Participation and Inclusion

Female Participation Program

A practical plan, strategy and support pathway to encourage, develop and grow female participation and contribution across every level of your club.

Strategic planning often reveals opportunities to strengthen female participation across a club or association. The Female Participation Program helps established clubs with a genuine desire to grow their female participation footprint turn that ambition into an informed, achievable strategy.

The program is not based around quotas and is not intended to diminish an organisation's traditional activities. It brings together the club's existing strengths and the opportunities created by a broader, more diverse and engaged club community.

Three foundations for sustainable growth

Successful change requires genuine commitment from club leaders and a willingness to keep working through challenges.

Desire

Is there an underlying desire to develop and grow female participation at the club?

Prepared to Invest

Is the club prepared to invest physically, financially and emotionally in developing its culture and inclusion?

Resilience

Does the club understand that sustainable success requires persistence, even when progress is difficult?

A three-phase program

Club Builder works with your club from member insight and planning through to strategy, implementation and advocacy.

1

Female Participation Plan

We implement the Community Sports Insights Survey to understand the thoughts and aspirations of club members. Results are presented in a briefing session with a high-level plan outlining where the club sits today, the program's key objectives and the areas of focus required for success.

Indicative timeframe4 weeks
2

Female Participation Strategy

We run a focused workshop and education session with key club stakeholders to identify the projects and initiatives needed to bring the plan to life. The final strategy prioritises agreed actions for short-, medium- and longer-term implementation.

Implementation Support and Advocacy

Once the strategy is finalised, we provide ongoing implementation support and mentoring, together with advocacy support involving key political stakeholders such as council officers, councillors and state and federal MPs.
