In the beginning...

Australian Competitions (now AussieComps.com) began life around 2007 as a group of competition-lovin' friends sharing comps and giveaways with each other. Due to increasingly sending each other duplicate comps, we decided to setup a competition list on a database for ourselves to submit and access our comps from. In early 2013, we decided to combine this idea with a website for all Australians to share 'our' comps!

We knew of other competition websites but we wanted ours to give people fresh, new comps every day of the year. So, with that in mind, Australian Competitions was designed and built during June and July 2013 and officially launched on the 3rd of August 2013. Due to the other group members being too busy to help run the website, I (Scott) took over sole ownership on our 1st birthday (3rd of August 2014). Australian Competitions was renamed and rebranded to AussieComps.com just after our 2nd birthday in August 2015.

About Me (Scott - The Owner/Admin of AussieComps.com)

I am a former self-employed website designer and one of the founders of the original comping group. I've always loved entering comps, having being a part-time, hobby comper for over 20 years before starting Australian Competitions/AussieComps.com. I'm a 50-odd year old Aussie bloke who lives in a small country town in the south of Western Australia with my wife and three adult children.

These days, besides running AussieComps.com, I am my wife’s full-time disability carer. Her deteriorating medical problems see us having to regularly travel 170km to a major regional hospital (Albany WA) or 270km to any one of a number of major city (Perth WA) hospitals for her to get specialist medical treatment. That travel is on top of the 3-4 times a month she is required to attend the local hospital and the numerous home treatment sessions of me having to give her injections and medications to ease her pain :(

Luckily I have good mobile internet so I can still manage AussieComps.com on the road or while I’m sitting for hours at a time in hospital waiting rooms! I also have a pretty good daily schedule that allows me to do everything that needs to be done each day on AussieComps.com but if you ever see me list a bunch of comps on the website, then another batch an hour or two later, then another batch a few hours later you can safely guess that I'm probably helping the wife, running her to a medical appointment or doing some shopping/cooking/cleaning/washing etc.

People often ask why I run AussieComps.com when I am so busy with looking after my wife and running the household single-handedly. To be honest, AussieComps.com is an extension of my comping hobby addiction and by finding comps and being sent comps for the website listings, it gives me an excuse to still enter lots of giveaways each day. Plus it allows me to help lots of everyday Aussies better their lives, even by just a little, by allowing them to enter some great comps and hopefully win a few prizes here and there. I have also found AussieComps.com is terrific for promoting the wonderful competition providers for whom without them there would be no competitions and no awesome prizes for us to enter and win!

I genuinely love everything about comping - finding and researching the comps, entering and sharing them, promoting awesome Aussie businesses, helping Aussies win some cool prizes, winning things for myself and my family etc. - and I genuinely love running AussieComps.com. If you would like to contact me about absolutely anything (even just to say g'day) please email me at and I will reply to you as soon as possible. Good luck and have fun with your comping. I truly hope you win :)
