Join us as we host a Fair Access Summit that explores the Fair Access Policy implementation 6+ months on and next steps in your Councils journey.
Thanks to the Victorian Government’s Office for Women in Sport and Recreation, Parks and Leisure Australia were successful in obtaining a 2023-24 Change Our Game Community Activations Grants Program.
Our aim is to bring together leaders in local government to share and learn from success stories in gender equity and provide educational support to inform Councils next steps in implementing Fair Access Policies within their communities.
We have partnered with a wide range of Councils, Universities, and sector partners to bring you a unique mix of story sharing, education and networking. Check out the schedule overview below!
