Club Development Resources
UniSport Australia has developed the resource list of Club Development information that can be used to assist with the management and conduct of clubs on campus. There will be policies, templates and university showcases that will assist you with the management of clubs on campus.
If there are resources across the UniSport membership that you would like to share, please contact your Member Relationship Manager.
There will be ongoing updates to this page as more resources become available. Please check back often for updates
