Session 16 - Modern Approach to Officiating will be presented by Brooke Kneebush (Senior Officiating Advisor), Coaching Officiating Area from the Australian Sports Commission.

Brooke will provide an update on the changes the Australian Sports Commission is leading to modernise the approach to transform the sporting experience and encourage people to participate in officiating. A core element of the 'modern approach' is recognising the importance of officials and coaches being aligned in their efforts to support and create positive sporting environments.

Historic Approach	Modern Approach
Official centered	Participant centered
Compliance	Developing competencies to deliver an optimal experience for participants

Officials are competition administrators	Officials have a more holistic, multifaceted role, and they are attuned to the requirements of the participants and the sporting environment
Formal learning only	Bespoke learning opportunities
Officiating resources developed and provided in isolation	Coach and Official development resources are aligned
Decrease in retention and recruitment of officials	Increased recruitment and retention of officials who enjoy what they do
