Gender Equity Audit and Action Plan

Our team will then attend a committee meeting and facilitate a broader club workshop on the actions identified during the Audit process.

Youth Specific Support

Utilising the GippSport Gippsland Game Plan – a resource used to create safe and welcoming environment for youth girls – our team will deliver training for your club, informed by consultation with your players.

Showcasing events

You can’t be what you can’t see, so showcasing women and girls through formal events, launches or Come and Try Events are a great way to grow participation. Often club volunteers need event expertise and additional resources to bring these events to life and our team have experience at doing just that.

Women & Girls Participation programs

Our team can support local clubs to design a development or introductory program targeted at women and girls. There many factors to consider, such as time, place and deliverer, which we can workshop with club representatives and potential program partners to ensure a successful outcome.
