Working to achieve equity in all aspects of sport is the purpose of Women Sport Australia (WSA) all year round.
International Women’s Day on March 8 brings a point of focus to talk about the progress that has been made and the work that it is still to be done.
WSA’s flagship programs and events listed below all work to advocate for and promote equity.
We encourage you to become a member or sign our Gender Equity in Sport pledge and we look forward to having you involved in our game changing work.

Our flagship annual event will be held in Melbourne in 2023 around International Day of the Girl in October bringing everyone together to celebrate all that has been achieved and hear from those leading the charge to achieve equity in all aspects of sport.
