Badminton Australia also organises and runs junior events such as the June Bevan Teams Event or CP Maddern Trophy with their respective Australasian Championships, along with the Australian Closed Championships.

Australia is not yet a competitive nation in the field of badminton due to the current Asian and European/Scandinavian dominance.

[4] When commenting on Australian players at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, BA's Chief Executive Paul Brettell has said that "A bad draw will see [the Australian players] out after their first game"[5] and that "Australia's greatest achievement is just qualifying for the event".

[7] A notable exception to this trend was Anna Lao at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, where she reached the quarterfinals in the women's singles, doubles and mixed and was overall ranked 5th in the world for each of those events.

More recently, there appears to be a resurgence in Australian badminton with a strong performance at the 2012 London Olympics where Leanne Choo and Renuga Veeran reached the quarterfinals of the women's doubles event.
