Officials and volunteer helpers are vital to the effective functioning of weekly Centre competition. To ensure that individuals feel adequately prepared when taking on a role at Centre level, or if they wish to progress to Region and/or State competitions, several development pathways exist.

State-based education, in the form of workshops and courses, provided by LAVic provides participants a foundational understanding of officiating and its application at Centre competition. Completion of an LAVic state-based education program is strongly recommended to commence your journey as an official or helper.
