Athletics Australia is the national sporting organisation (NSO) recognised by Sport Australia for the sport of athletics in Australia. Founded in 1897, the organisation is responsible for administering a sport with over 16,000 registered athletes, coaches and officials. Athletics Australia (AA) was originally the Athletic Union of Australasia, an amateur group founded in 1897. In 1928, New Zealand broke away to form its own national body, leaving what was known as the Amateur Athletics Union of Australia (AAU). In 1932, an Australian Women's Amateur Athletics Union (AWAAU) was instituted and remained responsible for women's athletics until 1978. In that year, the separate national unions amalgamated into one governing body which, in 1989, was rebranded as Athletics Australia. More information...
