Our Story

Empowering girls through the power of netball.

At Confident Girls Foundation, we believe every girl deserves the opportunity to thrive. Through the power of netball, we support girls aged 5 to 30, particularly those in remote, rural and marginalised communities, by creating opportunities to build confidence, resilience, and leadership skills.

Netball is more than just a game.

It is a connection to community, a pathway to empowerment, and a catalyst for a brighter future.

That is why we partner with grassroots and community-based organisations to deliver programs that:

• Break down financial and social barriers

• Challenge gender stereotypes

• Create safe spaces where girls can grow and thrive

Since our inception, we have supported over 85,000 girls and young women across 474 locations in Australia. Through more than 900 programs, we have helped girls facing adversity discover their inner strength, build meaningful connections, and develop life skills that last a lifetime.

Our Mission

To empower marginalised girls through netball.

We are committed to tackling the root causes of gender inequality and promoting inclusion so that every girl, no matter her background, has the chance to reach her full potential both on and off the court.

Our Connection with Netball Australia

The Confident Girls Foundation is the official charity of Netball Australia, united by a shared purpose:

To create space for women and girls to be the best version of themselves.

Netball Australia understands the power of netball extends well beyond the court and is motivated to ensure all Australians experience its positive impact.

“Investing in girls is one of the smartest things we can do to promote a healthier, more prosperous world. More importantly, it’s the right thing to do.”
