Australian Biathlon Association

The Australian Biathlon Association Inc. (ABA) is the body responsible for managing the sport of Biathlon in Australia. The ABA is an incorporated association under the Victoria Associations Incorporation Act 1981.

The IBU recognises the ABA as the governing body for Biathlon in Australia. The ABA is therefore responsible for the nomination of athletes to represent Australia at World Cup and World Championship level.
