National scene
Padel arrived with a handful of Sydney and Melbourne courts. It's since spread to every mainland state and the ACT, with new venues opening fast.
By region
Availability changes quickly as new clubs open — treat this as a starting point for your search, not a complete directory.
Court counts are approximate, current as of mid-2026 — see padelaus.com.au for the full, up-to-date list.
Booking made easy
Most Australian padel clubs take their bookings through Playtomic — a free app and website where you can check live court availability, see prices, and pay in a few taps. It's not run by us, but it's the tool most players actually use to find a game.
Before you book
Most venues rent rackets and balls for a small fee, so there's no need to buy anything before you know you'll stick with it.
Courts in Sydney and Melbourne fill up fast, especially evenings and weekends — booking a day or two ahead is common practice.
Padel is a doubles game, so the easiest way in is to book a court with three others — many venues also run social mixers if you're coming solo.
