The honour of being admitted to the Maccabi Western Australia Hall of Fame is restricted to those people who were eligible to be members of Maccabi Western Australia at the time of their activity recognizing that elite athletes may relocate, temporarily for the purposes of improving coaching or competition. It is also for sportspeople who have completed their sporting careers or are no longer competing at the highest level.
The inaugural Maccabi WA Hall of Fame in 2009 was a milestone to recognise the contribution to the organisation of its best sportspeople and administrators. The committee comprising Maccabi stalwarts headed by Dr Marc Adonis organised a very successful celebration function on 8 March 2009 at the Art Gallery of Western Australia at which the successful nominees for the Hall of Fame were announced.
