About Us
The ANU Sport & Recreation Association is an incorporated,
not-for-profit organisation, with a Constitution. The Sport & Recreation Association (SRA) is one of the four student organisations
on the ANU campus which receives an annual allocation of General
Services funding contributed by our Students. Other major sources
of income include non-student member fees, facility usage charges
and short courses.
Our Mission
The objectives of the SRA are to promote and provide a diverse and
exciting range of professionally-provided, affordable sporting and
physical recreation participation opportunities for all of our members.
In short, we only exist for one purpose: to enhance your university
experience by offering health, fitness and leisure activities to
make your time at the ANU a whole lot more energetic, invigorating
and enjoyable. Essential to this purpose, we encourage and assist
in the formation among members of sporting and physical recreation
clubs, and to support and co-ordinate the activities of clubs, so
they can provide exceptional experiences for their members, both
on and off the competition arena!
We endeavour to make our facilities and activities relaxed, fun,
safe, and a place for everyone. We cater to users from all cross-sections
of the university community; professors and academic staff, students
of all ages, gender and nationality, graduates now in the wider
work community, support staff, etc. so the atmosphere created
by our diverse demographic is unlike any other you are likely
to find in the Canberra region.
We believe that our wonderful first class facilities and happy,
helpful staff promote us better than any claim can, so come and
visit, have a quiet workout or a heavy-duty session, bring your
friends or make new ones, and remember – we’re here
entirely for YOUR benefit!
Our Staff
The ANU Sport and Recreation Association employs 9 full time
staff and 9 part time and casual professionals to provide excellent
service across our fitness centre complex, sport and recreation
programs, sports facilities and association administration.
The ANU Sport and Recreation Association’s friendly staff
are always ready to help, whether you’re interested in becoming
a member, enrolling in the Sport and Recreation Program, Sports
Facilities, Fitness Centre or the ANU’s sport and recreation
clubs.
