Maccabi is a world wide organisation.
We are part of a Global Movement
Maccabi Australia is a Zionist sports organisation with a strong focus on strengthening its links with Israel and the global Jewish community through our affiliation with Maccabi World Union( MWU).
MWU is a worldwide organisation that represents Jewish sportsmen and women around the world. Globally MWU represents some 450,000 members in over 80 countries participating in just about all sporting codes and has established a phenomenal track record of using organised sports as a passport to lifelong Jewish involvement.
Maccabi Australia symbolises community, friendship, connection and competitive spirit. Just as sport maintains an important role in society, Maccabi has and will continue to play an intrinsic part of the fabric of the Australian Jewish community. Maccabi prides itself on providing opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to not only get active, but also form lifelong friendships.
Acknowledgement of Country
We acknowledge and pay our respects to the Traditional Owners of Country on which we meet, connect and play sport, and which we call home.
Maccabi respects the diverse protocols, heritages and cultures of all First Nations peoples. We pay respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders and peoples both past and present, and we acknowledge and are inspired by the significant contribution that they have made to sport in the Australian community.

Maccabi State
With a presence in 4 states across the country, there is a Maccabi club or a wellbeing activity near you. To obtain further information about what is available in each state, select the relevant state from the map.
Maccabi LifeHealth & Wellbeing
In late 2018, Maccabi Australia shifted the strategic scope of the organisation to include a focus on health and wellbeing and launched the Maccabi Life initiative.
The organisation recognised that there had been a greater shift to unstructured physical activity, resulting in lower participation in club activities. The association between sport and health and wellbeing is a natural one, so it seemed fitting for Maccabi to take a leading position in this space.
The aim of Maccabi Life is to create sustainable health change in our Australian Jewish community by promoting the benefits of a healthy lifestyle through nutrition, body and mind, the perfect add on to our National Sports Program. Maccabi Life focuses on reaching people who are involved in – or seek to become involved in – unstructured activities. The initiatives are designed to engage not only Maccabi club members, but also the wider Jewish community.
