Athletics is dedicated to providing a pathway for Officials from the grassroots to the international level. The highest level available within the Australian system is the Level 3 qualification. However, Officials must be aware that as this is the highest level of grading nationally, the requirements are onerous and stringent. Officials need to demonstrate they are competent in the practical component of the discipline and have the knowledge to sit the Level 3 exam before progressing.
