R&A; Women in Golf Charter Lead – South Australia
Help shape a future where more women and girls see golf as a game for them – and where everyone feels they belong.
Golf in Australia is growing and evolving, and we have an exciting opportunity to help ensure that growth reflects the communities we serve.
As part of the Australian Golf Industry's BIG SWINGS ********* strategy, our BELONG ambition is clear: to create a golf community where everyone feels they belong, with a particular focus on women and families.
The R&A; Women in Golf Charter is an important part of turning that ambition into meaningful action at clubs and facilities across the country.
We're proud to be part of Australian Golf's transformation, a time of unprecedented growth,
innovation, and opportunity.
As our game evolves, so too does our workplace.
Through it all, our values shape how we show up, collaborate, and lead:
We Welcome Everyone – Inclusion is at the heart of who we are.
We're creating a workplace where people from all backgrounds feel they truly belong.
We Are Connected – We work as one team, supporting each other across clubs, communities, and partners to grow the game, and each other.
We Are Courageous – We're not afraid to do things differently.
We challenge the status quo, embrace change, and reimagine what's possible.
We Bring Our Best – Whether we're delivering a major championship or helping a local club thrive, we bring care, pride, and purpose to everything we do.
We work alongside clubs, facilities, government and industry partners across South Australia, connecting with Golf Australia teams to support women and girls' participation, strengthen leadership and governance, and help create welcoming golf environments where more people can engage and belong.
At every step, we're driven by the belief that golf is a sport for life and there's a place in it for everyone

We hope so.
Golf, like many sports, hasn't always felt like a space where everyone sees themselves, and we know that women and other underrepresented groups often hesitate to apply unless they meet every single requirement.
But at Golf Australia, we're committed to changing that.
At Golf Australia, our belief is simple: "All golf is golf, and all of us can be golfers."
That philosophy extends to our team too.
We're building an organisation where diverse voices, backgrounds and perspectives are truly welcomed and where people can bring their whole selves to the work we do.
That commitment to inclusion also means creating secure, respectful and supportive spaces.
We are dedicated to providing a safe environment for all employees and participants - including children and young people - and we expect everyone involved in delivering golf in Australia to understand their responsibilities when it comes to child safety.
So, if this role excites you, and you feel you could contribute even if you don't tick every box, we'd love to hear from you.
Let's have a conversation.
You might be just what we're looking for.
