Motorsport Australia delegates the responsibility for ensuring the efficient administration of motorsport in each state/territory to the six State Councils in Australia.

State Councils meet quarterly or monthly and report to the Board of Motorsport Australia. State Councils consist of delegates elected by the affiliated clubs and their committees in that state/territory and are led by an elected Chairperson.
