Athletics WA Chairman Mal Harford has expressed his great disappointment at the dismal attendance at the Special Meeting on 21st June to adopt the proposed new Constitution that complies with the new Incorporations Act. The lack of a quorum prevented the Constitution being adopted and it will now be an Agenda item at AGM.

More than 20 nations will descend on Suva, Fiji for four days of athletics competition at the 2017 Oceania Athletics Area Championships. Australia will be represented by two teams, Australia and Regional Australia, with 14 of WA’s top athletes set to take part. 

Seven junior WA athletes have been announced as winners of the 2017 Pierre de Coubertin Award and two WA coaches appointed to WA Coach Leadership Series. 

Dear Members and Stakeholders of Athletics in WA,

As you will be aware, Little Athletics WA and Athletics WA through the Community Athletics Council have recently undertaken to have a Whole of Sport Strategic Plan prepared and recently appointed well respected Sports Consultant Mike McLaughlin to oversee this process.

Athletics WA, is the body responsible for governing the sport of athletics in WA and ensuring all athletes, officials, coaches and volunteers are protected by ensuring adequate insurance coverage for sanctioned events.

As such, all clubs, athletes, officials and volunteers must be registered with Athletics WA and participating in a sanctioned event to capture that protection.
