Let’s change
the game for
women’s sports

We’re an Australia-wide inclusive community of professionals in sport who want to work together to take women’s sports to new heights.

We’re not here just to talk. We’re here to inspire each other, to build together, to put joint projects in motion.

No more polite nodding at Zoom panel discussions. Real events, in real life, to make real progress. By coming together, we want to find common ground, shared ambition and maybe just a spark or two that can set something off.

If you’re on the marketing side of a sports team, pushing things forward at a sporting organisation, on the sponsorship side, or even an athlete who’s passionate about amplifying women’s sports – join the club.

About Us

On one sunny day in Bondi, Gaby Hay and Dulcie Davies – both relatively new to Australia having moved from the UK – met for a coffee and bonded over their shared passion in women’s sport.  In search of a like-minded wider community, the Women’s Sport Social Club was born. Our vision is to create events across Australia that bring influential women together to connect, collaborate, inspire and amplify.

Our group of founding members became an advisory group to help steer the Women’s Sport Social Club in the right direction of change.

Events

Join us at one of our events and become a part of the community! 

From smaller and more intimate settings to our flagship events, we run a variety of networking opportunities and are always open to suggestions and collaborations.

We recognise the role that men can play in equity conversations, which is why some of our events are open to all genders. However, to provide the women in our community a safe space, many of the smaller events are women only.
