Australian Oztag recently suspended all Autumn & Winter competitions from Monday, 23rd March until Monday, 4th May 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This date will now be extended until Monday, 1st June 2020 and will be revised again if needed as information on the pandemic is rapidly changing.
It is important we take the necessary precautions as a sporting body and follow Government advice/directives during the pandemic.
We are all missing playing Oztag and we hope to be back on the field as soon as it’s deemed safe to do so.
Please take all the necessary precautions during the COVID-19 pandemic to keep your family and yourself safe and to further prevent the spread of the virus.

As a result of the 2020 NSW Oztag State Cup being postponed due to COVID-19, it has impacted on the opportunity for players to be seen & considered for selection for the Australian Tagaroos squad in the 2021 World Cup.
This amended policy is only for players who did not play in the Australian Championships 2019 & were registered to play in the NSW State Championships in March 2020.
If you consider yourself a player of the ability required for selection into an Australian team & you would like to be considered, please email your Oztag CV which covers your playing division, position/s, playing history and 2 references to mick@oztag.com.au by Friday, 3rd April.
Your CV will be forwarded to the respective coach for consideration.
Once considered the coach may invite you to attend the Tagaroos World Cup Selection Day in May 2020 (subject to restrictions relating to COVID-19), however, this will be at the Coaches discretion in consultation with Australian Oztag.

Australian Oztag
Response to COVID-19 (Coronavirus)
Domestic competitions
This is an update in regards to COVID-19, or better known as the Coronavirus for all Associations.
It is important we take the necessary precautions as a sporting body and follow Government advice/directives during the pandemic. There are changes every day as the Government constantly updates its restrictions.
AO is continually meeting to discuss the situation and will provide timely updates or each day if necessary.
As you are aware the NSW Senior State Championships & Australian Oztag Trans-Tasman Tour have both been postponed. This comes after NZ & Australian Governments both implemented travel restrictions and mandatory self-isolation procedures when entering the countries as well as a ban on non-essential mass gatherings of more than 500 people.
Most Associations have completed their Summer season with a few still playing finals this week. Our advice is to finish these competitions implementing the good practice hygiene tips below and ensuring you abide by the Non-essential gathering policy of 500 persons. (should not be issue with players attending, playing & leaving straight away.)
