All weightlifting events are subject to drug testing by the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority and any competitor in a weightlifting event may be selected by ASADA for testing.

To be eligible to be selected to represent the QWA at the National Senior Championships, National Junior/U23 Championships, National U15/Youth Championships and/ or National Masters Championships, athletes must compete in the equivalent age group Queensland Championships. E.g. a lifter must compete at the Queensland U15 Championships if they wish to be entered in the National U15 Championships or register for the competition online and have an exemption approved.

Regional members can elect to lift at a QWA endorsed local competition within 6 weeks of each State Championships to qualify for the National Championships that the competition relates to. The intention of using this system must be communicated to the QWA office by email, by the member, at the time that the results of the competition are submitted to the QWA for uploading to the AWF website.

An exemption from these conditions may apply in special circumstances. Refer to Section 2 of the QWA Team Selection Policy.

The QWA Team Selection Policy is available from the QWA web site: QWA Selection Policy

There are no refunds or transfers of credit available on competition entry fees.

Competition dates and venues are subject to change up to 14 days before the competition date.
