Supporting Participation Through the Play Well Grant
The survey and prize pool were made possible through the Australian Sports Commission’s Play Well grant, supporting the expansion of Learn to Orienteer programs nationwide. The survey data will help shape how Orienteering Australia attracts and supports newcomers, refine Discover Orienteering and Learn to Orienteer programs, and inform the next national Participation Plan.
Major Prize Winners
The four major prizes were awarded to:
- Kylie B – Winner of outdoor adventure shoes (valued at $250)
- Andrew B – Winner of a SPORTident Air – contactless timing device (valued at $140)
- Clare N – Winner of an orienteering compass (valued at $120)
- Zoe S – Winner of a brand-new orienteering top
$50 Voucher Winners
Following the major prizes, fifty additional entrants were drawn to win a $50 outdoor adventure voucher. All the winners are listed below.
We will reach out to all winners to congratulate them and confirm details.
Referral Scheme
The survey is a chance for to hear from people one step away from orienteering. Current orienteers are encouraged to share it with their friends, family and colleagues. This will also create an opportunity to invite them to try orienteering at an upcoming event.
The referral reward remains open—anyone named by five people as their survey referrer will receive a $20 voucher, Be quick, it closes at the end of 2025.
Thank You to Survey Participants
Orienteering Australia thanks everyone who completed the survey and contributed their experiences and insights. This feedback will play a key role in shaping the future of the sport.
