Sport has the power to set new benchmarks and drive positive social change; one being equal representation in sport.
Through striving to achieve gender equity in sport it sets an important tone for the wider Australian public. It also opens doors for the next generation, shakes up unconscious bias and helps advocate for respectful behaviour towards women.
To help achieve this Sport Australia established the Women Leaders in Sport (WLIS) program which to date has supported more than 26,000 women and more than 800 sport organisations.
Sport Australia manages the WLIS program through the support of the Office for Women who have a vested interest in this space.
