The body was founded in Bexley, New South Wales on 10 September 1949 as the Australian Canoe Federation and affiliated with the International Canoe Federation in 1951.[2] In 1996, the Australian Canoe Federation at its Annual General Meeting adopted a new Constitution and changed the name of the association to Australian Canoeing Inc.[3] In 2015, this was changed to Australian Canoeing Ltd. In June 2018, the organization rebranded as Paddle Australia Ltd.[4][5]
