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

* 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.
