Unisport Nationals Competition
Nationals are held each year in a different location. They provide an opportunity for member universities from across Australia to complete head to head in a number of national sporting competitions. For the past two year, students from our partner Simon Black Academy have competed for Torrens and have accumulated 2 bronze and 1 silver medal in Australian Rules.
This year the competition will be held in Perth, WA from 26 September - 2 October.
Indigenous Nationals
Indigenous Nationals is a week-long multisport competition for Indigenous student-athletes. The annual event aims to bring together student-athletes from universities across Australia to compete in a variety of sports and ultimately crown one university team the champion of the games. Indigenous Nationals is an amazing environment to not only celebrate the rich sporting culture of Indigenous Australia, but to also acknowledge the heritage and history of the participating student-athletes.
If cold weather sports are your thing, take a look at the Nationals Snow held annually.

Other member opportunities to explore include participation in FISU (International Federation of University Sport) as a student leader and more so take some time to explore the Career Pathways link.
