Squash Australia is the national organisation for squash in Australia, as recognised by the Professional Squash Association[1] and the World Squash Federation.[2] It organises and/or oversees many professional tournaments each year, along with many other official squash events.
In 1913 at the Melbourne Club in Victoria, the first Squash courts were established. [3] It was founded in 1934 as the Squash Rackets Association of Australia (SRAA).[4]
Australia hosted the inaugural World Squash Team Championships in 1967 and won the first four editions from 1967 to 1973.[4]
In 2018 Squash Australia opened a new six-court centre at Carrara on the Gold Coast. The centre, now known as the National Squash Centre, hosted the 2019 World Doubles Championships, where Australia won 8 medals. The National Squash Centre will also host the 2021 World Doubles Championships.[citation needed]
Robert Donaghue has been the CEO of Squash Australia since 25 January 2021.[5]
