We are pleased to share news of our collaboration with Cardinia Council and the value we're providing for women and girls in their local area.
Cardinia Council has implemented some terrific initiatives already, including the Women and Girls in Sport and Participation Network, which invites local stakeholders to meet, network, and share experiences.
Mel Pratt is the driving force behind the Women and Girls in Sport and Participation Network. This network invites key stakeholders from their LGA to gather, upskill, and network. The Women and Girls in Sport and Participation Network empowers its members to have a voice and advocate for positive change in inclusion, policy, research, activation, and gender equality.
This network is particularly helpful for all parties now that the Fair Access Policy is mandatory, and Victorian councils must have gender-equitable access and use policies in place to qualify for infrastructure funding. It enables clubs and stakeholders to come together and explore how they are implementing the roadmap and how they can learn from each other.
In a powerful collaboration, Cardinia Council has teamed up with Play Like a Girl Australia to extend the opportunities available to members of the network by providing them with a membership to the Play Like a Girl Australia community. This nationwide community is the first of its kind and offers women and girls from all sports a place to learn, grow, and thrive. Key benefits include:
Here is some feedback from a recent participant:"I am just emailing you to say that I am absolutely loving the PLAG membership. My friend has the full membership and has weekly huddles in which she has greatly benefited from, and I believe I will too."
This collaboration exemplifies how local governments can effectively work with organisations like Play Like a Girl to create significant community impact.
Play Like a Girl Australia invites other councils to follow this model, leveraging our resources, expertise, and community engagement strategies to create a more inclusive and equitable future for all.
By continuing to work together, we can shape our future and change the game for women and girls in sport. At Play Like a Girl, we are dedicated to creating opportunities and environments where women and girls can thrive in sport and leadership.
Our recent collaboration with Cardinia Council is a shining example of how we work with local government to deliver value to their communities. This partnership is something we encourage other councils to consider implementing in their communities.
Stay tuned for more updates on our initiatives and the success stories of our collaboration with Cardinia Council. We look forward to sharing these exciting developments with our community.
