BECOMING A COMMISSAIRE

Are you interested in becoming a cycling Commissaire? Cycling Australia has a commitment to support and encourage you in developing and contributing to our sport whether it be at a Club, State, National or International level.

To become an accredited Commissaire you will need to complete an education and training program to provide you with the skills and knowledge to enable you to officiate as a cycling Commissaire.  Below is a brief outline of how you become a Commissaire.

Cycling Australia is the recognised peak body for the competitive cycling disciplines of road, track, mountain bike, and BMX cycling within Australia.

There are two components to the officiating programs:

1. A rules and knowledge test. Please read the manual and complete the level one workbook. 

2. Practical assessment. Once a candidate has passed the rules test, a qualified assessor must assess them as they officiate at an event to ensure they know the rules and can apply them appropriately in competition.

3. All commissaires must have a valid Working With Children Check.

All accredited cycling officials are recognised as having met the standards, recognised by the Commonwealth and State/Territory governments.
