UniSport Australia has made the decision to reschedule the 2020 UniSport Nationals Div1 and Div2, which were due to be hosted in Perth from 26 September to 2 October. The decision to reschedule the event was made in light of the current travel and gathering restrictions in place to stop the spread of COVID-19 and to protect the health and wellbeing of the community. However, opportunities still exist to represent Team UWA in 2020! Read on below to find out more.

Nationals provides the opportunity for students from more than 40 universities from across Australia to compete head-to-head in a number of sporting competitions. In 2020, the Nationals will return to Perth for the first time since 2016.

Team UWA became the first university outside the big 3 (the University of Sydney, the University of Melbourne, and Monash University) to win the Overall Title since 1994, when we clinched the title on our home turf in Perth at the 2010 games. UWA were crowned overall champions once again when the competition returned to Perth in 2016.
