During the upcoming North Queensland Championships, ANQ will be offering opportunities to new and upcoming officials and volunteers, who may be interested in learning practical skills for helping at athletics competitions.

This is a great opportunity to develop your officiating know-how in all event groups and work with some of the most knowledgeable officials in Australian athletics, right here in North Queensland.

For our club equipment officers, we are offering an exciting opportunity for club Equipment Managers and volunteers to upskill their knowledge in organising, preparing for and managing athletics competitions more effectively. This could be for a regular club day competition or a higher-level competition.
