GolfWA Participation Officer (Schools, Women & Girls)

Golf in Australia is growing – and so are we.

At Golf Australia, our purpose is simple: more people playing more golf.

We believe that all golf is golf, and all of us can be golfers. Whether you're swinging a club at a driving range, playing nine holes with friends, putting at mini golf with family, or dreaming of the Australian Open. We’re here to make sure golf is fun, welcoming, and accessible for all; and that starts with how we show up as a team.

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 key industry partners like the PGA of Australia and the WPGA Tour of Australasia to support player pathways, from local clubs through to elite competition. We champion places to play, events at every level, and a high-performance program that helps emerging talent thrive.

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

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 safe, 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.
