Orienteering NSW, now known as ONSW, was established in 1972 following the first orienteering events in NSW in 1971. It was incorporated (Y0104618) on 19th October 1987 and later registered for an ABN (45 062 472 184).

ONSW is a not for profit organisation which oversees and promotes the sport of orienteering within NSW. The Association is affiliated with Orienteering Australia Inc which is in turn affiliated with the International Orienteering Federation. There are 14 orienteering clubs across NSW that are affiliated with ONSW, and all financial members of affiliated clubs are members of ONSW.

ONSW 2022 Strategy with 2023 Updates

The Association derives its income from membership fees, event fees, and government grants.

We are especially appreciative of the ongoing support of:

Australian Sports Commission or now branded as Sport Australia;
NSW Office of Communities, Sport and Recreation; and
Sport NSW.

The Association is governed by a Board of Directors elected from members of the affiliated clubs at its Annual General Meeting, held usually in March of each year. The Board holds regular meetings on a monthly basis to determine policy matters, schedule events, and generally govern the administration of the Association.

The day to day affairs of the Association are managed by a small group of employed staff and an army of volunteers. Contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
