National University Caving Club (NUCC) is a sports club based in Canberra, Australia, dedicated to exploring and promoting the sport of caving. NUCC is affiliated with the Australian Speleological Federation (ASF), the national governing body for caving in Australia.
The club's primary focus is on the conservation and preservation of caves.

The club actively participates in cave conservation projects, working alongside other clubs and organisations to protect and manage cave ecosystems.
NUCC provides a platform for caving enthusiasts to come together and share their passion for exploring caves. The club offers regular caving trips and expeditions to various caves in the region, providing members with the opportunity to discover new underground landscapes and challenge themselves physically and mentally. These trips are led by experienced cave leaders who prioritise safety and provide guidance to ensure an enjoyable and secure caving experience for all participants.
Membership in NUCC is open to both students and non-students of the National University. The club welcomes individuals of all skill levels, from beginners to experienced cavers. Members have access to a wide range of resources, including training and workshops to learn basic caving techniques, equipment rental facilities, and a network of fellow cavers who are always ready to offer guidance and support.
NUCC also aims to educate the public about the wonders of caves and the importance of cave conservation. The club regularly publishes articles and organises educational programmes and events to raise awareness about cave ecosystems, their delicate balance, and the threats they face. NUCC actively engages with the community, promoting responsible cave exploration and encouraging individuals to become involved in cave conservation efforts.
