Australian Taekwondo, also known as AUS TKD, is the governing body for the sport of taekwondo in Australia.[2][3]

History[edit]

Taekwondo Australia (TA) and Sports Taekwondo Australia (STA) were once two separate organisations for taekwondo in Australia. In 2013 the two bodies signed an agreement which culminated in a merger in 2014. The new board had an equal number of members from each organisation, with an independent chairperson.[4]

In 2022, Australian Taekwondo announced the opening of a new "high performance hub" for elite taekwondo athletes in Melbourne, co-funded by the Australian Institute of Sport.[5]

Structure[edit]

Sports Taekwondo Australia is affiliated to the Oceania Taekwondo Union and World Taekwondo and is recognised by the Australian Olympic Committee.[6][7]

Functions[edit]

Australian Taekwondo stages the Taekwondo National Championships. The 2023 event is due to be staged in Brisbane.[8]
