2023 Snow Australia Para Classification Education 

Overview:  

Snow Australia is seeking expressions of interest from individuals who are passionate about Para Snow sports and are interested in joining our volunteer team of Para-Snow Sport Classifiers.

As the governing body for snow sports in Australia, Snow Australia are responsible for ensuring that Para athletes are classified fairly and accurately, so that they can compete on a level playing field. Para-Snow Sport classifiers play a critical role in this process by assessing an athlete's functional ability and assigning them to a sport class that is appropriate for their level of impairment.

Key Details:   

Dates 17th - 20th August 2023

Eligibility: 

Snow Australia are seeking individuals who are passionate about Para Snow Sport, have a keen eye for detail, and are committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity and fairness.
