The national Judging framework works similarly to the national coaching framework with the levels of accreditation being the same.

​

Judges begin their journey at the Beginner then progress through the levels of accreditation. The Australian National Judging framework is modeled on the FIG (International Gymnastics Federation) accreditation system centered around high-performance athletes. This means that by progressing through the Gymnastics Australia Judging accreditation pathway, you are on the pathway that will lead to a FIG judging accreditation.

​

One key difference between the judging and coaching frameworks is that even at a beginner level, judges specialise in a chosen gymsport. Each level of accreditation allows judges to judge higher levels of competition within their chosen gymsport. The levels that judges can judge varies between gymsports.
