The Outback Challenge use the services of keen four wheel drivers who incorporate the events into their holidays.

Volunteers form an integral part of any sporting organisation - Imagine the Grand Prix or Commonwealth Games without volunteers. The Outback Challenge is no different. We value, respect and appreciate the efforts made by the participants in our assisting program and therefore endeavour to provide the following;

• A safe working environment
• Training
• Identification
• Quality meals
• Recognition
• Opportunity to develop new skills
• New friendships
• References upon application
• An exciting and rewarding experience

There are different positions within our assisting structure.

Training

The Cross Country Drivers Association requires all marshals be accredited and they offer training programs at least twice a year. These programs train marshals in the duties required to work on the course.

The program consists of theory training where participants become familiar with the regulations. There is also practical training where competitors compete in small short courses and the marshals get hands-on experience. For information on these courses, contact the CCDA.
