Achieving International Excellence
The University of Western Australia (UWA) is a leading Australian research
university and has an international reputation for excellence, innovation
and enterprise. A member of the Australian ‘Group of Eight’ research
universities, it is also among Australia’s leading research universities.
Sitting on the banks of the Swan River, the UWA Crawley campus is the
oldest in Western Australia and among the most picturesque in the nation
with its grand sandstone and terracotta buildings sitting among elegant
heritage-listed gardens.
Australian University Sport (AUS) is the peak body for university sport in
Australia and has 42 members nationally. The object of AUS is to act as the
peak body and national authority in Australia for the promotion, conduct
and support of University Sport in Australia for the mutual and collective
benefit of Members, Students and University Sport.
Mission Statement for Australian University Sport
“Building the environment for successful careers and wellbeing
through education and sport”
Meaning: The charter of university sport is not only to provide the
opportunities for participation and facilities in which to participate; it is to
promote the benefits of sport through improved health and fitness which in
turn, assists students in their academic pursuits through the connection of a
“healthy body/healthy mind”.
