Some people say that Australian life revolves around sport, whether it’s one of the football codes, swimming, basketball, hockey, track and field, golf, surfing, cricket or netball. You name it, we're probably interested in it.

Sport has always been a central feature of the social and cultural aspects of life in Australia and given our interest in it, sport management has become big business. Major events such as the Olympics, Football World Cup and Rugby World Cup have continued to grown in size since their inception, and each event now attracts a world-wide audience in the billions.

On the local scene, the expansion of the AFL, NRL, Super 14 and Netball League and the introduction of the A-League has resulted in an extremely competitive market, where highly skilled Sport Management experts are in high demand.

"The work experience I did with Surfing Queensland opened up many opportunities within Australia's surfing industry. I made many contacts which I used to gain full-time employment in an industry I love." Mike Xavier, Marketing Coordinator, Globe International Limited.
