Why Volunteer?

Athletics NSW is committed to providing competition and participation opportunities for all its athletes at all levels of the sport. But to continue to do this at the frequency and standard expected - our athletes need your help!
 
With your help we can;

  • Support the efforts of our current highly skilled and dedicated officiating cohort
  • Maintain the existing event offerings available to our athletes
  • Deliver more events in line with the athletics community's expectations

 
To encourage community involvement, Athletics NSW has introduced payment of officials. This program aims to alleviate personal costs such as fuel, parking, and other expenses associated with volunteering. Technical Officials can now receive up to $80 per day as a token of appreciation for their dedication.
 
Athletics NSW invites all members of the community to give back to the sport. The tasks involved is as straightforward as raking sand for long jump to assisting in various event operations. Your involvement, no matter how small, can make a substantial difference in the success of these events.
 
So, what's in it for you?

  • Give Back to the Sport: Your support directly impacts the future of our athletes and the sport of Athletics as a whole.
  • Increase Opportunities for Athletes: Your involvement can provide more opportunities for aspiring athletes to compete and excel in Athletics.
  • Receive Up to $80 per Day: As part of the reimbursement program, Technical Officials are entitled to receive up to $80 per day to cover their time and expenses.
