Clubs and societies

We have a range of affiliated clubs and societies for you to consider. Joining a club or society can be rewarding - it’s an opportunity to meet new people, to keep fit and to have fun. It also gives you the chance to enjoy a life outside of academia. If you are interested in becoming a committee member of a club or society these skills will assist you when entering your chosen profession and become invaluable life skills.

How do I join a USQ club or society?

If you are interested in contacting a club or society you can go to them directly or drop into our Phoenix Central Office. Affiliated clubs and societies also participate in USQ events throughout O Week such as Market Day, so you will have the opportunity to talk with members or sign-up.

Why should we become a USQ affiliated club or society?

There are a number of benefits in affiliating your club or society with USQ, including:

• support and advice on running a club from Phoenix Central
• increased exposure through promotional material (i.e. USQ website, calendar of events, brochures and posters)
• free stalls will be provided during O Week
• equipment can be borrowed to assist in fundraising (i.e. BBQ)
• access to free/or subsidised on-campus room bookings.
