The New South Wales Touch Association (NSWTA) is pleased to advise the successful 2023-2026 State Panel applicants.
Following an extensive expression of interest and assessment process, the Board has endorsed the State Directors’ recommendations for the State Referee Panel and Coaching Panels. The State Selection Panel is still being finalised and will be announced shortly.
As part of its Toward 2024 Strategic Plan, the NSWTA held workshops in the implementation phase, and it has been identified through this process that State Panels should be appointed for three-year terms. As such, the NSWTA state Panels will be in place from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2026.
