Archery Australia Update – COVID-19 – Tournaments and QRE’s

Archery Australia Update – COVID-19:

At this unprecedented time, we understand that everyone is impacted in some way and want to express our best wishes to everyone within our archery community.

Archery Australia would like to provide an update below in relation to the current COVID-19 pandemic.

QRE’s, Archery Australia Registered Tournaments and World Archery Registered Tournaments:  

With the latest Community Sport Guidelines from the Minister for Youth and Sport in mind (Please Click Here)  and the rapidly changing environment, Archery Australia would like to announce that as of the Monday, 23 March 2020, all QRE’s, all Archery Australia Registered Tournaments and all World Archery Registered Tournaments will either be cancelled or postponed until the 30^th April 2020. Those wishing to cancel will receive a refund for any registration fees.

Each State and Territory Government has specific guidelines and restrictions around what activities are possible. Please ensure you follow the latest Federal and State government guidelines and restrictions before undertaking any archery activity. We will be working closely with each RGB on this to provide updates in due course.

To confirm, Archery Australia has postponed the 2020 Para and VI Nationals and the 2020 Youth National Championships until further notice. All future National Events will be reviewed on a case by case basis.

World Archery has also confirmed that the international calendar has been put on hold until the end of April 2020 which means the Oceania Championships have been postponed until later in the year – Click Here for more information.
