Our Vision
Our vision is "to be the best referees association in Australia" and our mission is "to supply the rugby league community of the Gold Coast with high quality officials to apply the rules and control the game"
​
The Gold Coast Referees Association provides an alternate pathway to be involved with rugby league.
About our Association
The association is responsible for controlling over 240 junior and senior appointments every weekend with our area stretching from Tugun to Ormeau in the north and out west to Beaudesert and Jimboomba.
​
The association boats a fine record with developing talent, illustrated by Tori Wilkie who started refereeing as a 13 year old and is now a regular in the NRLW competition. Jarrod Cole also started as a 13yo and now has clocked up over 150 appearances at State level and is a regular in the NRL along with Dan Schwass.
​
We have numerous referees involved at state level and many junior referees officiating representative matches.
