I've heard that a decision will be made by BA by July 15. There’s plenty of whispers floating around about potential venues but given what has happened this year, you’d think that the 16 & 18 Nationals will be called off in line with other tournaments.

I heard it will most likely be canceled. With everything going on at the moment would be quite silly to try squeeze it in.
it was all steam ahead for 16s and 18s until the 2nd wave in Victoria
BA being based in Melbourne all but assures there will be no nationals this year and at this rate you would have to say 20s and 18s in 2021 are in doubt already too

I think you will find other states may have pulled out also. The world doesn't revolve around VM
Confirmation today from BQ thats nationals are gone
So does that mean school nationals also cancelled?
Everything gone - 20s in February also highly unlikely with 18s in April at this stage very tentative. If this thing spreads up the entire east coast as it is threatening to do, then we could see two to three years of no nationals. That's not exaggerating people that is a genuine outcome at this point.

Re 2020 Australian Schools' Championships, BA appears not to have yet decided if that will be cancelled or not. Their latest statement on this event was back on 7 May:
"A final decision on the staging of the event will be made no later than 31 August, 2020."

Its getting worse on the Eastern Seaboard not better, any WA or SA schools should cease fundraising now because Schools is definitely not going to go ahead. At this rate we will be lucky to have any nationals at all before 16s at Warwick over in the West scheduled for next July.
