History

On 11 November 1995, the Queensland Women's Hockey Association merged with Queensland Men's Hockey Association ending 75 years of independent operation and created Hockey Queensland. The combined Hockey Queensland structure boasts gender equity as well as increased and maintained funding levels to men's and women's programs. Hockey Queensland helped field hockey become an inaugural sport with the Queensland Academy of Sport (QAS) and the Northern University Games.[2]
