Basketball Queensland’s Referee Development Program provides pathways for referees from officiating their first game of junior basketball through to being a FIBA official at international events. The pathways available to referees include being able to referee at local, regional, state, national and international competitions at both junior and senior levels.

Part of this development is guided by BQ's referee grading system and courses. Progression from one level to the next is based on your theory knowledge and practical expertise, and the pace of progression will differ for every referee.
