CMASA 2026 Operations Survey

Dear Members,

We invite your Club to participate in the 2026 CMASA Club Operations Survey.

The information generated from this survey is of vital importance to the Club Industry, enabling managers and committees to benchmark and gain further insight into Club operations.

This survey investigates a number of important operating functions across a club environment and additionally collects relevant club profile data. Be assured that all information collected will be aggregated and no individual club data will be published.

Finalised results will be presented within a report and will be emailed to participating clubs.

The survey should take around 30 minutes to complete once relevant data has been collated. To assist, we strongly encourage you to view the PDF version of the survey in advance of completing the online version, collecting the required information prior to survey response.
