State sporting organisations provide the policies, training and development, and resources to support community clubs and associations in engaging women and girls in coaching roles.

  • Improve the inclusion of women and girls as community coaches
  • Ensure women coaches have a voice with state sporting organisations.
  • Ensure greater inclusion of women in coaching, which may require special pathways or assistance (such as subsidised costs) for women coaches.
  • Ensure equality in state sporting organisations’ media and publicity, including representation of women coaches.

Have policies, practices and resources to support women coaches in community clubs.

  • Implement gender equity policies for coaching that have clearly stated goals for achieving gender equity in the state sport organisation, develop plans for achieving these goals, and monitor progress.
  • Develop and share best practices and policies around culture and support for a safer coaching environment.
  • Define and reinforce the term coach as non-gendered, through generational and cultural change, so that people making coach appointments are focused on ability rather than gender
