Club Changer is Football Australia’s Club Development Program which aims to protect and enhance our clubs, make them stronger and more resilient, lead them in building welcoming and inclusive cultures, and educate them on positive environments for players, coaches, volunteers, and officials while planning for long term viability and success.
The priority focus of Club Changer in northern NSW remains firmly on increasing female participation through the increased interest in the community created by the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup and the ongoing success of the Matildas ahead of the 2024 Olympic Games.
Club Changer accredited clubs are leading the charge with unprecedented connection to programs and services targeting female participation. Summer Football, MiniTillies kick off programs, Kick-on for Women and Female Leadership programs are providing the opportunities for clubs to invest in their club’s future.
OBJECTIVES
To LEAD community clubs in identifying key priority areas for improvement, spark action for positive change and invest in long term sustainable practices for future success.
To EMPOWER community clubs to strategically plan to increase capacity and participation growth, through education, resources, and transfer of knowledge.
To SUPPORT community clubs in creating inclusive and welcoming environments for women and girls in all aspects of the game.
To acknowledge and CELEBRATE clubs who are investing in the development and future of their football community.
As clubs progress through the criteria, they will be awarded 1, 2, or 3 stars. For each star award, benefits and incentives will be unlocked for the club to utilise and further progress their capacity and capability.
Clubs are encouraged to complete the modules in accordance with the reward and recognition framework.
