The Officiating Development Platform for Australian sport
One platform. Every official.

From an official's very first game to elite competition, TARCORAH replaces paperwork, spreadsheets and disconnected systems with one connected development pathway — and a single source of truth for your entire officiating workforce.
Safer sport. Stronger officiating. Brighter futures.
- Reduce administration
- Standardise development
- Retain officials
- Ensure compliance
- Stronger sport
The challenge
Australia isn't losing games.
It's losing officials.
The officiating shortage is the single biggest workforce risk in sport. Most associations still manage development with spreadsheets, email and disconnected forms — so records get lost, grading drifts, and officials walk away before anyone notices.
- Records live in spreadsheets, inboxes and paper forms
- Grading drifts between assessors and seasons
- Nobody sees an official disengaging until they are gone
