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.
