KARATE AUSTRALIA MEMBERSHIP

Every individual member is automatically protected by Personal Accident insurance, while clubs and instructors receive Public Liability and Professional Indemnity cover. This national policy is arranged through SportsCover via Karate Australia’s broker. You can train, teach and host events with confidence.

Because Karate Australia is the only body recognised by the Australian Olympic Committee, Sport Australia and the World Karate Federation, your grades, results and instructor accreditations carry weight here and overseas.

Membership unlocks entry to State and National Championships, the Oceania Karate Federation and WKF Premier League and World Championship providing a transparent road from local tatami to the world stage.

Black-belt qualifications can be formally certified through the national body (with Head-of-Style approval), ensuring lifelong recognition of your rank.

Member clubs can tap into state “Active Kids”-style voucher schemes and apply for weapons licences under the peak-body umbrella advantages not available to unaffiliated organisations.

Karate Australia partners with Sport Integrity Australia and enforces robust member-protection policies, creating a respectful, inclusive environment for all participants.

From first class to national team, your Karate Australia membership delivers the insurance, pathways and professional standards that keep our art thriving, giving you every opportunity to train safely, compete fairly and achieve your goals.
