Strength Sports Australia, previously known as the Australian Powerlifting Union or APU, is the Australian national World Drug-Free Powerlifting Federation affiliate. The APU was the Australian national International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) affiliate for the sport of Powerlifting between the years of 2018 and 2023.[1] Formed in 2018[2] after Powerlifting Australia was removed from the IPF after Robert Wilks (president of Powerlifting Australia) was not re-elected to the IPF Executive Committee,[3][4] the APU hosted local-, state-, national- and international-level competitions under the IPF ruleset and banner.[5]
In November 2023 the APU announced that it was no longer maintaining IPF affiliation but would still run local competitions.[6] In December 2023 the APU announced that in 2024 it would affiliate with the World Drug-Free Powerlifting Federation.[7]
