Club Funding Review
The 40 sporting clubs provide the 7,000 members with a
range of competitive sporting, recreational and
instructional opportunities each year.
In 2005 clubs received close to $600,000 in funding
support.
Post Voluntary Student Unionism (VSU) funding was
reduced to $130,000 in 2006 but has gradually increased
to $345,000 in 2014 with the introduction of the Student
Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF).
Club Funding Review
Financial and in-kind support from MU Sport is crucial for
some clubs but not so critical for other clubs
Despite participation numbers continuing to increase the
performance of many competitive clubs has not improved
over the last five years
It is also a perception that there is a lack of transparency
in the current distribution of funds
MU Sport has determined to undertake a review of the
current club funding model and develop a more
transparent criteria for the future (2015 onwards)
distribution of funds in line the Strategic Plan for Sport.

Club Survey Refresh
• Overall analysis was very good news:

Overall Club Experience
• Of the individual satisfaction drivers:
 Club Culture was highest ranked with 82.0%
 Club Servicing was next ranked with 81.0%

• Of the individual satisfaction drivers:
 Practice facility(s) clean and well maintained (72.1%)
and change rooms and showers meet needs (72.8%)
were the lowest ranked
Club Survey Refresh
• Recent Sports Precinct facility development expected to
impact on future satisfaction of on-campus facilities
– Sports Centre team change facilities; function and meeting spaces
– Oval Pavilion team change facilities, social space and function space
• Engagement with City of Melbourne to continue to impact
on future satisfaction for off-campus facilities
Club Survey – Next Steps
Step 1
• MU Sport to engage independent consultant David McLeod to
provide further analysis on Club benchmark measurements
using original Club survey data from 2013
Step 2
• Each individual club's member satisfaction results will be
compared to the performance average (benchmark) of its club
type (Competitive, Recreational, Instructional)
• Clubs +/- 20% off the benchmarks to be identified and
engaged for discussion
Club Survey – Next Steps
Step 3
• Sports Development will meet with identified clubs to review
their results and discuss opportunities for increasing member
satisfaction, in particular any areas which are below the club
type benchmark (where mutually agreed)
Step 4
• Agree on long/short opportunities/strategies for club (with MU
Sport) to increase member satisfaction
• Survey to be conducted in 2015 and bi-annually thereafter
