Each heat of the championship was run concurrently with a heat of the 1967 Australian Drivers' Championship. That series was open to cars complying with the Australian National Formula or with the Australian 1½ Litre Formula. The above table list the Australian 1½ Litre Formula class winners, rather than the outright winners.
New Zealander Graeme Lawrence was not eligible to score championship points as he was not racing with an Australian license.

Points system

Championship points were awarded on a 9,6,4,3,2,1 basis for the first six places in each heat. Only holders of a full General Competition License issued by CAMS were eligible. The best five results from the six heats could be retained by each driver.
