Join or create a group
We have a diverse range of student groups and sports clubs at Macquarie.
To create or join a student group you need to sign into MacSync with your Campus ID and have a look at the group directory to find out about existing groups. If you see a group that appeals to you, you can join it and soon connect with Macquarie students who share your passion.
If you don't see the group that you were looking for, why not create your own, spread the word and get social.
Don't forget to check out Macquarie's wide range of sporting clubs. There's something to suit any level of fitness, appetite for competition, or just for fun.
Student group funding
Affiliated student groups can apply for funding to help with their events, activities and operations.
To apply, just raise a Budget Request on MacSync. Provide an itemised budget of things you need funding for and attach supporting documents. If approved, the money will be transferred to the student group bank account.
Insurance
Affiliated student groups have access to protections arranged by Macquarie University, as outlined below:
Public liability

Non-student members
Members who are not Macquarie students are not covered for personal injury insurance.
