Community Football Tribunal

In 2018, the West Australian Football Commission is establishing an independent Community Football Tribunal to hear contested Reportable Offences from Junior and Senior Community Football leagues across the Perth Metropolitan area.

The Community Football Tribunal will act for the following leagues:

* West Australian Amateur Football League
* Junior Football – Fremantle, Northern, Peel and Central Conferences
* Metro Football League
* AFL Masters WA

What’s Required?
Tribunal Secretary will be required to be available weekly to act as Secretary to a Tribunal which will take place on Wednesday nights between 1 April and 30 September 2018 and attend an induction prior to the commencement of the football season.

Selection Criteria
Any person appointed to the Secretary Role of the Community Football Tribunal shall:

* Have experience in the administration of Sports Tribunals or Legal proceedings; and/or
* Possess sufficient knowledge and experience of Australian football, as determined by the WAFC.
