EVENT GROUPS

• Athletes may only enter events in a maximum of two age groups and with the exception of under 14 athletes who may enter the same events in both the under 14 and under 15 age group, there must be at least two years between the age groups entered in the same event.

• No athlete may enter the same or similar events** within the U15 and U16 age groups.

• No athlete may enter the same or similar events** within the U17 and U18 age groups.

• Para-athletes may compete the same or similar events** in one under under-age group only but may also enter the same or other events in Open. Entries for para-athletes in under-age events will be accepted in a universal age group. Where there are at least three athletes confirmed for an age group in any event a separate championship event will be conducted. Where this means an athlete would be competing out of their age group, throwing implement weights will be base on their age.

** Same or Similar event means 80/90/100/110m hurdles; 200/400m hurdles; 3000/5000metres and

1500/3000/5000m walk and each of the throwing events (regardless of change in weight of implements).

• Athletes must be turning 14 years of age in the year of competition in order to enter any steeplechase event.
• Athletes must be turning 16 years of age in the year of competition in order to enter any event in excess of 5000 metres or any men’s open throwing, hurdles or steeplechase events.
• As the championships will be conducted using the vertical jumps starting heights and triple jump take-off boards set out in the Entry Standards, this should be taken into account when athletes are considering using the method of entry qualification. 

PARA-ATHLETES CLASSIFICATION

All para-athlete entries, must have a current National Level Classification or higher to qualify for entry into an Athletics Australia event. If the Athlete’s National Classification (or higher) is past its review date, entry will be at the discretion of Athletics Australia.
