It has hosted multiple major events, including Regional Championships, old-era National Championships and all editions of OCIC from 2017 to 2023. Australia’s greatest VGC success is Nicholas Kan‘s 2017 Junior Division World Championship win, while in the Masters Division his brother Christopher Kan won the 2017 North America International Championships and Sam Pandelis reached that same year the finals at the 2017 World Championships.
The most recent tournament held in Australia was the 2024 Perth Regional, played with the VGC Regulation Set F in April 2024. The finals saw 2019 Brisbane Regional Champion James Katsaros defeat Chinese Wang Yuxiang to win his second Regional Championship title!
