How much are AUNC Fees?
As a not-for-profit club, we strive to keep our fees as affordable as possible. Fees vary by season and competition, and we provide updated costs annually. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need more information.
In addition to club fees, for insurance purposes players must also purchase an Adelaide University Sport membership. This lasts for one calendar year - e.g. if you play in winter and summer comps, social comp in semester one and two, or both championship and social comps, you only pay the membership fee once.
AU Student Membership: $11 (For Adelaide University students only)
University Membership: $71.50 (For staff, Adelaide University graduates, UniSA graduates, and other university students)
Associate Membership: $93.50 (For those who have no link to a University)
Do you offer payment plans?
We sure do! If you think you'll have trouble paying your fees on time, have a chat to our treasurer (netballtreasurer@adelaideunisport.com.au) and we can sort out a payment plan for you.
Do I have to go to Adelaide Uni or be a student to play for AUNC?
