One of the main initiatives of the AUPBA is to standardise the minimum age for paintballing across Australia. Why is it that 12 year olds in Western Australia can safely and happily play paintball however in Victoria you need to be at least 18 years of age?

Differences in Australian law prevent teenagers in most Australian states and territories the opportunity to enjoy a day of action-packed paintball. All AUPBA-approved venues place customer safety as their primary concern and this will not be compromised.

As with many other paintballing countries around the world, children and teenagers have been playing the sport for many years and are having the time of their lives. As proven in Western Australia, children’s birthday paintball parties are becoming increasingly popular as parents see the joy on kids faces after a day of paintballing.

In an attempt to achieve a standard minimum age across all states and territories, the AUPBA has setup a petition. Please help our cause by signing the petition here.
