Project Background
From 1 July 2024, all Victorian councils will need to have community sport gender equitable access and use policies in place to be considered eligible to receive sport and recreation infrastructure funding. These policies will ensure that women and girls can fully participate in and enjoy the benefits of community sport, with fair opportunity and access to their local facilities. You can read more about the research behind this at Change Our Game
