The Victorian State - Just Get It Done! - Rope Access Challenge

Bringing the best rope access technicians from all over Australia together to compete in the biggest rope access competition ever hosted in Australia.

A completely new format of rope access challenge, never before done anywhere in the world.

Technicians will be performing challenging manouvres, required to use tools to complete tasks that they would do in the real world, whilst there is Punk Rock music glaring out of the speakers, smoke machines are pumping and the lights, lazers and strobes are shining in their eyes.

There will be 4 state challenges in NSW, VIC, QLD and WA, plus a national final at a mistery location to be announced in August, after the last state competition is completed.

*As long as you adhere to these rules:

- Swings and using hands or feet for work positioning are allowed

- Major discrepancies, like going on a single point for example, will result in major penalties

- Minor discrepancies, like unscrewed carabiners for example (you can use auto lock), will result in minor penalty times

- Dropped objects such as screws, nuts & bolts etc, or requiring external physical assistance during a manoeuvre, will result in penalty times, as specified in each discipline

- Dropped tools & equipment, including carabiners, will be considered a major discrepancy and result in major penalties

- The judge’s verdict is final and undisputable

All challengers will receive the following:

1. Limited edititon event participation shirt
2. One deck of cards with profiles of each challenger (a bit like top trumps or baseball cards)
3. Challenge completion certificate "Your Name , from Your Company Name has successfully completed the Australian - Just Get It Done! - Rope Access Challenge"

Nobody aspires to finish last in such an event. For this reason, we will only formally recognise the top three competitors, announcing first, second, and third places.

However, every participant not reaching the podium will be honored with a certificate of achievement for having "Successfully Completed the Australian - Just Get It Done! - Rope Access Challenge."

The essence of this event is enjoyment and providing each participating company and their representatives a chance to enhance their visibility and reputation with their clients and friends alike.

In the spirit of this, we are committed to acknowledging the effort of all who participate. In this way, each participant is a winner in their own right.
