Mentoring the next generation of women in football.

The Onside Mentoring Program is a transformative initiative designed to empower women in football by providing tailored mentorship, professional development, and networking opportunities. Focused on fostering the growth and leadership of women at all levels of the game—whether on the field, in coaching, administration, or governance—the program aims to create a more inclusive and equitable football community across Australia.

Through a structured, supportive framework, participants are paired with experienced mentors who offer guidance, advice, and real-world insights. The program covers key areas such as leadership skills, career advancement, personal growth, and navigating the unique challenges women face within the football industry.

Onside Mentoring encourages collaboration and knowledge-sharing across diverse backgrounds and experiences, building a strong network of women who are committed to advancing gender equality in football. By cultivating talent, confidence, and leadership, we are not only creating opportunities for individual success but also contributing to the long-term development of women’s football.

The Onside Mentoring Program is part of Women Onside’s broader mission to promote the inclusion, development, and resourcing of women in football, ensuring women’s voices and talents are recognised and celebrated in every aspect of the sport.
