Purpose & Vision

TO ACHIEVE EQUITY FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS IN SPORT, UNTIL WE REACH A POINT WHERE THIS IS A GIVEN RATHER THAN A GOAL.

Women Sport Australia’s vision is to influence systemic and cultural change in Australian sport through advocacy, amplification and affirmative action. 

Our strategic objectives are equitable access, visibility and fair treatment at all levels and aspects of sport.

The tactics Women Sport Australia utilise to achieve this vision are;

ADVOCACY, ROUND TABLES & RESEARCH

• We are connected and engage with the decision-makers to help influence change.
• We bring together different perspectives and influential stakeholders to discuss various topics relevant to women in sport and produce tangible insights, frameworks and reports.
• We engage in partnerships to develop research that can then be put into practice towards our purpose.

PROGRAMS & EVENTS

• Our Women In Sport Photo Action Awards (WISPAA) & Women In Sport Brunch provide an opportunity for recognition, networking and profiling
• The Sports Bra Project (TSBP) increases access to sports for women and girls by removing barriers to participation through the supply of sports bras.

PROFILE & VOICE

• Utilising our peak body status to make comment on key issues relating to women & girls as discussed by media & through invitation by the government. 
• Evoking change through providing a platform for individuals and organisations to pledge their commitment to gender equity in sport.
