Hell Yeah, I Can Do That
No experience needed. No scary solo deep-end moments. You show up, join a team, get shown the ropes — and leave feeling like you belong to something real. Because you do.
On the Ground
In the Action
You're not watching from behind the fence. You're on course, flagging vehicles, managing stages, up close with the machines and the moments that make this sport unforgettable.
Safety & Fairness
You Make It Happen
Marshals keep the racing safe and fair. When something goes sideways — and it does — you're the calm head that holds it together. You're trained for it. You're never alone.
Community
Mates for Life
The people you meet out on the track tend to stick around. There's a campfire at the end of every event day, and a crew that feels more like family the longer you're in it.

Give Back
You Make the Race
Without marshals, there is no event. Full stop. You are the sport.
Our marshals are the lifeblood of this sport. They're in the rain, in the mud, managing rollovers in the middle of nowhere — and they wouldn't have it any other way. They're not just volunteers. They're the heart of the CCDA.
Long Course Events
Places You'd Never See Otherwise
Help marshal a long course winch challenge and you'll see parts of Australia that most people only dream about — remote station properties east of Broken Hill, under skies so full of stars it stops you in your tracks.
Days in the outback with a crew of passionate people. Properties that are never open to the public. Terrain that has to be seen to be believed. It's not just marshalling. It's a proper adventure.
Getting Started
How to Get Involved
Three steps. Easy as that. You could be on track at your first event within weeks.
Step One
Sign Up — $10
Grab your Marshal Membership online or send us a message on Facebook or the Contact page. Ten bucks. Five minutes. Done.
Step Two

We run regular marshal training sessions — relaxed, friendly, no pressure. You'll learn flagging, safety protocols, and incident management before you ever step foot on a live course.
Step Three
Hit the Tracks
Your first event, you're part of an experienced team. You're never alone, never out of your depth. Just show up, put on the vest, and soak it all in.
What Are You Waiting For?
You'd Be Surprised How Easy It Is to Get Involved
