Squash Australia (SqA)

The squash federation in Australia

Squash Australia (SqA), founded in 1934, is the National Organisation for Squash in Australia and a full member of the World Squash Federation. It has a federated structure whose members are the State and Territory Squash Associations, through which individual membership, insurance and club affiliation are administered. The federation runs a tiered national membership model (from a free digital membership up to a full 'Compete' membership) that bundles personal accident and public-liability insurance, oversees the SquashLevels rating system used for national and state rankings, runs national events including the Squash Australian Open, junior and senior championships and high-performance squads (Next Gen Squad, National Junior Talent Squads, National Performance Centre), and delivers coach/official certification through its Learning Centre. It publishes an annual report each year covering both the national body and the state/territory associations.
