Referee Conference

Connecting the WA referee community

The Football West Referee Conference is a key event that brings together referees from across Western Australia. It provides an environment for learning, development and alignment, covering updates to the Laws of the Game, key refereeing standards and Football West expectations.

Our conference helps ensure referees at all levels are working from the same foundation of knowledge and applying the Laws consistently across the state. The conference focuses on practical match situations such as game management, positioning, communication and decision-making. It also provides an opportunity for referees, coaches and officials to connect, share experiences and strengthen the refereeing community.
