The Australian Fencing Federation (AFF) is the national sporting organisation responsible for governing the Olympic sport of fencing in Australia. The AFF works closely with its six member States and Territories to ensure fencing remains an exciting, accessible and challenging sport, providing opportunities for participation at all levels - recreational, competitive and elite. The AFF's key objectives include increasing participation, maximising high performance and promoting awareness of fencing within the broader Australian community. The AFF also works to represent the interests of its members with key stakeholders and funding bodies, both within Australia and overseas. The work of the AFF is managed by a Board of Directors comprising five elected directors, the Athletes Director and up to two appointed directors.
