The Orienteering Australia Hall of Fame was established in 2016.
The Orienteering Australia Hall of Fame is the crowning achievement of a sporting career in orienteering in Australia and represents the highest level of peer recognition for an individual’s contribution to Australian orienteering.
The Orienteering Australia Hall of Fame recognises and promotes the outstanding sporting achievements of our athletes and officials to acknowledge the rich sporting heritage of Australian orienteering. It is an illustrious group of Australia’s most respected and celebrated orienteers that span the test of time. They are the best of the best, who through their achievements have made a significant contribution to our sporting history and have inspired others to achieve their potential in both sport and life.
Membership of the Orienteering Australia Hall of Fame is divided into two categories.
An Athlete Member is someone who has competed and achieved high level success at the top level of competition in World Championships, medal level performances in World Masters competition and long term high level success in elite competition in Australia.
A General Member is someone who has demonstrated excellence and outstanding achievement in roles supportive to orienteering participants (administration, coaching/training, event organisation, mapping, and officiating).
