Vacancy - ONSW Member Protection Information Officer
- Last Updated: Monday, 31 August 2020 15:08
We have a vacancy at ONSW for a Member Protection Information Officer (MPIO).
A Member Protection Information Officer is responsible for providing confidential information about a person's rights, responsibilities and options to an individual making a complaint or raising a concern.
They are the first point of contact in a sporting organisation in such cases. MPIOs are generally impartial but do not mediate or investigate complaints.
If you are interested in this important volunteer role, or have questions about the position, please email the ONSW Secretary This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
Prospective MPIOs undertake training leading to certification. Currently all training is via the internet – see here for more details.
ONSW thanks Lisa Lampe for the five years she spent in this role.

Half-century for John Oliver

Congratulations to Waggaroos president John Oliver who recently became the first NSW orienteer to notch up 50 years in the sport.
John has done just about everything in orienteering - except win an individual national championship. There's still plenty of time!Weekend events cancelled

All this weekend's events have been cancelled or postponed, due to the NSW government now recommending against travel between zones/regions for community sport.
We are naturally disappointed that sport has been singled out for these further restrictions, and ask everyone to please follow all covid protocols no matter where they are or what they are doing.
Please check Eventor to see how and when events will be conducted over the next six weeks.
State Leagues 2-3 and the NSW Schools Champs have been cancelled.
Our covid web page has been updated with the latest ONSW safety plan.
Sad? Don't forget the many permanent courses around the state where you can get your O fix.
And our rogaining cousins have posted some previous events on MapRun.
