AUSTRALIAN POWERLIFTING ALLIANCE

We are a coalition of athletes, coaches, gyms, volunteers, as well as family members and friends who are united by a love of the sport of powerlifting and want to see it grow and thrive for athletes of all levels and abilities in Australia.

Our strength is in the Alliance with our members and is underpinned by our affiliation with the International Powerlifting Federation (IPF). The IPF provides a framework for competitions and the opportunity for interested athletes to compete at world competitions.

In Australia, we seek to uphold the values and rules of the IPF, and provide athletes of all levels and abilities opportunities to participate in competitions run in compliance with IPF rules.

We invite you to #JoinTheAlliance, get involved, compete if you wish, or just get strong with us.
