Badminton Oceania

What Badminton Oceania does

Badminton Oceania (legally Badminton Confederation Oceania, DBA: BOC) is the continental governing body for badminton across Oceania, registered in New Zealand and headquartered in Auckland. Operating under the authority of the Badminton World Federation (BWF), the organisation represents 18 national member associations spanning developed markets (Australia, New Zealand) and Pacific island nations (Cook Islands, Fiji, Guam, Tahiti, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea, Northern Marianas, and others). It delivers an integrated portfolio of governance, competition, and development services, including sanctioning and organising international tournaments (VICTOR Oceania Championships, VICTOR Oceania Junior Championships, International Challenge events, and the new CROWNE PLAZA Oceania Masters), maintaining the Oceania Rankings system, providing BWF-accredited coach education and technical officials development pathways, and running grassroots and inclusion programmes (Shuttle Time school initiatives, AirBadminton outdoor play, Para Badminton, Special Olympics integration, Gender Equity, and Sport for Development initiatives such as Team Up GymBad in PNG).

Its business model rests on three revenue streams: recurring membership dues from the 18 national associations, transaction-based event registration and sanctioning fees from tournament participants across 20+ countries, and sponsorship/partnership revenue primarily from VICTOR (equipment sponsor across flagship championships) and Bartercard, supplemented by grant funding from Olympic Solidarity, the Oceania Paralympic Committee, and multiple New Zealand charitable foundations (NZCT, Four Winds Foundation, Milestone Foundation, NSTL). Technology infrastructure is limited to BWF-developed tournament management and scoring systems plus a YouTube-based live streaming platform; there are no proprietary technology products, APIs, or AI capabilities. The organisation is led by CEO/Secretary General Julie Carrel with a small team of approximately 8-11 staff covering participation, coaching, events, communications, and Pacific operations including a PNG-based administration officer.
