Empowering women in sport, business & leadership

Welcome to female first

At Female First, we acknowledge the Traditional Owners of this Country, we recognise and honour the deep connection to the lands, waterways, and communities. We pay our respects to all Elders past and present who have guided and nurtured us, and continue to lead our journey toward healing, strength, and unity. Their wisdom and resilience inspire us to create positive change for future generations to come. 

creating space for females to come first

Whether you’re an athlete, entrepreneur, or community leader, we’re here to provide the resources, support, pathways, and visibility you need to thrive.


Together, we are building a network where women are visible, valued, and unstoppable.


Through mentoring programs, business support, workshops, and culturally immersive retreats, we connect women with opportunities that empower them to grow, inspire others, and create lasting change.

OUR VISION FOR FEMALE FIRST

A world where every woman, from the city to the most remote community, can see herself as a leader, athlete, and change-maker. We envision stadiums, boardrooms, and communities filled with women who are fearless, visible, and unstoppable, driving change for generations to come.
