SportWest is proud to support the Department of Communities and the 16 Days in WA campaign.

As a sector that reaches communities in every corner of Western Australia, sport has a powerful role to play in promoting respect, inclusion and positive relationships. We are committed to using the influence of sport to help raise awareness of family and domestic violence, challenge harmful behaviours and foster environments where everyone feels safe, valued and supported.

Together, we can create stronger, safer and more connected communities.

For 10 years, 16 Days in WA has brought Western Australians together to take a stand on violence against women and family and domestic violence.

From 25 November to 10 December, we’re asking you to join us again. Whether it’s checking in on a friend, learning the warning signs or calling out disrespect, every action matters.

Walking together for reconciliation 💛🖤❤️

Today, SportWest staff joined members from Volleyball WA , , and for Reconciliation WA’s Walk for Reconciliation at Kaarta Koomba (Kings Park).

Coming together as members of the WA sporting community was an opportunity to show our shared commitment to reconciliation, reflect on the importance of connection and continue learning about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures and perspectives.

Sport has a unique ability to bring people together, build understanding and create a sense of belonging. As a sector, we have a responsibility to help create sporting environments that are culturally safe, inclusive and respectful for everyone.

Reconciliation is an ongoing journey that requires us all to listen, learn and take meaningful action - not just today, but every day.

Thank you to Reconciliation WA for bringing the community together and creating space for connection, reflection and learning.

Together, let's keep walking forward.

GAME ON, GIRLS GRANTS ARE BACK! 🏐⚽️🏀

More funding to help keep young girls playing sport!

Following the success of the first round, we’re delivering another $1.1 million through our Game on, Girls program to help more teenage girls stay involved in community sport.

With girls’ participation in sport dropping significantly during their teenage years, we want to make sure more girls have the opportunity to stay active, build confidence and enjoy being part of a team.

Local sporting clubs across WA can apply for grants of up to $5,000 to deliver initiatives that attract and retain girls aged 13 to 17.

The first round supported 197 clubs across WA, and we’re looking forward to seeing even more clubs get involved!

Applications are open now.

🏐 The True Sport team was proud to attend the 2026 Netball WA Leadership Forum on Saturday, 17 October 2026.

We connected with more than 100 netball leaders, volunteers and administrators from across metropolitan, regional and remote Western Australia, sharing information, education and resources available through True Sport and Best On Road.

From safeguarding and integrity to mental health and wellbeing, respectful relationships, dispute resolution and road safety, it was fantastic to engage directly with representatives from metropolitan, regional and remote associations and discuss practical ways to support safer, stronger and more inclusive sporting communities.

Thank you to Netball WA for the opportunity to be involved and to everyone who stopped by our activation throughout the day.

🏐 Together, we're helping create environments where all participants feel safe, respected, supported and valued.

What an incredible day at the 2026 WA Sport Industry Conference.

Together, we explored this year's theme, Beyond Sport: Where health, community and economy connect, hearing from an outstanding lineup of speakers who challenged our thinking, shared new perspectives and reinforced the vital role sport plays in shaping healthier, stronger and more prosperous communities.

One message that resonated throughout the day came from Natalie Cook OAM OLY:

"It all starts with one dream."

Whether that dream is to participate, lead, innovate, connect communities or create lasting change, sport has the power to turn possibility into reality.

A huge thank you to our speakers, panellists, moderators, exhibitors and attendees for contributing to such an engaging, thought-provoking and inspiring day.

We are also proud acknowledge our partnership with WA Government, through the Department of Creative Industries, Tourism and Sport for its ongoing support of the Western Australian sport sector and of the 2026 WA Sport Industry Conference. We also thank the of Energy and Economic Diversification and Invest and Trade Western Australia for their valued partnership in supporting this year's conference.

Most importantly, thank you to everyone who joined us and brought such energy, curiosity and passion to the conversations. The conference may be over, but the ideas, connections and momentum created throughout the day will continue to shape the future of sport and recreation in Western Australia.
