(Last updated 19th December 2019)

Controllers are our first line of defence in the battle to maintain the technical standards of Australian Orienteering: they provide the quality control on all of our major events.

Accredited Controllers
Orienteering Australia (OA) has a three-tiered Controller Accreditation Scheme which is affiliated with the Australian Sports Commission’s (ASC) National Officials Accreditation Scheme (NOAS).

See 2019-12-19 Controllers – current for a list of accredited controllers. For any errors or omissions, please contact the OA Manager, Coaching and Officiating Development at Manager (Coaching and Officiating Development).

For more information on how to become a controller, email the Technical Director.

Two forms have been designed to assist people to document their claims for either:

• Initial accreditation at any level 2015-02 OA controller initial accreditation form or
• re-accreditation at their current level 2015-02 OA controller re-accreditation form.

Controller Level Responsibility
Level 1 and 2 controller accreditation (and re-accreditation) is the responsibility of State associations. Level 3 accreditation (and re-accreditation) is the responsibility of OA.

Controller’s Code of Ethics
OA endorses the ASC’s Code of Ethics for Officials (Controllers) which can be found at Officials Code of Ethics – Orienteering.doc.

All Officials (Controllers) are required to sign the agreed ASC-OA Code of Ethics before being accredited or re-accredited and the Agreement form (to sign) can be found at Officials Code of Ethics Agreement Forms.
