Elite Athlete Friendly UniversityBond University is a member of the Australian Sport Commission's Elite Athlete Friendly University Agreement (EAFUA), which provides guidelines for flexible study loads and requirements. The intensive three-semester year that Bond offers can create an added strain on students trying to balance sport and academia, for those who are training in their respective sporting disciplines at an elite level. Bond University will support elite athletes in the balanced pursuit of their academic and sporting goals at Bond University by introducing more flexible academic regulations for students-athletes of an elite level.

- State Institutes or Academic of Sport
- AFL Players' Association
- Australian Cricketer's Association
- Rugby Union Players' Association
- Rugby League Professionals' Association
- Australian Professional Footballers' Association
- National squad and league members from Australian Sports Commission (ASC) supported sports
