As Powerlifting Australia was removed from the IPF, two new powerlifting federations were formed in Australia during 2018, "Australia Powerlifting Union (APU)" and "Oceania Regional Powerlifting Federation (ORPF)" to represent lifters competing in the International Powerlifting Federation. Competitions no longer follow the IPF Technical Rules in relation to approved equipment and weight classes.
