What is This Girl Can Week?
This Girl Can Victoria advocates for all women – cis, trans, non-binary and gender diverse – to get active in supportive and welcoming environments.
Feeling inspired? Get involved in this fantastic week with free events at Active Melbourne! See what’s on at our sites above.
This Girl Can Week is running from 11 to 17 November. To celebrate, we’re offering a range of free activities across Active Melbourne for those who identify as a woman or girl.
Whether you enjoy playing sport or simply want to get more active, there’s something to suit everyone. Work up a sweat at our fitness sessions, take a swing at our golf day, or learn a new skill at our skate clinics.
Come along solo, or grab a friend to come with you. All ages and abilities are welcome to get involved, take the plunge and try something new. You may just find a new activity that you enjoy!
