Australian Quiz Champion

In the late 1940s and 1950s the Australian National Quiz Championships were run and broadcast live by ABC Radio.^[1] The quiz was arranged to promote the federal government's security loans for post-war reconstruction.^[2]

From 2007 to 2023 the Australian Quiz Championship was run by Quizzing Australia in conjunction with the World Quizzing Championship, with the highest individual Australian scorer named the national champion.

In 2024 Quizzing Australia launched a stand-alone Australian Quiz Championships for the first time.
