Q: Which accreditation do I need to sit on a judging panel?

From the 2026 WAG Technical Regulations V1.1: International levels panels (Future, Developing and Senior International): qualified FIG Brevet judges and Advanced Silver judges. Other judging roles can be filled by Advanced judges. Australian Levels Program (ALP) panels at national events: qualified judges, with support roles (such as time and line) filled by Intermediate judges or higher. The minimum for support roles at the Australian Gymnastics Championships is Advanced. State/Territory events: a panel has a minimum of 2 qualified judges. Support roles can be done by qualified judges of any accreditation level. At national events the National Judging Coordinator allocates panels in consultation with the National Technical Director, taking account of accreditation level, experience and declared conflicts of interest (for example, a judge with an International athlete may be allocated to Levels judging).
