The Australian Motorsport Council (AMC) is the representative body of Australia’s peak national motorsport regulatory bodies across the 5 key motorsport disciplines – motor racing, motorcycle, karting, speedway and drag racing.
The role of the AMC is to provide leadership, industry representation and advocacy through a united national voice for 2-wheel and 4-wheel motorsport for and on behalf of the Australian motorsport community on key issues.
The AMC members are not-for-profit, member-based organisations that represent over 1000 affiliated Motorsport Clubs, 460 Licenced Racetracks and in excess of 335,000 active participants including more than 60,000 licence holders and 18,000 trained Officials across all Australian states and territories.
Individually they are responsible for the safe management, regulation, promotion, development and insurance of their specific disciplines of motorsport from the grass roots through to the international level in Australia.
The AMC is the largest and most credible representative of motorsport sanctioning and organising bodies in Australia. The AMC’s credibility comes not only from the direct national performance of its constituent bodies – which is impressive in itself, but from their affiliation with and adherence to the highest standards of the International motorsport
Federations from which they derive their Australian authority.
The AMC is an independent not for profit company limited by guarantee. Its Board is made up by the Chief Executives of Australia’s peak motorsport bodies under the Chairmanship of five-time MotoGP World Champion – Mick Doohan AM, ensuring the decisions and policies of the organisation reflect the real priorities and concerns of legitimate motorsport
organisations across Australia.
