Officiating

Bowls ACT supports a national framework of accreditation for officiating. This framework is provided by Bowls Australia and includes a combination of online and face-to-face learning and assessment. A national framework ensures consistency, minimum standards of expertise, and the broad understanding of best practice in officiating.
