We know officials don’t develop alone.

That’s why we’ve created Supporting Officials in Practice, a free online course designed to give officials' coaches and mentors the practical knowledge, skills and tools to support officials on the job.

Coaches, mentors and others supporting officials play an important role in helping them learn, grow and develop and across six modules, the course covers:

➡️ Taking on the role of an officials’ coach
➡️ Preparing for observation and feedback
➡️ Developing evidence-based observation skills
➡️ Having reflective feedback conversations
➡️ Turning feedback into an action plan
➡️ Continuing the mentoring relationship

Whether you're supporting officials on the sidelines, on the field or behind the scenes, the course provides practical ways to help make that support count.

Easier to start, easier to share, easier to sustain.

The National Sport Volunteering Action Plan 2026-29 aims to strengthen sport volunteering across Australia through 14 actions and a shared commitment to volunteers, clubs and communities.

While 88 per cent of volunteers report having a positive experience, the new Plan aims to combat the obstacles that lead to volunteers dropping out of sport and may hinder potential volunteers from signing up.

Sport has the power to change lives, but for many people with disability, barriers such as access, cost, awareness, attitudes, a lack of skilled workforce, and limited or unclear pathways can still make participation difficult.

A new national survey is helping build a clearer picture of what's working, where the gaps are, and what needs to change.

The insights will help shape a national Disability Sport Action Plan that aims to better connect efforts across the sector and create more opportunities for people with disability to access, participate and progress in sport.

We want to hear from:

• Participants
• Coaches
• Volunteers
• Officials
• Administrators
• Carers
• Service providers

If you've never been involved in sport because of the barriers you've faced, your perspective is just as important.

Complete the survey by Wednesday 30 September and help create a more inclusive sporting system for everyone.

Learn more about the Play Well Strategy and access the survey via the QR code or via the comments.

How is Wests Brisbane Junior Rugby League Club helping keep sport affordable and accessible for local families?

✅ Using the same shorts and socks for 15+ years
✅ Keeping jerseys current for longer through longer sponsorship agreements
✅ Offering discounts for families with multiple children
✅ Accepting Play On! vouchers
✅ Giving all players game time to help keep more kids connected to sport

Wests Brisbane Junior Rugby League is one of many clubs and organisations already finding practical ways to ensure cost isn't a barrier to participation.

The Cost of Sport study, commissioned as part of the Play Well Strategy and undertaken by researchers from Federation University, has helped build a clearer picture of the real costs of community sport and identify opportunities to help keep participation accessible for more Australians.

We're working with state and territory governments, sporting organisations and community partners to explore practical solutions that help keep sport affordable while maintaining safe, inclusive and quality sporting experiences.
