Guidelines

About VicHealth VicHealth is a pioneer in health promotion with a focus on promoting good health and preventing chronic disease.

One of our strategic imperatives is to encourage regular physical activity.

To get more Victorians physically active, VicHealth focuses on making physical activity participation part of everyday living, through active recreation and sport.

Encouraging regular physical activity through sportRegular physical activity has health, social and economic benefits and is ranked second only to tobacco control as the most important factor in promoting good health and preventing chronic disease in Australia. Yet less than a third of Australians are getting enough physical activity to benefit their health1, with lifestyles becoming increasingly sedentary.

Why is VicHealth focusing on female participation in sport? At VicHealth we know that not enough females are sufficiently physically active2 and participation levels decline as females get older.3 From a health perspective, that’s not good news!

In Victoria, statistics show four times as many females (44%) are choosing to participate in non-organised or more flexible physical activity offerings compared to organised physical activity (9%). 4 Of this organised participation, female participation through sporting or recreational clubs is lower compared to males.5 VicHealth is keen to tap into this trend and work with sport to provide opportunities that engage females who don’t currently participate in the traditional offerings sport has provided through clubs and competitions.

It’s not just lower participation that is an issue. It’s known that women’s sport receives much less media coverage than male sport, with only nine per cent of television news media coverage devoted to it. 6 VicHealth wants to see female sport become more prominent in the public eye with an increased profile of female sport through the media and online communications space. We want more Victorians knowing that female sport matters and we want to inspire more females to get active through sport, throughout their life.

Over a third of Australian adult females have been sports spectators at events in the past year 7, which demonstrates that many women are passionate about sport. Not only are sports events a great place to get health messages to females but there’s also a great opportunity to get more females off the sidelines and actively participating as well.

That’s a lot of good reasons why VicHealth wants to work with sports to get more female Victorians regularly active through sport.

If you want to know more click here.

What’s the Increasing Female Participation in Sport Initiative?The Increasing Female Participation in Sport Initiative is a new VicHealth investment aimed at driving innovative approaches through sport to increase female participation and engagement in sport and physical activity. To achieve this we want to partner with a small number of State Sporting Associations (SSAs)/Disability State Sporting Bodies (DSSBs) over a two year period (2015 to 2017).

Our objectives – VicHealth is thinking big! 1. Our focus is on getting tens of thousands of Victorian females

who are inactive and somewhat active to become active more regularly through sport.

2. VicHealth wants to raise the profile of female sport and be a champion for female sport and health on a large scale. We also want to reach more than a hundred thousand females in Victoria and beyond.

If you want to work with us to get more female Victorians active through your sport, have the skills, tools, know-how, similar vision and a great proposal, we want to hear from your sport.

If you’re interested, keep reading for more detail on what we need from you.

How much funding is available?A share of up to $1.2M in funding is available over 2015 to 2017* for SSAs/DSSBs under this initiative. You’ll need to provide a detailed budget as part of your application as to how much investment you need from VicHealth to achieve female participation and reach outcomes.

*Funds will be distributed over three financial years

Did you know?More than two thirds of Australian female adults were classified as being sedentary or having low levels of exercise. Levels are 38% sedentary, 35% low, 19% moderate and 8% high.1

Page 3: Changing the Game: Increasing Female Sport Initiative ......02 Increasing Female Participation in Sport Initiative Guidelines Guidelines About VicHealth VicHealth is a pioneer in health

03 Increasing Female Participation in Sport Initiative Guidelines

Who can apply?Only Victorian SSAs* and DSSBs** are eligible to submit applications.

* SSAs must be recognised by Sport and Recreation Victoria (SRV).

** DSSBs must also be recognised by SRV.

Who is not eligible to apply?• SSAs where the head is a deliberate target within the rules

of the sport are not eligible to apply. • All other organisations that are not recognised as SSAs or

DSSBs by SRV.

The selection criteriaYour application must address each of the selection criterion even if your SSA/DSSB is stronger in one or more, but not necessarily all of the criteria.

Below is what VicHealth is looking for in your applications.

1. Participation – getting more females activeVicHealth is aspiring to get more females more regularly active through sport. We’ll be most impressed by how you demonstrate you can get those females who are inactive and somewhat active more active through your sport. The more females you can get regularly physically active the more impressed we’ll be.

Growing participation can focus on providing offerings that address current barriers to participation or creating new and innovative solutions to unmet needs. We believe there are lots of ways to participate in sport, so you should consider flexible, social and less organised participation opportunities alongside your sports current offerings. We’re interested in approaches that are innovative and have the power to really motivate and engage females to get out and active. They may be new ideas or they may extend and build on your sport’s current offerings. Consider providing a range of fun ways to get active through your sport.

VicHealth recognises that each sport is different with varying pathways for participants from grassroots to elite and different ways sport is delivered – whether it is through clubs, programs, events and other unique offerings. We’ll take notice if you can show us that your SSA/DSSB can offer a range of ways to engage more female Victorians, across the whole of your sport.

Whilst your proposal may involve a brand spanking new initiative we want to see how it connects and integrates into your sport in a meaningful way and builds participation not just now but into the future.

VicHealth cares about ensuring that everyone has an equal chance to get active so think about how your initiative will be inclusive and accessible to enable all females to participate.

VicHealth feels passionate about building evidence and sharing it across the sports sector in order to make Victoria the healthiest state. So, we’ll need your sport to be measuring the impacts of your work as a big part of what you do. That means measuring participation, tracking your success and sharing your learnings with us, and the sector, along the way.

2. Promotional opportunities – raising the profile of female’s sport and delivering VicHealth messages

VicHealth is passionate about raising the profile of female sport. We want to see and hear more about female sport in the media, online, at events and in day-to-day public conversation. We’ll be impressed if you can show us how you can work with us to achieve this not just in Victoria but beyond.

Communicating important health messages and promoting VicHealth and our work to females across Victoria is an important part of this initiative. Demonstrating that your sport is savvy in the communications and media space and knows how to maximise your channels to reach as many females as possible will be a big plus. VicHealth wants to know what promotional opportunities your sport can offer including the specific benefits you’ll offer us through this partnership.

3. SSA/DSSB attributes – what your sport offersVicHealth wants to work with SSAs/DSSBs that are committed and have capacity to get more females active and reach thousands of Victorians through their communications.

We also know that connecting and collaborating with partners is critical to success. We’re interested in who needs to be at your side at a local and national level within and outside your sport to make your initiative succeed.

4. Legacy – beyond VicHealth fundingVicHealth is not after a short-term fix that doesn’t last! We want to see that getting females regularly active becomes a central and ongoing part of your sport’s business. We’ll be impressed with approaches that significantly increase participation now and can be self-sustainable into the future.

VicHealth can give your sport an initial boost to help you get started, but you will need to show us your SSA/DSSB has a clear plan of how your initiative can stand on its own two feet beyond the VicHealth funding.
