Development
Rowing is a great community sport; driven by committed club administrators and coaches and provides safe, fun and rewarding experiences for all of its participants. Rowing is a sport for life, accessible to people of all ages, genders, fitness and skill levels. It is currently enjoyed by over 60,000 participants and 25,000 active members in 185 schools and 156 clubs throughout the country.
Rowing Australia (RA) is committed to the enhancement of the sport of rowing throughout Australia. Working in cooperation with the state rowing associations, RA facilitates a national approach to the development and advancement of the sport through education, club development, harnessing technology to support rowing activities and the ongoing development of rowing infrastructure.
A number of programs and resources have been created to ensure that the sport of rowing can continue to grow at the community level. All the useful information can be found below.
Club Administration
Rowing Australia, in conjunction with its Member State and Territory Associations, is committed to working with community and grassroots rowing clubs to develop the capacity of individuals, groups and communities to deliver a vibrant, enjoyable and successful club environment. Sport Australia provides some useful information on the administration, management, policies, and organisation of volunteer associations which should be embraced by all rowing clubs.
