Equal Pay for Equal Play

 

Equal Pay for Equal Play is a campaign to make sporting spaces in NSW more gender inclusive. In 2023 we successfully campaigned the NSW Government to make equal prize money a precondition for sporting peak bodies in NSW receive funding under one of their grant schemes. 

​

We’re calling for this to be made universal across all funding in NSW. 

​

We believe that to be eligible for government grants, funding and tenders, sporting organisations must have:

• equal prize money for both boys and girls, and men and women, at all levels of competition,

• equal opportunity (entry positions, space, time, training, resources) for girls and boys, and men and women to participate in events including competitions and training. This extends to administrative and management roles including coaching pathways, referees, event officials and judges, media representatives and board members.

• an actionable strategy to increase the participation, engagement and ongoing support of women and girls at all levels of competition.
