOAS is a progressive education program for officials offering courses at various levels, with over 40 sports participating. Contact your national sporting organisation for information on how to become an accredited official.
NOAS officials have met a minimum standard of competence and are recognised by national and state sporting organisations and the ASC. NOAS officials also receive a range of benefits, including discounts on various workshops and publications.
