The women's national team is controlled by Ice Hockey Australia. As of 2011, Australia has 313 female players. Australia is ranked 25th out of 34 countries in the IIHF World Ranking. In September 2015, an announcement was made on the Ice Hockey Australia website that Canadian Lindsay McAlpine will be the new head coach of the Australian women's national ice hockey team, replacing Lee Brown due to health and work reasons. Lee Brown held the position since 2014. Lindsay McAlpine is expected to join the team for their first training camp in December.
