The specific needs of the weightlifting team and individual weightlifters are the primary concerns when selecting coaching staff.

Applications for coaching positions within Queensland teams will be called from current active Queensland weightlifting coaches who are accredited in the National Coaching Accreditation Scheme of the AWF and Australian Sports Commission. All written applications will be reviewed and assessed according to the QWA Coach Selection Criteria by the Selection Committee, which is a standing committee appointed by the Management Committee of the QWA.
