Our country has an incredible connection to sport. Every Australian should have the opportunity to be involved in sport – as a participant, an official, an administrator or as a volunteer.

From grassroots to the elite level, it's imperative that the sport sector increases the representation of women and girls in sport to better reflect Australian society and create a fairer and more inclusive environment.

Harnessing the full potential of women and girls in sport will create positive social and economic change, with benefits for individuals, communities, sports organisations and the broader sports industry (PricewaterhouseCoopers, 2019).
