Broomball Australia is the national governing body for the ice sport of broomball in Australia.[1] It was incorporated in October 2004 after a number of years unofficially operating under other varied names, such as the Australian Broomball Association. Broomball Australia is a member of the International Federation of Broomball Associations (IFBA).
Broomball Australia sanctions the Australian National Broomball Championships, an annual tournament to determine Australia's national broomball champions.
As of 2006 Broomball Australia had four full members and one associate member. Full members are granted full voting rights within the association with two delegates appointed to the National Council, the decision-making arm of the body.
