Sponsorships

The Office manages the University's external and internal sponsorships.

Each year the University receives hundreds of requests to provide sponsorship.

In determining which sponsorships the University will align itself with, consideration will be given to the University’s strategic plan, which sets out the University’s goals and priorities. This document is used to assess the capacity by which the specific sponsorship will assist and underpin the overall University plan.

The University operates on a financial year that runs from January to December. Accordingly sponsorship requests must be submitted prior to September 1 in order to allow evaluation and then inclusion in submissions for funding as part of the University budget in the following year.

The Senior Executive approved guidelines can be downloaded here.

To assist you in your application, this form has been established.

Should you require any further information or clarification on the sponsorship guidelines, please contact Events and Sponsorship Manager - Sally Browne – s.browne@murdoch.edu.au
