Six Clubs Complete the Women and Girls Charter

We are pleased to announce we currently have six clubs apart of the Women & Girls Charter. A big congratulations to Brunswick, Fitzroy, Heidelberg, Kew Rovers, Macleod, Surrey Park and the YJFL Umpires who have all successfully completed the Women & Girls Charter.

The Women & Girls Charter is a commitment from Community Football Leagues, Clubs & Umpire Groups to work towards making Community Football environments welcoming, safe and inclusive for Women & Girls.

The charter sets out the expectation that Clubs will champion Women and Girls guided by four principles:

• Opportunity

• Visibility

• Access

• Investment

Once chartered clubs will receive:

• Correspondence on all upcoming women and girls’ initiatives, grants and opportunities

• Favourable consideration when assessing applications for AFL based funding initiatives that relate to women and girls

• The ability for your club to be searched via Club Finders under the Women & Girls Charter to support recruitment

• A suite of digital assets for your club website, social media and advertising – recognition

• A Women & Girls Community Football Charter poster that can be publicly displayed acknowledging the clubs commitment

• A guided process to provide evidence in line with possible Fair Access requirements from LGA’s
