List of Australian athletics champions (women)

Australian Athletics Championships for women have been conducted since 1930.^[1]

At the first national championships, only 3 events (100 yards, 80 metres hurdles, and High Jump) were contested, but the programme has since expanded to include the full track and field programme. Until 1963, championships were only held once every two years.^[1]
