Officials

Australian Sailing Officials play an important role in delivering safe, fair and well-run sailing events across Australia. Explore the different officiating pathways and find information on accreditation, re-accreditation, courses and resources to support you in your role.

Benefits of Accreditation

• Meet new people - officiating provides an opportunity for people to participate in sport without being a competitor – in turn helping build your club community.
• Increasing your Officials racing knowledge and skill through training which empowers volunteers and assists with volunteer satisfaction and retention.
• Establishing an effective working relationship between key volunteers and the club (Contributes towards accountability and reporting).
• Provides a coordinated program for recognising and training officials and club volunteers (Continuous education).
• Allows clubs to comply with external racing requirements (Compliance).
• Providing safe and fair sailing for participants and volunteers (This helps tackle issues with race consistency, ethics and risk management).
• Accreditation supports advocacy (Model behavior) and leadership within your Club or Class Association and volunteer group.
