Run, kick and jump at our competition-level rugby and AFL fields, located at Bond’s main campus. Fitted out with 200 lux-level lighting, our fields are supported with premium clubhouses that include change rooms, medical room facilities and a food and beverage outlet. Many local games across a variety of levels are played right here at Bond, making it a hub for sporting action.

Our pool

If swimming is your thing – whether you’re just looking to do leisurely laps, or are training hard to be the next Olympic champion – then our 50-metre swimming pool is the place to be. With eight lanes and depths from 1.2m to 3.8m, the pool is ideal for elite swimming and hosts a variety of swimmers from around the state for meets, competitions and training.

Our courts

As a tennis or squash player, you will have complete freedom to hit a ball around on one of our dedicated courts. We have five on-campus tennis courts (three hard, two synthetic grass) equipped with floodlighting for games at all hours of the day. If squash is more up your alley, there are two fully air-conditioned glass-back squash courts with fibro composite flooring attached to the Sports Centre.

Other facilities

Our sporting facilities are truly unmatched, and we are committed to providing a comprehensive sporting environment for as many students as possible – which is why you will find other facilities across a range of sports on campus. Have a fun game with friends, or practise for the big leagues, at our two beach volleyball courts. Head into the boxing circuit training room at the Sports Centre to spar and practise your left hook, or visit the golf and cricket practice nets to train and work on your swing.

The Bond Institute of Health & Sport

The Bond Institute of Health & Sport (BIHS) is Bond University’s second campus, and where all of the action happens across a range of disciplines within the Faculty of Health Sciences & Medicine, including physiotherapy, nutrition and dietetics and occupational therapy.
