The Queensland Government recently announced a new initiative, the Active Women and Girls program.

The program, which opens for applications on Monday 20 November, is dedicated to encouraging greater participation across all facets of sport and active recreation, from playing to coaching and volunteering to umpiring and team management. Funding can be used across a range of focus areas, such as volunteer training, resources, equipment or creating more participation opportunities for women and girls within clubs, communities and organisations.

How could your club invest $7,500 to boost female participation opportunities? Coaching and officiating accreditation courses? Delivery of talent identification or testing programs to support pathways?
