Wednesday, 18 April, 2018 COMMUNITY SPORT AT THE HEART OF GENDER EQUALITY The Andrews Labor Government continues to lead the charge in levelling the playing field for women and girls in sport. Speaking at the inaugural Change Our Game Networking Forum today, Minister for Sport John Eren announced $100,000 to deliver a new program to further improve opportunities for women and girls in sport and recreation. The Change Our Game Community Activations Grant program will support initiatives that bring communities together to promote and boost gender equality through sport. Grants of up to $5,000 will be available to clubs and community groups across Victoria, providing an opportunity for more women and girls at the grassroots level to achieve their full potential, on and off the field. ‘You can’t be what you can’t see’ was the underlying theme of the Change Our Game Networking Lunch, which brought 300 emerging leaders together, including twelve high profile ambassadors of the campaign. This program adds to existing Change Our Game grants including $380,000 already committed to the Change Our Game Leadership Scholarships and the Change Our Game Champions program. The Labor Government recently announced the biggest investment in community sport in Victoria’s history – with well over $100 million in the Victorian Budget 2018/19 to improve facilities and access for women. This includes a further $15 million for the Female Friendly Facilities Fund, which has increased funding available to clubs from $100,000 to $500,000. The Budget invests $64.6 million to upgrade the State Netball and Hockey Centre, $20 million to redevelop Ikon Park into the home of women’s football, as well as upgrades for AFLW at Moorabbin Oval, Casey Fields, Whitten Oval and Victoria Park. There is also $12 million to build a Rugby League Centre of Excellence in Broadmeadows, paving the way for a Melbourne Storm women’s team. And for those who love the world game, we’ve invested $10 million to build the Melbourne Victory Football Academy in Footscray Park, providing a home for the Victory W-League side and juniors. Change Our Game Community Activation Grants will open in the coming days. For more information visit sport.vic.gov.au. Quote attributable to Minister for Sport John Eren “We know how important community sport is in shaping our society and instilling the right values – and these grants will help local clubs to do their part in improving gender equality at the grassroots level.” Quote attributable to Minister for Women Natalie Hutchins “The Change Our Game campaign shows ways we can level the playing field for women in sport on and off the field and will get more women and girls involved in sports and leadership positions.” Media contact: Kosta Pandos 0409 795 849 | [email protected] .

Age Profiles of Sport Participants- Victoria 2015 October 2016
Age Profiles of Sport Participants- Victoria 2015 October 2016 Age profiles of players of club-based sport This report provides the results of an analysis of participation in Victorian club-based sport across the lifespan. It combines data from 11 major Victorian State Sporting Associations (SSAs): Australian Football League, Basketball, Bowls, Cricket, Football, Golf, Gymnastics, Hockey, Netball, Sailing, and Tennis (Figure 1). A participant, or player, is defined as a registered member of a Victorian sporting club that is associated with one of the 11 SSAs, in 2015, who was aged between 4 and 100 years and resided in Victoria. These SSAs recorded a total of 1,048,171 player registrations in 2015. Those for which age or postcode was missing or invalid (14% of registrations. See Table 1 for more detail) were excluded from the analysis, and adjustments to counts were made in postcodes that were partly allocated to a Local Government Authority (LGA) outside Victoria (see the note on data accuracy on page 12 of this report). This report provides a summary of the 899,349 player registrations for which complete and valid data was recorded. It should be noted that, because a person could be a registered player of more than one sport, when data for multiple sports are combined the total number of registrations is greater than the number of individual players. Strictly, when we refer to counts or proportions of ‘participants’ or ‘players’ in this report, we are referring to registrations. The age profiles presented in this report are based on proportions of players, not on age-specific participation rates relative to the size of the population.

The sporting field is where friendships are formed, life skills are learned and heroes are made — and this is why in 2013–14 the Australian Government invested almost $120 million in our national sporting organisations despite a challenging economic environment. In the past year the ASC has worked with sports to reform their governance structures and develop strategic and commercial capabilities. The ASC is determined to create better businesses — ones that will thrive in the years ahead — and we are leading the way with a lean and agile operating model and ongoing commitment to our own good governance. One of the highlights of 2013–14 was the Australian Government’s announcement of the Sporting Schools program. This $100 million program, which builds upon the successful Active After-school Communities program, will commence in 2015 and reach more than 850,000 children.

Sport Participation Rates- Victoria 2016 August 2018 Rates of Participation in Club-Based Sport This report provides the results of an analysis of participation in Victorian club-based sport across the lifespan. It combines data from Victorian State Sporting Associations (SSAs) for 12 major sports: Australian Football League, Basketball, Bowls, Cricket, Football (Soccer), Golf, Gymnastics, Hockey, Netball, Sailing, Swimming, and Tennis (Figure 1). A participant, or player, is defined as a registered member of a Victorian sporting club that is affiliated with one of the 12 SSAs, in 2016, who was aged between 4 and 100 years and resided in Victoria. These SSAs recorded a total of 1,062,750 player registrations in 2016. Those for which age or postcode was missing or invalid (11.8% of registrations. See Table 1 for more detail) were excluded from the analysis, and adjustments to counts were made in postcodes that were partly allocated to a Local Government Authority (LGA) outside Victoria (see the note on data accuracy on page 19 of this report). This report provides a summary of the 937,368 player registrations for which complete and valid data was recorded. It should be noted that, because a person could be a registered player of more than one sport, when data for multiple sports are combined the total number of registrations is greater than the number of individual players. The variable tabulated and graphed, for Victoria as a whole and for each sex and/or geographical region, is the age-specific participation rate, defined as the number of player registrations in each age range, expressed as a percentage of the estimated resident population (ERP) in that age range, as at 30 June 2015 (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2016).

Despite economic constraints, Ministers have ensured that programs and services for women will operate effectively in 1991-92. Priorities for the Government continue to be policies and programs that improve women's safety and security; increase women's access to education and training; remove barriers to more equal participation by women in the workforce; meet the child-care requirements of Victorian families; and ensure that the particular health needs of women are met. In 1991 the Government introduced to Parliament amendments to the Crimes (Sexual Offences) Act to reduce the stress experienced by complainants in court cases where sexual assault is alleged, particularly complainants who are children or people with intellectual disabilities.
