Sport for Women :: What's Happening
Despite the fact that as many women are participating in sport in Australia as men, it remains clear that inequalities exist between the sexes when it comes to sport. Coverage of women’s sport in the media is still dwarfed by that of men’s sport, and without significant investment this situation is unlikely to change.
We're committed to bringing together high-profile politicians, leading administrators, elite female athletes and the wider sporting community to discuss some of the issues that women in the sporting arena have to face.Video
Women's Hour
Women's Hour has two component parts:
- Every March a mass exerciese event for women will take place in every state capital aiming to promote active and healthy lifestyles for all women.
- Throughout the year you can keep active with our corporate sporting responsibility programme
Creating Sustainable Support
- Get active with an hour's exercise. Whether it's a walk in the park or a free aerobics class, decide upon your favourite charity, make a contribution and tell your story. Ask your empoyer to match the contribution and we will profile your story.
- OR if you can't afford a donation think up a great idea to help those less fortunate. We will help persuade your employer to match your commitment and make somebody's dreams come true.
- Women's Hour - A time to talk, act, help and work.
- Activate your women's hour now and raise the profile of women everywhere.
