Referee

Within Australian Basketball, there are two national leagues, the women's league (WNBL) and men's league (NBL).

​Referees are appointed to the national leagues (NBL and WNBL) after their development through their respective state and territory pathway.

Australia's Referee Program Manager is responsible for:

  • the strategic direction of refereeing in Australia
  • selecting and developing the National Panel of referees and other talent across the country
  • supporting and resourcing the education and training of referees at all levels.

​Each individual State Body is responsible for:

  • the policy and implementation of coaching and appointing referees in their State
  • conducting approved accreditation courses and other educational content
  • managing the process of accreditation and re-accreditation of referees in their State.
