Padel in Australia is still young, growing fast from a single Sydney car park in 2015, with Sydney and Melbourne now leading a genuinely national scene.
Australia's outdoor, active lifestyle suits padel well, with a choice between city energy and the country's famous beach culture. This is a good market for coaches who like getting in early and helping shape a scene rather than joining an established one.
Coaches are valued here, and influential in the running of many new clubs, so this is a truly exciting new market for padel.
AT A GLANCE
Padel scene in Australia
Padel is just getting started here, but destined for real growth: over 100 courts now, expected to double by the end of 2026. Australia's strong outdoor, active culture suits it well, and Sydney and Melbourne have established Spanish and Latin American communities already familiar with the game.
DAY TO DAY
What to expect from life in Australia
Australia offers a genuinely high standard of living, strong healthcare, and a laid-back, outdoor-focused culture. Seasons run opposite to the Northern Hemisphere, so summer falls over Christmas. Sydney and Melbourne are cosmopolitan and busy; coastal towns move a lot slower.
BUDGET
Cost of living in Australia
Living costs in Australia are high compared with many coaching destinations. Sydney is among the country's most expensive cities, while Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth can offer better value, particularly for rent.

| Comfortable all-in monthly budget | $4,000 |
| One-bedroom apartment, Sydney | $3,000 |
| Barista coffee | $5 |
