All this talk of 'the clubs' is not very helpful. The clubs are all very different. At the risk of getting flamed, here is my understanding of what the different clubs are mostly for and what their attitudes are toward leading.

RMIT Outdoors Club
For: hiring gear, binge drinking, getting laid
Learning to lead: They are cautious. Very cautious. It can take years cautious.

VCC
For: finding climbing partners, drinking tea, learning offensive jokes
Learning to lead: Straightforward, very similar to learning from your mates, only you are more likely to get taught by someone with more experience than your mates.

Melbourne Uni Mountain Club
For: stealing gear, bouldering on campus, talking about how great you are
Learning to lead: Ok. Sometimes questionable practices.

If anyone knows about Monash, Western Vic Climbing Club or Latrobe, feel free to add details.
