A free 30 day trial is available for the monthly membership option for Individuals, but not for annual membership. We are confident that your subscription will be incredibly beneficial for you. As the membership base grows and our content library expands, being part of the School Sport Professionals network will be an absolute must for you each year. If you are unhappy with the service provided during the membership period, or have concerns with the membership offerings, please feel free to be in contact and we can discuss options with you.
Membership is open to anyone involved in the delivery of school sport programs, however the main focus will be on providing resources, professional development and networking opportunities for people managing school sport associations or interschool competitions.
The initial focus of School Sport Professionals will be on sporting programs, however there is certainly scope to expand membership deliverables in the future to support associations that deliver a more diverse range of programs for their member schools. During the registration process, you will be asked to provide details of any additional non-sporting or cultural programs that you conduct. This will enable specific sub-groups to be established in the online members’ forum to facilitate discussion and resource sharing.
Absolutely! Content available ONLY to members includes
– access to the members’ discussion forum
– invitations to attend the monthly online professional development sessions
– access to the digital resource centre
– opportunity to collaborate on projects with other professionals
100%. Starting out in a new career can be a daunting experience, but rest assured we have all been in your shoes. One of the many benefits of being a member is an opportunity to work closely with an experienced mentor. When you register, you will be asked to nominate to participate in a mentor / mentee professional relationship. This will provide benefits for both the mentor (experienced professional) and the mentee (learning the ropes).
You can cancel your membership at any time through your account settings. However, please note that membership fees are non-refundable once paid. If there are exceptional circumstances to be considered, please contact us using the link below to discuss details.
We are pleased to announce that a new membership structure will be available for Organisations for 2026 and beyond. This option enables a single payment to be made covering all Association employees so that they can all receive the benefits available to Members. This will ensure that each and every member is provided with a high level of customised content and service delivery.
Small Organisations $200 – For Associations with 2-3 FTE employees
Medium Organisations $400 – For Associations with 4-8 FTE employees
Large Organisations $800 – For Associations with 9+ FTE employees
This structure offers significant savings when Associations register for membership collectively. Another benefit is that membership within an organisation can be transferred if employees change during a given membership period.
The details below should help explain how this is determined for a collective membership:
- FTE refers to full-time equivalent employees.
- Two part-time employees can be considered the same as one FTE. For example: 2 FTE + 2 PTE = 3 FTE and could be considered a Small size for organisational membership.
- Organisational membership must be paid in full as an annual subscription and can be paid by credit card or an invoice can be provided for an EFT payment.
