Australian club software, made for Australian clubs
ClubHelix is built in Australia for the way Australian clubs actually run — sign-on days, canteen rosters, pennant ladders, sausage sizzles and all. Your data stays onshore in Sydney, and every plan starts free.
Free plan to start · The demo is a real, fully populated club site
Made and hosted in Australia
Australian-owned, with primary infrastructure in Sydney and practices aligned to the Privacy Act and Australian Privacy Principles.
AU club vernacular built in
Ladders (not standings), pennants, sign-on days, canteen rosters, working-with-children accreditation tracking — the platform speaks Australian club.
AUD pricing, GST-aware
Transparent pricing in Australian dollars, and a tax engine that handles GST on fees, tickets and merchandise.
Most club software used in Australia is run from overseas, priced in foreign currency, and built around another country’s sports. ClubHelix is the other way around: an Australian club website builder and club management platform designed for the clubs that run on volunteers — from junior soccer and netball through to bowls, surf life saving and the local Rotary branch.
Everything a committee needs lives in one place: a public website in your colours on your own domain, online registration and membership payments, fixtures and ladders, events with tickets, a club shop, email and SMS to members, plus the governance tools — meeting minutes, incident reports, accreditation registers — that keep an incorporated association tidy.
Because it is one platform rather than five, handover stops being a crisis. When the committee changes at the AGM, the new secretary inherits working systems and role-based access — not a folder of passwords and a website nobody can edit.
If your association or state body mandates a registration or competition platform, ClubHelix works alongside it: keep the mandated comp system, and run your own website, communications, shop, events and everything else here.
You can see the whole thing working right now — the live demo club is a real, fully populated site you can click through before you sign up. When you are ready, start free: pick a template, put your club’s colours on it, and you are online this afternoon.
Sound familiar?
The jobs that eat volunteer evenings — and what happens to them on ClubHelix.
The website nobody can update
The club site was built years ago by a parent who has since moved on. Now the season dates are wrong, the committee page lists people who left in 2023, and nobody has the login.
Sign-on day runs on paper and chasing
Registration lives in a spreadsheet, payments arrive by bank transfer with cryptic references, and the registrar spends February matching deposits to names one text message at a time.
Five tools, one exhausted volunteer
A form builder here, a newsletter app there, a shared drive of minutes, a social page for news and a group chat for everything else — and only one person knows how any of it fits together.
One platform, one login, one handover. See everything that's included.
What clubs in Australia run on ClubHelix
A few of the tools volunteer committees lean on most — every one has its own detailed page, and there are many more on the features page.
Online registration & memberships
Sign-on day without the queue: registration forms take payment, feed the member database and set paid-until automatically — renewals chase themselves.
Learn more →Fixtures, results & ladders
Publish the draw once. Results entered after the game update the ladder on your public site automatically — pennants, grades and finals included.
Learn more →Events & ticketing
Presentation nights, trivia nights, come-and-try days — sell tickets online, track RSVPs and check people in at the door.
Learn more →Club shop
Sell playing kit, hoodies and supporter merch from your own site, with GST handled on every order.
Learn more →Email & SMS that reach members
Newsletters and urgent wet-weather messages sent from the same member database — no export-to-mailing-app round trip.
Learn more →Accreditation tracking
Working-with-children checks, coaching tickets and first-aid certificates in one register, with expiry reminders before they lapse.

Frequently asked questions
- Is our club data really hosted in Australia?
- Yes — primary infrastructure runs in the Sydney region, with encrypted backups kept in-region. See the Security page for the full picture, including sub-processors.
- Does ClubHelix handle GST on club fees and merchandise?
- Yes. Per-organisation tax settings support inclusive or exclusive GST on registrations, tickets and shop orders, with the breakdown snapshotted on every order.
- We’re a small volunteer club — is this overkill?
- No — start free with the website and members basics, and turn on more (shop, competitions, facility booking) only when your club needs it.
- Can we use our own domain name?
- Yes — connect a custom domain (yourclub.com.au) on paid plans, or use your free clubhelix.com address. Either way the site is fully search-indexable.
- How long does it take to get a club website online?
- Most clubs are online in an afternoon: pick a template, add your colours and logo through the guided setup, and publish. Registration, events and the shop can be switched on afterwards, one module at a time.
- What happens when the committee changes over?
- Access is role-based, not password-based — outgoing officers are removed, incoming ones invited, and everything (member records, minutes, finances, the website) stays exactly where it was. The audit log records who changed what.
- Do members need to download anything?
- No download required — the club site works in any browser, and members who want the app experience can install it to their home screen in two taps, with push notifications and a digital membership card. There is no app store in between.
