Vale Peta Murphy

Published Mon 04 Dec 2023

The Squash community is saddened to hear of the passing earlier today of Peta Murphy MP, Federal Member for Dunkley.

Peta was a passionate supporter of Squash, born from a lifelong involvement in the sport.

Peta represented NSW, ACT and Victoria at junior and senior levels, and went on to win gold medals at the Australian Masters, US Masters and World Masters Games.

Off the court she held a range of important roles including President of Squash & Racquetball Victoria, Vice President of Squash Australia and she was a member of the World Squash Federation Governance and Audit Committee.

Most recently, Peta joined us at the WSF World Junior Championships where she met with players and officials including WSF President Zena Wooldridge OBE and Squash Australia CEO Robert Donaghue.

The thoughts of the Squash community are with Peta's family and friends at this sad time.
