Development

At the heart of being a successful rugby match official lies a commitment to continuous education and physical fitness. Refereeing demands a proactive approach to personal and professional development, and we are dedicated to supporting match officials who strive for excellence on and off the field.
Match officials are encouraged to take ownership of their growth by:

• Attending monthly education association meetings, where they can engage with peers, share insights, and enhance their knowledge of the game.  Details of up-coming education nights can be found in the events section of the home page.  Content from recent education sessions may be found here
• Leveraging the resources available through Rugby Australia’s Learning Centre, which offers a variety of online courses designed to expand understanding and refine officiating skills.  The Learning Centre may be accessed via the Rugby Xplorer portal
• Participating in weekly fitness training sessions, ensuring they maintain the physical readiness necessary to keep pace with the dynamic nature of the game.  Details of up-coming fitness training can be found here
