Women Leaders in Sport (WLIS) – Individual Grants

Grant Description

The 2026 Women Leaders in Sport (WLIS) Individual Grants are an Australian Government initiative managed by the Australian Sports Commission to strengthen the pipeline of experienced women leaders across the sport ecosystem. The program provides tiered support of up to $10,000 per individual (within a total pool of $200,000, excl. GST) for women involved in Australian sport—from volunteers to senior executives and board members—to accelerate their leadership journey. It focuses on professional development and specialist training aligned to leadership, administration, coaching/officiating, communications, integrity, finance, people and culture, equity and inclusion, and STEMM-related areas, with all funded courses commencing in 2026.
