Applying to become a Registered Club

To apply to become a Registered Club, you will need to complete the Caulfield Registered Club Application Form or in hard copy above the Club pigeon holes behind the MONSU Level 2 Service Desk and then return it to the MONSU Caulfield Service Desk, Level 2, S Building or email to Elise.Pongrac@monsu.org.

In order to complete the form, you are required to sign up 10 Monash Caulfield students, provide key contacts and provide more information about your group. Once a completed application is submitted to the Clubs & Culture Coordinator, the MONSU Caulfield Student Council (as the primary student representative group on the campus) will then consider the application.

Will My Registered Club Be Approved?

Clubs will generally be approved unless they are viewed to be:

• Too similar to another Caulfield Registered Club, Affiliated Club, Incorporated Club or Guest Club.
• Set up for commercial gain
• Not in the interests of or benefiting the Monash Caulfield student population
• Not in the interests of Monash University

What Happens Next?

The organisers listed on the application will be contacted once Student Council has considered the application. If your application is approved, the helpful Clubs and Societies team will meet with you to discuss ways of assisting your group to achieve its goals as well as helping your group to access the following resources:

• Club notice board space
• MONSU and University meeting rooms (conditions apply)
• MONSU publications and website
• Club trestle table and chairs
• Staff advice and assistance
• Training workshops

Requirements of Registered Clubs

Registered Clubs must abide by the Clubs and Societies poster policy (available online (hyperlink) or at the MONSU Level 2 Service Desk). If your application to form a Registered Group has been successful, you will be provided with a Clubs Admin Handbook.

Registered Clubs must conduct themselves in an appropriate and ethical manner for the good of their members and not for the financial benefit of members or organisers. The group must at all times uphold the good reputation of MONSU Caulfield and Monash University.

Registered Clubs will be required to submit a report of their activities, finances and membership numbers annually. At the end of the twelve months a registered group can either apply to remain a registered group (if that works for them) or submit an application to become an Affiliated Club.
