Controllers Pages
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
Australia has a three-tiered Controller Accreditation Scheme which is affiliated with the ASC's National Officials Accreditation Scheme.
See this page for a list of accredited controllers.
For more information on how to become a controller, email the Technical Director.
