The Office for Women in Sport and Recreation is thrilled to present the Fair Access Community of Practice.

Delivered by the Regional Sports Assemblies and Regional Sport Victoria, the Fair Access Community of Practice aims to support councils in regional Victoria to develop and implement their gender equitable access and use policies, as part of the Fair Access Policy Roadmap. The Community of Practice will focus on navigating challenges that come with gender equality change management and will provide the opportunity for councils to collaborate and share knowledge. Those leading and supporting the development of their council's gender equitable access and use policies are encouraged to attend.

This Community of Practice is for regional councils only. Metropolitan councils can register for their Community of Practice at: Metropolitan Fair Access Community of Practice.

These Community of Practices will be held online. The relevant Regional Sports Assemblies will provide the meeting invite to those who register prior to the meeting.
