Clubs SA Background

Founded in 1919, Clubs SA is the trading name for the Licensed Clubs' Association of South Australia - the official industry body representing the interests of licensed Clubs in this state. Its major platform has been to effect changes to government legislation to enable Clubs to become more self sufficient over the long term, and to also provide a recognised infrastructure for the active support and promotion of sport and community events across the Club industry.

Our Objectives

As an overall philosophy, Clubs SA's mission is to preserve, promote and advance the interests of member Clubs and the Club industry as a whole. Clubs SA's membership comprises sporting, ethnic, social and community Clubs. The Association works to promote and protect the interests of its members by providing a number of direct services to the Club movement of South Australia, including:

• Industrial Relations & Human Resource Management
• Licensing matters, including compliance with legislation
• Training and development services
• Representation to Government and authorities
• Legal services
• Employment services

Clubs SA is also attached to a national structure known as Clubs Australia. Comprising each State Association peak body, Clubs SA has always been an active member of this body in order to  represent the interests of its members at both local and national levels.

Clubs Australia meets biannually. Issues such as excise duties, taxation, industrial relations, fund-raising techniques, political lobbying, Club management and other areas of collective concern are addressed.
