The APA was created on 07 December 2023[1] after the Australian Powerlifting Union elected to cease affiliation with the IPF[2] and was accepted as a provisional member at the 2024 IPF General Assembly.[3]

edit

The APA is a public company limited by guarantee.[4]

Affiliation and Recognition

edit

Within the APA

edit

The APA has affiliated clubs in 6 Australian States and Territories (all states & territories excluding the ACT).[7]

Within Australia

edit

The APA does not meet all Australian Sports Commission criteria for recognition as a National Sporting Organisation (NSO).[8]

Internationally

edit

The APA is the recognised International Powerlifting Federation affiliate[9] for Australia, as a successor to Powerlifting Australia and the Australian Powerlifting Union. The IPF is itself a recognised member of SportAccord, the successor organisation to the Global Association of International Sports Federations.

Australia is also a member of the IPF's Oceania region, and as such the APA is recognised as a member of the Oceania Regional Powerlifting Federation (ORPF).[10]

Australia is a member of the Commonwealth, and as such the APA is a member of the Commonwealth Powerlifting Federation (CPF).

First Competitions and Teams

edit

First local competition

edit

The first competition hosted by the APA was the "Real McCloy Bench Press Only", held at Penrith NSW on 17 February 2024.[11]

First national competition

edit

The Australian Powerlifting Union did not host a national championship in 2023, meaning lifters had no pathway for qualification for international events in 2024. As a result, the APA scheduled the 2024 national championships earlier in the year to facilitate qualification for international events. Specific eligibility criteria were established for 2024 noting that the organisation had no history and lifters were moving into the APA from other federations.[12] The first national competition was the 2024 National Series: Open Classic held at Newcastle, NSW on 01-03 March 2024. 137 lifters across all genders and weight classes participated.[13]

First international team

edit

The first APA team to represent Australia at an international competition consisted of 13 lifters (5 women and 8 men), who competed at the 2024 IPF World Bench Press Championships held at Austin Texas on 21 May - 1 June 2024.[14]

2024 National Champions

edit

The 2024 National championships were held in Newcastle NSW and Brisbane QLD, with multiple events held across 2024. The table below shows National Champions from all 2024 National championship events. [15][16][17][18][19]
