The Australian Rodeo Queen Quest, originally established as the National Rodeo Queen Quest of Australia, was founded in 1992 by Sharon Piggott. Recognising the need to inspire and involve young women in the heritage sport of rodeo, the Quest was officially adopted by the National Rodeo Council of Australia (NRCA).

Now in its 33rd year, the Quest is an annual competition that encourages women from all walks of life to engage with the sport of rodeo. It provides education and development opportunities through the annual Rodeo Queen Clinic, regular communication, public appearances, and fundraising initiatives.

Operated entirely by volunteers, the Australian Rodeo Queen Quest is a not-for-profit organisation. All funds raised are reinvested to support its mission of promoting rodeo across Australia.

A comprehensive rulebook governs the competition and outlines the expectations, responsibilities, and duties of the reigning Rodeo Queen.

Finalists who meet the entry criteria take part in an exciting and educational week on the Gold Coast, Queensland. During this time, contestants participate in promotional events at local attractions and major theme parks to raise awareness for the sport of rodeo. Entrants also make public appearances on behalf of sponsors and charitable organisations throughout the week.

The crowned Ms Rodeo Queen of Australia will go on to represent the Quest nationally, assisting event committees across the country by promoting their events and encouraging greater public engagement.
