The Officiating Advisory Group is a national panel of accredited referees representing each state and territory in Australia.
This group serves as a key communication channel between local officials, state associations, and Pickleball Australia. It ensures that the voice of referees is heard in the planning, development, and continuous improvement of officiating pathways and policies.
The group’s responsibilities include:
Providing feedback on referee training, accreditation, and support systems
Representing the views and concerns of their local referee community
Contributing to the development of clear and consistent officiating standards nationally
Helping promote a positive and collaborative officiating culture
The group meets regularly and plays a critical role in strengthening the support, professionalism, and visibility of officials across the country.
