Applications have opened for the Change Our Game Community Activation Grants Program, seeking to encourage more women and girls in Werribee to get involved in community sport and recreation.

Werribee MP Tim Pallas the program is important to many people.

“I encourage eligible clubs and organisations across Werribee to consider applying for grants, and I look forward to seeing them taking positive action to make community sport accessible and inclusive for more women and girls in our local community,” Mr Pallas said.

“Sport and recreation organisations are a big part of our local community, bringing us together, and driving positive change.”

Offered through the Office for Women in Sport and Recreation, the grants help local sport clubs and eligible organisations run initiatives that promote participation by women and girls.

“The Office for Women and Sport and Recreation is ensuring more women and girls can access, participate in and enjoy community sport and recreation whether it’s on the field, volunteering or umpiring,” Office for Women in Sport and Recreation head Sarah Styles said.

“Community sport and recreation brings people together and fosters respect and inclusiveness, and with the Fair Access Policy Roadmap, will be the frontier of advancing equality in sport in the coming years.”
