Listed are Australian officials at the 2024 Paris Olympics and Paralympics – most likely the pinnacle of their officiating career.

These officials were selected by their relevant international sports federations not the Australian Olympic Committee or Paralympics Australia.

It is important to recognise sports officials as they are one of the foundations of sport. The officials listed maybe a role model for those officials in Australia that aspire to international representation.

At the 2024 Paris Olympics, Australian surfing judge Ben Lowe was removed during the competition after a picture of him was posted to Instagram with Australian surfer Ethan Ewing and surfing coach Bede Durbidge in Tahiti.
