Summary

Apart of the UQ Goorie Goannas Nationals side, we are requesting any type of sponsorship amounts to help subsidise the total amount require the participate at the upcoming Nationals event.

Description

Indigenous Nationals is an annual event that allows young Indigenous Australians to participate in a sporting competition, while working towards attaining higher education qualifications. Nationals allows Indigenous Australians to be immersed in culture and community, along with providing tangible health and fitness benefits. This is important as Indigenous people continue to experience poorer employment, education and health outcomes compared to non-Indigenous Australians.

In 2019, UQ’s Indigenous National Uni Games team won first place in the volleyball competition, and placed ninth in the overall standings, against 28 other university teams. Last year the competition did not take place due to COVID-19. This year, we are aiming to improve our overall ranking, but our attendance is contingent on raising sufficient funds.
